Tragedy at the Layne household... VIDEO ADDED POST 177!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Poor Andy! Glad he is improving. My husband is nutty (or maybe not!) about the dryer. He fusses if I leave it open even if empty. He fears one of the kitties will get in it.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Ok. Not so great update. Andy did well today, BUT would not eat.I thought it was from so much excitement and the tounge hurting. He was acting ok, listless but that is to be expected. Anyways, by afternoon, the ERV said he sounds fine, and that I could just bring him to my normal vet tomorrow- WONDERFUL!\

About an hour ago, I was loving on him, and he felt hot to the touch - nose, ears, paw pads, and gums. I had hubby hold him while I took his temp. It is back up tp 104.5. I have to bring him in for the night. The ERV said that is much higher than it should be, so I have to bring him back. I cant believe this. It is the sick feeling all over again...

I promise to update once I get the information. I am sorry I got my and you alls hopes up Please continue to pray for Andy.

[Scooter's Mom]

Katie, you and Andy are in my prayers. He's a healthy, strong boy and he will pull through! Keep the faith that he'll pull through. I know when I'm not feeling well, the evenings are when I am at my worst.

Hugs to you all,
Crystal

Just keep thinking that the fever is fighting off something going on. That's all.

He will be fine, he just has to be.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Andy tonight. Just keep calm. Hugs, Katie!

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry to see this latest update. I guess because he just seemed to look so good, I thought the worst was over. More prayers and good thoughts going out for Andy.

[Freedom]

I am sure being home with you has helped him. So let him spend the night at the ERV maybe getting some fluids to help his body cope with the healing process

Continued prayers for Andy.

Katie, I again have tears in my eyes. This is going to take some time, but he just has to get better. He looks so great! And there are SOO many people here pulling for him.
Did you happen to ask the vet about the feeding tube Jen mentioned? Or some way they could get nourishment into him since his tongue is so sore? I think that will help him tremendously.

We are still sending out our strong positive thoughts that Andy will overcome this and be back home with his siblings and his meowmie very soon.

[Catty1]

He'll get better, hon - this is just a setback. You know that when humans get sunstroke, it can be a bit like flu...you start feeling better, then slide back a bit if you overdo even a little. Andy was 'being a cat', and just needs a little more intervention to cool him down again.

HUGS and major PT prayers to you all.

[Moesha]

Everyone has Andy in their thoughts, and we sure are hoping for good news to come. I can't imagine the ups and downs you are going through. Please try to take care of yourself through this ordeal.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Katie, I'm glad that Andy was able to come home and spend some time with you. He sure looks good. I'm so sorry to hear that his temperature went back up and that he has to go back to the ERV. He'll remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Oh my. We all, here in Camp Vermont, send Andy get well wishes. Two girls (campers of the furry kind) send especially warm wishes as they too, were bad little campers and tried out the washer and dryer when they were younger. Lucy, the little (now huge) black kitten ended up in the washer for a few minutes and Chloe ended up in the dryer for a round or two. It is so common. Lucy, lucky as could be, was in my front load washer, and one that uses the minimum amount of water. I also use eco friendly detergent, thus she came out unscathed and smelling sweet as could be. I had her checked at the vet the following day, and she was fine. My guess is that she was in there for less the two minutes. Chloe, one of my Aby girls was in the dryer for about 30 seconds, when I heard the thuds and just knew it was probably a cat. Sure enough. She walked funny for a few minutes, but I got her just in time. Neither of them will go near the laundry area now. It happens SO often.

I hope you will let yourself off the hook for this problem. Cats are just so curious and you will never be able to save them all, from themselves. It just happens.

I will never forget my two cats and their incidents, and I was so darn lucky. I hope your luck is as good as mine.

((((((((((((((((((Andy and Meowmie))))))))))))))))))

Keep us posted. If it is meant to be, Andy will be fine. If not, he will be one of our furry friends, keeping all the others company, in RB. Let's hope for the best!

So sorry that Andy needs to go back to the vet, but better safe in their hands than have you worrying at home. The prayers are still coming.

[momtomany]

The Dunn gang is adding their prayers along with everyone else for both you and Andy.

[chocolatepuppy]

More prayers headed Andy's way. {hugs}

[doolittleky]

ok, I just talked to Katie. She was on her way to the ER with Andy. She said that they can't even see him until 9:00 because they are packed. She gave me her paypal address for anyone that wanted to contribute to the vet bill. It is [email protected] . For anyone that would rather pay the vet directly she said she would have to wait until tomorrow and talk to her regular vet clinic to see if they would take a payment plan and then get him an appt and then she can give you the vet info. She wanted me to tell you how much she appreciates all your prayers and support and your offers to help. She is suppose to call me back when she finds more out about Andy.
