Ziggy's Sick Please Send Prayers & Positive Thoughts Her Way

[krazyaboutkatz]

Hi, last night Ziggy didn't want to eat but she was very thirsty. I tried feeding her again later and she did eat some but not as much as she normally does. I just figured it was because she's still recovering from her spay. This morning she wouldn't eat at all and would only drink. She had also done some mushy poos in her litterbox. I tried again later but she wouldn't eat or drink and she had diarrhea in her litterbox this time and she had also thrown up some white foamy stuff.

I called my vet right away and got an appointment for 11:40am. The vet said that she's running a low grade fever and that she probably picked up some kind of an intestional flu bug. My other cats should be safe since they're all up to date on their vaccines and are older. She on amoxicillin tablets 2 times a day for the next 7 days. He was going to give me liquid but I prefer tablets because they're less messy. Boy was she hard to pill. At least she's wearing her e-collar so this helps. She still didn't want anything to eat to drink. If she still hasn't improved in 3 days then she has to be seen again. Please send prayers and positive thoughts her way. Thanks in advance.

Poor little girl! Hopefully the antibiotics will cure her fever and get rid of that nasty bug!

Hugs to that sweetheart - get well soon, Ziggy!

Ziggy you are in my prayers.get well soon.

[Randi]

Poor Ziggy, I hope she'll get better soon! Hopefully she'll be easier to pill as the days go by.

Give her scritchies and kisses from me.

I just hate hearing this. Do you think she picked up something at the Humane Society? She doesn't have an infection does she? Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in real quick. Get better little Ziggy!

[Killearn Kitties]

Aww sweetheart! You take those pills and get better soon! We will all have our paws crossed here.

Yes, she probably did pick something up at the Humane Society since her spay may have caused her immune system to become weaker. This is why she needed at least 2 FVRCP booster shots before her spay which she did receive.The people at the Humane Society said to watch out for her possibly getting an URI but she doesn't have this.The vet said it's probably being caused by some form of the corona virus. I sure hope that pills will do the trick. Her incision looks wonderful and the vet was amazed that her spay had only been done on Friday. I'll continue to keep you updated about her.
