I know I am whining, but at this moment I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
In the past week or so 5 of our 8 cats have developed URIs. Still not sure how that happened since they are all strictly indoors and we always wash our hands as soon as we walk in the door just in case we have come in contact with something that can make them sick. Anyway, they are pretty miserable. So I as I am getting ready to take one to the vet, I injure myself. Off to the ER for me. The ER doc thinks it is a tear in my achillies tendon. Puts me in this huge Frankenstein style boot and gives me crutches and tells me to make an appointment with an Orthopedic doc. So since I have now missed the vet appointment and can't drive because of my injury, my partner takes the one of the cats to the vet er because she is coughing (the others are not) and seems sicker. The er vet examines her and says she seems fine, but gives her an antibiotic" just in case. "
Refuses to give antibiotic for the other sick cats, says we have to bring them all in. And my job is insisting that I have to be back at work by Friday. (I really doubt I will be healed by then but fingers crossed) AND we are supposed to be having new flooring installed in 2 rooms next week, and I'm supposed to have all the furniture out of those rooms before they start.
I'm just stressing out right now. So worried about the cats. All the sick ones are 8+ years and have never had a cold before. I had been giving them Lactoferrin but when my partner asked the er vet if it was beneficial, he didn't even know what it was and said not to give them anything.
Sorry this was so ridiculously long. I just needed to whine/vent. Fingers crossed that things start to improve soon.
