off to the vets again with ellie-mae this time...

[carole]

Ellie has not really bounced back at all, i would not expect her to be 100 per cent, but she is not doing that great, it is obvious she is not feeling well, i rang the vet about her eye and they want to see her tonight, so off we go again,honestly we just about live there these days, however it will be no consult charge so that is something i guess,and i will be happier having her checked out, as i am not happy at her progress.

The good thing is she is eating ok, so that is a blessing, but in general she is one not so well kitty,please keep my wee girl in your thoughts and wish her well again, i am worried for her, she is usually such a fiesty wee thing, I so wish for her to be her old self again.

It will be so traumatic for her going back again, that is the worst part of it all, and i am feeling like death myself, but i want to go with her to comfort her and see what the vet say's, i know hubby would do it alone, but i feel i must be there for my little girl, i can sit in the back with her and talk to her and pat her on the way,make her feel not so alone.

So here's hoping they can find out if there is anything else bothering her, fix her eye up and she can be on the mend soon. poor baby.

My prayers are still with dear Ellie Mae. There's nothing worse than one of your babies being sick.

I hope that it's just that Ellie Mae is taking longer than usual to snap back. I hope you feel better soon, too. Prayers are continuing. Keep the faythe.

ok well somehow i seem to have two threads going,so i will respond here as well,i am blaming it on my cold and the stress and worry lol.,i am confused.

Ok we took Ellie to the vets last night,poor wee girl has got the cat flu on top of her surgery, and YES I DO VACCINATE ALL MY CATS, but because she was not before i rescued her, she probably had it already and they can be carriers, and because her body was under stress due to the gum problem and surgery, i guess her immunity is low and it set in, the day of the surgery i noticed her sneezing and i did mention it to the vets.

She had another pain relief injection and has conoptal for her eyes to prevent a bacterial infection getting in there, she is eating well, but i wish she would drink more, however Gabe the vet said she was not de-hydrated.

Gabe weighed her and she just sat on the scales looking miserable, never moved, she was such a good girl, she is improving ever so slightly, not a lot but is warm and cosy inside with me,we both are keeping warm, i am feeling lousy too, all blocked up and tired, but just got to get through it all,just want my little girl to be her old fiesty self again.

Hoping my other kitties are not at risk, lexie and Ash just had their vaccinations and Nikki is not due to oct, so should be ok, Ash is my main worry as he has the kidney failure and his immunity would not be as good, but i think they should all be ok, just got to concentrate on Ellie for now.

Thanks for your concern,will keep you posted on Ellie's progress, i knew something was not right with my girl, when Ash has his done , he bounced back the first night.

She is not even trying to get outside today, so i know she is feeling bad, it is a lovely sunny day down under , but has a bitterly cold icy wind, she is going nowhere, staying inside with her meowmie and getting better.
