I got up this morning and Dexter was not his usual self.

I noticed that he was breathing hard.
He was rushed to his vet as an emergency.

It could be an asthma attack...
he had one when he was 7 weeks old but has been clear since then.

He is having a chest x-ray, blood work, urine etc & his doctor will call me in a couple of hours with a probable diagnoses and treatment plan.
Best case senaro....asthma.
Worse case....possible heart problem.

Please....pray, send vibes and positive thoughts for my precious Dexter.
I should have a call from his vet when the x-rays are done.
His labs will be sent out.

My beautiful Dexter is sick.

I am really scared.
Sadie is meowing for him.

My Sadie sends heartfelt hugs to you and your babies. We hope that it is nothing serious with Dexter and that his vet has good news for you.

Dexter's doctor just called...
The x-rays show that he probably is having an asthma attack.
His heart looks OK....
That is a huge relief.

He is being treated with oxygen, a steroid injection and antibiotics because the x-rays showed some bronchial infiltrates.
I think that means a bacterial infection.
He will be at the hospital for a few more hours while he is stabilized then I can bring by boy home.


His doctor will call me tomorrow morning with his blood panel & urinalysis results.


Please keep your thoughts, prayers & positive vibes coming.
It's times like this when I realize how important TCS is to us.
Thank you everyone for responding so quickly...

I'll keep you updated.

Dexter! Don't scare your meowmy like that!

I hope that Dexter's test results show nothing tomorrow! Let us know how he's doing when he gets home...

I am supposed to call the hosp at noon PDT to see when I can pick up Dexter.
Sadie continues to pace and meow.
They are litter mates and are never apart.
I have never seen anything like her behavior right now.
She is frantic.

Poor Sadie


I'm glad your vet was able to check on Dexter so quickly and get back to you with the results right away.
