Now Gabe is sick! Much worse than Graemer!

[marysmerrycats]

I feel so bad for you, I don't know what to say. just that I will be thinking about you and praying for Gabe.

Gabe sounds like Louise, hard to medicate. when some of my cats got sick, I thought oh what if she gets sick, I will never be able to give HER medicine. well when she did get sick, I found a way. you will find a way to give Gabe meds too if it comes to that.
and don't give up on the chest xray. just because Gabe didn't let them take it then, maybe try it again and if they hold him, pet him, maybe he will be calmer?sometimes I wonder how kitties are treated back there...
I don't know how his personality is? Louise never lets me hold or pet her, but at the vets once, she climbed in my arms and wanted me to hold her!
I don't supose there is any way they would allow you to go back there with him for the x-ray?

dear Gabe, get better!

SAS, I am so sorry to hear that Gabe is not feeling well after you just got Graemer feeling better.
I hope Gabe gets better soon so he can enjoy playing with you and your two little monkeys!

Things are NOT improving. I will know more in the morning. I hope he makes it.

Please Gabe, please....breath better....please!!!!

[Pam]

Sallyanne I have been watching Westminster but my thoughts have been with Gabe too. I had hoped you would be on once more tonight with better news but it is not sounding good. Gabe, please pull through little guy!!! We are all praying that those breaths are going to start to come easier. {{{{hugs to Gabe and SAS}}}}

I;m lighting a candle for Gabe.

[Christiansmommy]

I have tears in my eyes from reading your last post, Sallyanne. I have been thinking of Gabe all day...and of you also. I'll just pray that Gabe will remain comfortable...and I know that he knows that he is surrounded by love, from both you and the cats. Poor Gabriel...I just hope he feels better. Please keep me posted and again, give him a kiss from me. Tell him that his other Jersey mommy, Robyn, loves him.

((((HUGS to both of you)))))))

I will be holding my breath until I hear the latest news.

Oh my gosh, I just can't believe it. I won't go into details, but I really and truly thought he died last night. When I went to find him just now (he WAS sitting on the cool kitchen tile floor all night, after moving around the house) he was gone! He had walked ?? across the kitchen and was sitting on a rug in front of the washing machine and dryer. He is much more relaxed now much more than last night, all night, but still laboring with his breathing. I will confess to having put a sedative medication in his ear last night around 3 AM (the stuff he came to me with for his bad behavior) knowing full well that it might do him in. I just could not sit back and listen and watch him last night. I thought I would be putting him out of his misery.

So he is actually better now than early last evening, breathing wise, but now I must wait until 8:30 until the vet opens up. I know it will be a tough decision when I talk to the Vet.

So, anyway, the Gabe boy made it though the night. What a night. Now what? I hope only the best recovery for Gabe, but I cannot put him through much more.

Thanks for you love and support!

Sallyanne thank you for using that sedative! You are an angel. I think that there certainly must be some fear on Gabe's part as it has to be horribly frightening to not be able to breathe. I think you may have helped him tremendously in allowing him to relax a bit. Oh this news is so sad. I just can't believe it. Tears are falling now. Gabe we love you!

[jenluckenbach]

thank you for the report (I am off to work now ,and I can at least know that the medicine "kicked in")
Best wishes for the vet trip and further diagnosis.

Sallyanne, at first, I didn't think it was that bad with Gabe. I really hope he'll pull through. Try and keep him warm and relaxed! I know the waiting is the worst, not being able to do much yourself, but hopefully when you can take him to the vet, he can be treated and get better soon.

I'm sure you've been surfing the net trying to find out more about his condition and I guess that's all you can do for now.

Best of luck and all our fingers and paws crossed for him!

Get well soon, dear Gabe!

Hugs to you Sallyanne!
