    We are sending our loving good wishes and healing energies to sweet Mindy that the cough clears up and her eyesight stays well.

    I hope Mindy's antibiotic treatment will help, and also that her eye will be OK. I can see what you mean in the picture.

    Sending lots of good thoughts and kisses to dear Mindy... and to you.

    Yesterday, Mindy vomited all of her supper 10 minutes after eating it.
    From that point on, there was relentless vomiting all night. Between the throw ups, she had terrible coughing spells with some wheezing. And every few minutes, she would frantically paw at her ears which were red and hot.
    Needless to say, there was no sleep, as she would not leave my side, sitting right beside my head, coughing and vomiting.
    This morning, I took her to see her vet. Her lungs sounded clear, and her abdomen was not painful.
    We took chest x-rays, which showed some bronchial patterns, signs of asthma.
    There are two issues now: the coughing is most likely feline asthma, the vomiting and the skin issues are an allergic reaction of unknown origin.
    Mindy received fluids under the skin, and anti-nausea medication, and a dexamethasone injection, a corticosteroid.
    Right now, she is tuckered out in my lap. I gave her a few kibbles. So far, no vomiting.
    Mindy has always been the healthiest of all my kitties. If she has indeed asthma, she has become the 4th special needs kitty in the house of cats.
    Please send some healing thoughts.
