You know Pam, I thought there was a connection from the very beginning, somehow. First Graemer was ill, on a Saturday, then the next day Gabe, and went to the vet on Monday, and was put down on Tuesday. Graemer never really popped back from his illness but the Vet examined him and thought it might be a back or soft tissure injury. Cats are so difficult to diagnose without going into xrays, surgery, and lots of blood work. There were no signs that he had chest involvement until this morning. Graemer was experiencing labored breathing. Well, it took me 1/2 an hour to get him to the vet. I just don't know how far along his infection is..... Vet #1 took 3 vials of goop out of his chest. Vet #2 is doing the draining of the lungs etc. and exploratory surgery if necessary. If the initial treatments work, we will all be happy. The vet kept saying that if the cat resists treatment, it will not work. Graemer is really a sweet heart and will tolerate just about anything..... Miley is not like that and Gabe, well, he was not tolerant either........ Miley is sharing her living space today, with that little furry dog. They are not best of friends, but certainly are entertaining each other.

By the way, Graemer is not nearly in as much distress as the poor little Gabe was.....so the upset here in the house is not so high, but lots and lots of worry, for sure.

Fingers crossed! Come on Grammy Crackers. The last thing I said to him is that he better get well and come home.....I surely hope he was listening!!
