Thread: Prays Needed For Apollo at Vets - Sending Poo Sample Away Now *Update Post #17*

    Prays Needed For Apollo at Vets - Sending Poo Sample Away Now *Update Post #17*

    I'm going to be calling the vets at 8 a.m. hopefully someone will be in by then if not at 8:30 a.m.

    He was acting so strange last night I was so worried about him. He's been having a spell of the diaherra since I gave him his last worming dosage on Oct. 28th.

    I figured the runs were normal but when I called the vets yesterday they told me I needed to start him on a bland diet so I went to the vets last night and purchased some I/D canfood and he ate almost all of 1 can of cat food.

    So it was close to 10 p.m. and I went to bed and normally he will scratch at the door wanting in with me until I give up and go sleep on the couch until my husband gets home.

    But Apollo didn't scratch at the door or anything which was weird and I figured he was just sleepy. About 2 a.m. or so my husband asked me if Apollo was sleeping alot tonight and I said a little bit but not too much.

    So I went out to see Apollo and I picked him up and he felt pretty warm. I tried to give him some canfood and he wouldn't take any, we tried milk nothing, we even tried to give him some other food and he wasn't interested at all.

    I started to get really worried so I took him temp and mine isn't very fast so when it got up to 103 he pulled out and then it beeped so I don't know if that's his temperature or not.

    Then shortly after that he tried to go to the bathroom and he ended up throwing up liquid in his litter box.

    This morning after being awake almost the rest of the night because I was so worried that something might happen to him.

    I got up around 6:30 a.m. and he wanted to eat regular dry food not the canfood so I'm glad about that.

    He still seemed warm to me and so I brought him into work with me but he seems to be acting better now.

    I'm going to call the vets though and see if they will see him and see what to do.

    This morning he is feeling ok I think, he was slightly warm but I think he's better.

    Maybe I'm over reacting, well that's what one of my co-workers said but then again she doesn't understand my cats are like my childern.

    I have to drop him off at the vets and they will call once they check him out. It's better to be safe than sorry.

    It was just so weird how sick he acted last night and all he wanted while he was here at work was to be out of the cage.

    All our prayers and good wishes for Apollo, that he is fine.

    I am hoping Apollo just had a little bug and will be just fine.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Hi All-

    Alice (the vet) just called me and she said she checked him out and he is appearing to be ok. They took his temperature this morning and it 101.5 which is good she said. She listened to him and felt him and everything appears to be normal and she said if he poops or throws up while there she will examine it to see if he still has roundworms or anything like that.

    I told her everything that happened and told her about how he was acting fine again this morning so I agreed if he throws up or has some more runny diarrhea she will give him some fluids but for right now he is pretty well hydrated for having the runs.

    The vets said she is going to watch him throughout the day and I'll probably call before I leave work to see if I can pick him up.

    Thank you for the prays,
    Melissa

    I was able to pick up Apollo on Friday evening around 7 p.m. Alice (vet) said he was doing fine; he wanted to play and ate for them. They were hoping to collect a stool sample but he didn't give them one. Alice told us as soon as he gives a sample we should bring it over for them to look at. As soon as we put him in the car he started passing gas of course so we knew our little boy had to go potty.

    As soon as we brought him inside, he ran to the litter box. Our litter must be better or something.

    He pooped right away so I was able to get his sample and bag it up and on Saturday we took it to the vets.

    I met with Alice and she suggested that since we have wormed 4-5 times now and he still has runny diarrhea that there might be a parasite or something they can't catch under their microscope so we should send a sample away to a lab.

    That price is $130.00

    I swear I need a second job. Anyway, the poop will be sent away and hopefully we will figure out why he has such runny poo and hopefully it will be a simple fix.

    On Sunday Apollo was feeling much better and he reminded me that soon we need to get him fixed big time. He was trying to have some fun with my one girl cats. I want to wait till we figure out his poop issues before putting him under the knife but I'm going to talk with the vets tonight and see.
