Peanut asks for prayers - New update (pg 6)

[trayi52]

Debbie, so glad to hear that Peanut is doing so much better! What a relief! She is such a sweetheart, please give her a big hug for me, and also a kiss on the nose.

I will keep her in my prayers in the meantime, just in case she still needs them.

Woohoot!!
I'm very happy about your kitty's health turnaround.
I was worried when I read your first post, but....
The feeling when all is well with our animals, particularly after a period of anxiety, is outstanding. It's like a gift.
God bless.

Debbie, thank goodness you have good news this morning too. I am so relieved for you because I know when my kitties are sick - it makes me sick too - with worry.

Big hugs to you!

I think we all needed these good news as much as you.
Way to go Peanut!

[momcat]

Way to go, Peanut! How wonderful it is to know that you're feeling better, eating, and greeting Meowmie when she comes home. Groucho is so happy he's sending you purrs and headbumpies. Keep on getting better, sweetie Peanut. Prayers are still being prayed for you!

How is Peanut doing today? Here's hoping your little sweetheart continues to improve by leaps and bounds!!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks for asking, momcat. I actually came on to ask a question about the snuffly sneezes and was surprised to see this thread bumped up already. It's as if you were reading my mind!

Peanut seems to have had a bit of a set back. She has been snuffly and sneezy all week, but today she seems particularly sneezy, and isn't as active as she usually is on the weekend when we're home. I'm not too worried because she's still eating like she's going to the chair, but I was wondering how long kitty colds tend to last? CJ only had the snuffly sneezies for 2 - 3 days, but I know Peanut is older and it takes elders longer to recuperate from anything. Earlier in the week it almost sounded like she was coughing, whereas today she's definitely sneezing. Could it just be that, like in humans, the cold has moved from her lungs to her head? At what point do I concede and take her to the vet....knowing that she's terrified of the vet and he can't do much for a cold anyway?

Worried meowmy.

EEK! Our baby girl has a nasty old cold? Peanut, I hope you get over that nasty cold fast!! Get Well Soon!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Took Snuffleofagus....errr....I mean Peanut...to the vet tonight. She's been sneezing more and more instead of less and less. Input and output is still good, and she's acting normal, but we were just a little worried since it's been an entire week now and she doesn't seem to be getting better. You can hear her breathe as the air makes it past the congestion. The vet heard that and was worried and said he wanted to do a chest scan....I think that's what he said. So he listened to her lungs with the stethascope, took her temperature (which she did NOT like at all!) and then took her in back for the chest scan. He looked relieved when he came back and said he was worried she might have blahblahblah disease, but the chest scan was clear so that wasn't the case - whew! I said "so it's just a cold then?" and he said he didn't really think it was a cold because she didn't have a temperature. He gave me some prednisolone to help reduce the congestion. He said if she starts getting worse or stops eating to bring her back immediately.

He's really a good vet. Sometimes he seems a little "brisk" and "short" but he really cares about the kitties he treats and he genuinely seemed relieved when it wasn't anything serious. He asked about the blood in her urine too, and I told him the antibiotics seem to be doing their thing because the last time Peanut peed outside the box it was clear, no blood at all - whew!

So, she's not totally out of the woods yet. I have to give her the pred. for 20 days and then let him know how she's doing.

Oh, and as I was petting her and smooching on her while we waited for him to come back with the results, I noticed she was blowing bubbles. Poor little girl has so much snot in her nose that she blows bubbles as she breathes. I guess she is literally my snotty little girl now.

[jazzcat]

Poor Peanut.

So what does he think it is if it's not a cold? Did I miss that?

Whatever it is I sure hope the pred. helps so our Miss Peanut will feel better and not have to blow snot bubbles anymore.
