Well, since Gabe would not allow them to xray his chest, they are treating him for allergies. He was given a long acting sterroid shot....and it should help with his breathing within 24 hours. If it does not help, then it could very well be heart related. The Vet said that Gabe is not a good candidate for long term anything....as in pills, shots etc. and that we would discuss what to do if we see that his shot has not helped. When the Vet listened to his chest, Gabe was breathing so hard he couldn't hear his little heart! He said his chest was not flexible at all and that he thought he was filled with fluid. Anyway, I am just going to cross my fingers, say my prayers and deal with it. I just want Gabe to be comfortable. Right now he is ok. I surely hope the coming 24 are good ones. Wish us luck. Poor Gabe. He was really good until they tried to put him on the xray table. Then all hell broke loose. Graemer is fine today. I mentioned to the Vet (different Vet than Saturday) about my other cat responding to antibiotics and he didn't think it was related at all. Oh well. If I find that the sterroid has not worked, I will ask him for antibotics as a last ditch effort. I will just deal with it, keeping Gabe in mind 100%.

Thanks for your prayers and positive thoughts.
