Original Poster, where are you? I'm in New York, and my cats are both sneezing like mad.

...She came home last night. Her name, by the way, is Akasha. (we were reading Anne Rice at the time. It was the '90's, dammit. Sue us.) She truly has been the queen of the damned these last few weeks.. >:} Anyway, the ultrasound didn't show anything. No heart or lung problems. The vet...

... Now, we went yesterday and talked with the vet we trust. She told us that the cat was NOWHERE near the point of us taking her home to die. This was a slight relief, although looking at the cat you could never tell. She was wiped out, tho a little more vocal than the day before, and she got...

... I may have exaggerated slightly about the turkey baster. It was actually one of those antibiotic syringes they give you to administer with, and rather than "shooting" it down, we were giving her small squirts. Duly noted, though. I won't force-feed her anymore water. Also, thanks much...

Hi. I'm new to this board. I live in New York City. I have had a pretty awful vet (and pet) experience in the past two weeks, and thought someone would know what to do, would have words of encouragement.. etc. Thanks in advance. It's somewhat long...This is taken directly from a letter I sent...
