Prayers For Thumper

[furrykidsmother]

Sorry to hear that Thumper's temp is still up and had to spend the night. I hope that this morning will bring encouraging news and that your baby will be home with you soon.

[Barbara]

It could still be a virus infection. I am glad to hear that she is better and peeing, pooping and eating. So I hope she's on her way to recovery

Barbara,
They suspect kidney infection.

Update 10:33 a.m.
SHE GETS TO COME HOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are going to give her another antibotic shot.
Also giving her medication to bring the fever down.
Will send her home with oral antibotic.
They will call be later this morning when she is ready to be picked up. She is eating, peeing. pooping !!!!!!!! Did not pull anything out last night!!!!!
I will be anxious to talk with the vet.

Poor Skinny is picking at his food or playing with it. Going from room to room looking for Thumper (i think). He doesnt feel warm to me. I'm debating about taking him with me and having them do a quick "once over" as I told hubby, what's another $35 o/v to our hugh bill. LOL

Oh you must be so relieved that Thumper is coming home. Prayers that the antibiotics kick in and she's back to normal in no time.

Sorry to hear about Skinny but better safe than sorry. Feel better Skinny.

[Craftlady]

I check him over good. He doesnt feel warm and his ears are cool (if hot indicates fever). I will talk with them when they call me back to pick Thumper up.

Noon...
I'm leaving to pick her up!!!!!!!!!!
They are saying UTI caused all this problem.
No need to bring Skinny with me they feel it's because he misses her. To see how he acts once she is home.

[Craftlady]

WERE HOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can see where they shaved her in the neck area (to draw blood) and legs for iv's. The red tape can come off anytime, thought I'd try that later tonight.
14 days worth of 1x a day antibotic.

Skinny seemed pleased to see her. Thumper growled at him LOL
I've suspended the "diet plan" for the next couple days. Dont want to stress Thumper since she is eating good and used to food being there last couple days whenever she was hungry. This will give Skinny time to settle down and get back into munching. Bless her heart she has munched within first 10 mins of being home. Cindy is loving going from bowl to bowl munching. LOL

[furrykidsmother]

Oh yeah!!! Glad to see her home! Hope she is feeling better real soon!

[jenluckenbach]

I am so glad that you are home, Thumper!!! Now just keep getting better, OK?

Evening Update

Thumper is eating up all the attention we are giving her since coming home. We cuddled tonight on our bed while watching a show on HGTV(home garden/ tv), thats a sure sign she is starting to feel better. I wont try the temperature taking again for a day, I thought that would be a good idea trying before dinnertime. NOT, peeved her off. She had enough of stuff up ying yang. The vets office said if I wanted to I could monitor her temp. Thumper had other plans. LOL
Mom and Dad are certainly going to sleep much better tonight.

EXHALE! I can breathe better now. On the road to recovery.

Us too
I forgot to mention, Skinny is back eating by dinner hour tonight. Poor little guy missed his sister

[kittycats_delight]

So glad to hear Thumper is on the road to recovery. I can't blame her for objected to the temp thing either. I think I would more than complain if someone was trying to take my temp that way.

Glad to know also the Skinny is back eating and settling back down since sis came home. It's so sweet when they love each other like that.

9:45 p.m. Update
Thumper was given ketoprofen injection (is given to humans for pain, inflammation reducing and fever reducing). Common side effect for humans according to doseage is tummy problems.
Guess who barf all that they ate today
I called the ER vet and they said it's probably the medicine (although the gal didn't go ask a vet). Also she was eating Friskees at the vets and this is not her normal diet.
She seems fine other than probably hungry now after upchucking everything she ate today.
I will call our vet in the a.m.
Always something
She just went potty and it's semi tootie roll (think antibotics are effecting it stinks big time too)

[jazzcat]

Poor Thumper. I'm so glad she is back home and doing better. I hope the tummy troubles don't last long.

Feel better soon Thumper!

Bravo! Way to go, Thumper. Lots of kittykisses to you from me, Sasha the Cat.
