Sounds like he's getting back to his old self, spirit! That's great...he's getting better and better! Sardines...ewww. You re a good, dedicated kitty mom! ;) Kitty hugs ((>^.^<)) to you all!
So worried about Heidi!! Hoping for the best.
Bob seems to be better yet. He wasn't wanting his food, it looked like he recognised it ought to be food but he didn't smell anything when he sniffed it so he gave up. I syringed the gravy to him but wanted to get something substantial in him. I found sardines packed in water that are low sodium and after getting the ok from my vet offered these stinky things to him and happily they were a hit!! He only eats a few nibbles at a time, but will come and ask for more when he's ready (he's talking again!! so happy to hear his little voice!) and he's starting to do his nails and stretch, he's showing Spirit affection and visiting both Ed and I as he sees fit. No more hiding under the bed w/the blank stare, much less coughing and no more of that scary gasping. i'm religious about his meds and he's getting tired of that-but i take that as a good sign too-instead of just lethargically letting me do what i have to do he's arguing w/me now. I'm still counting every day as a gift-believe me!!
Oh, Thank God! Maybe the crisis is over! After I just posted about Heidi, I saw that you had posted about Bob...and I feared the worst. I am so happy that he seems to have made a turnaround. Sounds like he's going to be fine!
Thanks, spirit for the good thoughts for Heidi. I hope she comes home too...if she can!
Oh gosh-hope Heidi is ok and comes home-what a terrible feeling!!! Bob's blood work was clear, he had nebulizer treatments and antibiotic treatments while @ the vet, i'm giving him orbax and a diuretic to help his little heart-the vet's concern was that he may have a heat problem we didn't know about and now it's being strained by the illness. Good news: today he came downstairs to visit my fiance in the tv room, looked at the birdy window, generally checked things out (he's been in the upstairs bedroom for about a day and 1/2) and that seems to have tuckered him out for right now, so he's napping again. He seemed much more interactive than yesterday-looking @ my face when i spoke to him & such instead of the blank stare or turning away. We can only do our best for him and take it a day at a time.
Thinking good thoughts and hoping Heidi ok and comes home-let us know!!
Spirit, I was just re-reading your posts and I think maybe you should see about getting him an antibiotic shot. He's had this awhile and I think he's getting weaker. Did the Vet actually see him? Maybe I'm just getting paranoid, worrying about my cat. Opus, it's Heidi...
poor little Bob, my heart goes out to him....honey we don't have the answers your looking for, its best to talk with Bob's Vet and see what he thinks, but imo if he's still eating and drinking thats a great sign.... hope he soon is romping around again..
Linda...whats happened to your kitty? Tommy?
saw your new profile pic, what a hoot...is that one of yours?....OMG its cute...-)
Still praying for Bob. He doesn't sound better...have you talked to the Vet? I'm going through a sad time also...a missing kitty.
