An update on Kitty: she ended up having to have emergency dental surgery. They tried everything to get rid of her upper respiratory infection and she was getting worse. Turns out it was all due to the abscessed teeth.....it was so bad it was spreading into her sinuses! They had to remove them...

They took blood and don't have results yet.....supposed to call me in a day or two. Calicivirus does not sound familiar from the discussion, nor do those symptoms. Received liquid clavamox in the meantime, no pain meds. Should i ask for some? Go back in 10 days to make sure she's better, then we...

Success! Finally wore her down and was able to get her in a crate and to a vet. Turns out she had several abcessed teeth and an upper respiratory infection. Who'd a thunk it could go downhill that much just within a few hours? Thank you for your suggestions and encouragement! I have a feeling...

Thank you. I'll give it a try. The last time I trapped her to get her spayed, she just hung out in the back and gave me the stink eye. She definitely recognizes it when she sees it. I'm in Florida, btw. She's a very sweet cat, and typically very chatty, so it's really hard to see her like this...

To clarify, it looks like whatever is stuck in her mouth won't allow her to even open it. Poor baby.

I really hope someone can help. I "adopted" a feral cat a little over a year ago. She has been trapped and spayed. She will now even come up to me every evening and lay on my lap while I pet her, and she can't wait for the twice daily feedings. This evening I realized she hadn't eaten, and I...
