Miley-girl is ill...hope it is routine cat thing!

[Randi]

Oh Sallyanne, I do hope it's not her kidneys. Hopefully, the vet will find the cause of this quickly, and hopefully it' something easily treatable.

We'll keep all fingers and paws crossed for little Miley girl.

Positive thoughts being sent your way, Sas!

I just love my newish vet. She is so calm and thorough. Nothing has showed up on xrays. The vet seems to think Miley has colon problems and is filled with gas. She is going to give me to drugs to give her and then we will wait for the blood work to come back tomorrow. She will also be tested for FIP. So, other than no news, which is good news in some ways, Miley will have to wear a bib for the next few days! The vet said she was such a good little girl, tolerating the poking and xrays very nicely. That's my girl. She really is a trooper when it comes to the vet. The worst experience had to have been when Tiberus bit the day-lights out of her and she had to have drains hanging from her side end for days on end. She never touched them.

So, things are ok and I can bring Ms. Miley home a little after 5 PM. Then we deal with the pills!

Thanks for listening.

Robyn, I always have flash backs to where Grammy and Gabe died. We won't go there. That is why I insisted on xrays today. Just to be sure!

I think we all had the same flashback. Hope it is just the colon- that should be manageable. Although I never had to pill Filou up to now

I'm a little late here but I'm glad that it's nothing serious and that some meds will be able to help her. Get well soon Miley girl.

Miley drooling!!!!!! It is hard to imagine such a thing.....

hope all turns out well....oddly enough I noticed something in Edwina's mouth this morning. I thought maybe she had bitten Eddie too hard or something....

Here's to a routine cat thing.....

[Cataholic]

Oh, Miley girl, whatever is your problem? While I had hoped it was a tooth, maybe you are just 'full'?

Keep us posted.

Sorry I missed this earlier! I am glad to hear nothign is terribly wrong -- but what a worry your day must have been! I'm sure you can find a nice stylish bib for her to wear

Hi,

I picked up Miley after work yesterday. She was happy to see/hear me!

It seems that, unless we see something in her blood work yet to be reported, she has issues with her digestive tract/colon and will be one medications for about 20 days. The vet said she had nothing in her colon except gas and she was filled with gas throughout her intestines too. She must have been in great pain. That could have been why she was drooling so much. So I must wait for the reports to come back from the labs to see if it would be related to kidneys etc.

She slept like a log all night long, even after being given 2 pills after dinner! She is easy to pill, but hard to catch once she gets into the routine.....she begins to hide from me after day two. I usually keep the pills out of the container and in my pocket so that when she passes by, I grab her. Once I have her, she is easy to give the meds to! Now Juni is another story. You might think I was trying to kill her even when I try to get the sleepy things out of her eyes!

Now we wait for the reports. I had emailed my breeder about Miley and she called me last night. She said that most cats have problems at some time in their life span with gas or intestine problems.

The vet seemed to think that the gas would have passed eventually, but how was I to know that. Poor Miley, not being able to sleep and drooling like crazy to boot!

She is worth every penny of a vet bill! She's my good little girl!
