*VERY* Worried about my Basie Bee :(

[Felicia's Mom]

I will keep Basie in my prayers.

Basie is so pathetic today!

He's slept the entire day, except for when CiCi gave him is Clavamox twice today.

He hadn't eaten by about 7:30 p.m. so I brought him some tuna with water and he drank ALL the water and ate a bit of the tuna. I'm going to try that at least three times a day to make sure he's eating and drinking OK.

We have the humidifier plugged in and he seems to like that as he came out of his bed in the closet and laid on my/our bed as soon as I turned it on this afternoon.

Poor little guy, when I finally woke up today, he has a ton of kitty boogers clogging his right little nostril and I had to scrape them out. Ick...I had to keep telling myself that doctors wouldn't think that is gross....keep repeating it Kelly, it may make it less gross soon... and need to keep wiping his little nose as he's past cleaning it himself. He really must feel rotten. Poor Basie, my heart just breaks for that little guy, he looks like he feel terrible.

Anyway, just wanted to update you all. Thanks for the nice wishes. I'll update more tomorrow.

Hugs,
Kelly

Good to see you back posting.

Poor Basie. I hope tomorrow will be a better day for him.

I'm glad that you were able to bring him to a vet and get the medication and care that he needs.

Prayers on the way that he has a full and speedy recovery and ((((((HUGS)))))) to you for support.

It's so hard to see our little ones sick like this.

Kelly,I'm so sorry to hear that Basie has a URI and doesn't feel well. Hopefully the meds will kick in soon and he'll be back to his old self. I also hope that none of the other kitties get this. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are a being sent his way.(((HUGS)))

Boy, everything comes to a huge halt when it is one of our babies that is sick.

Kelly, it sounds as though you are doing a great job all the way around with meds, humidifier and lots of Kleenex.

Big hugs to you and I sure hope adorable Basie is Better real soon.

Awww. poor Basie...just the love and attention will help him, I am sure. Glad he likes the humidifier. Are you allowed to put anything in it, like Vicks or tea tree oil?

I'm sure he will turn around soon....hugs to poor Basie!

Basie is very beautiful. I have a huge soft spot for blackies. I hope he gets better soon. That is a miserable temperature for a kitty. I know having a fever makes you feel really bad. When my Myrtille was feverish and very, very sick from kidney infection, we discovered it because she started lying in the bathroom sink (not one of her previous habits) for comfort from the feverish feeling, and as a kind of sick-nest. Watch every little thing, and I will be hoping and praying that your kitty gets well soon. And cheers for the vet who showed so much care and charged such an incredibly reasonable price.

Hi Kelly!!! I've been missing too so I can sure understand computer problems.

I'm so sorry to hear about Basie. Poor baby. Its bad enough to deal with the asthma but a URI on top of it has to be miserable. Hopefully the meds will have him cleared up soon. This time of year really gets the URI's and asthma fired up. I guess its the weather change and things blooming.

Prayers coming your way that Basie is all better soon and nobody else breaks with URI.

Awww, thanks for the kind wishes for my sweet Basie, guys.

I wish I could teach him to "blow" when I get the tissues ready. He sure doesn't like that part.

But...today he's feeling MUCH better, I can tell. He cleaning his own nose this afternoon and he's been eating and drinking on his own, more than just once or twice!

He is even acting better, he's doing a little more than sleep now. We still have 8 more days of antibiotics, but he seems so much more confortable now.

Catty1, thats a GREAT idea on adding the Vicks to the humidifier. If he needs it again, I'll do that. Thank you.

Hope you are all doing well. I miss you!

Hugs,
Kelly

Poor Basie Kat..

Im sorry he isn't feeling well.. sending some *hugs* and *kisses* over for him..

Glad you see you back too Kelly! Other than your sick baby.. I hope all is well with you!!

[slick]

Kelly, I was going to post this in blue for Basie Boy but thought the "pink and sparkly" theme would cheer you up. I'm so glad that he is doing much better. I have to chuckle at your comment about him blowing when you have the kleenex ready. It's exactly like a small child, isn't it?? Still praying for his continued recovery.

[Catty1]

He's cleaning his OWN nose? GREAT! Glad to hear BB is on the mend!

Keep us posted ok?

hugs
Catty1
