Here's hoping Precious feels better soon.
Poor baby- has to go to the vet right after coming home from a long absence. Welcome back Precious.

Precious and I just got back from her re-check a while ago.

The vet said "yes, her breathing is still labored because all of her lungs are still not working". He said pneumonia like this is one of the hardest things to get past and often takes a good three months to get over it.
He was going to send some Lysine home with me, but I told him I have plenty of that on hand. I had actually given her a dose last night thinking that even if it didn't help, it sure couldn't hurt so we're on the right track.


She has to go back Thursday to be checked again. I sure hope my little girl can hurry and get back on the "all well" list.

I told him I am giving her Lactaid milk and canned food to keep her hydrated since she doesn't seem to want to drink water and he thinks that's fine.

She just lay down and twisted her head so I can rub her ears and under her chin which tells me she's feeling a bit better at the moment.


This little girl has pretty much become the focal point of my life since coming home. We shall just continue doing what we must to get her all better.


I'll update again Thursday if not before.

I'm a little slow getting to this, but there was a while that her breathing had me a little concerned.

My Precious seems to be pretty okey-doke now. She is coming upstairs more now, playing with toys, looking out the windows and often at the door, hoping I will let her out. I've told her she made herself an indoor kitty till I can get an enclosure built.


Here's a couple pics of my little girl. Oh, she has turned into a real porker, (NOT!). Actually without the freedom to go out and run she is heavier than I've ever seen her. She used to always run about 6-1/2 lbs. and as of last night she weighs 8 lb. 1 oz.. She was 6 lbs. 1 oz. at that last check at the vet so she has gained 2 lbs. since coming home.
I still don't think her fur is quite up to par, but it's better than it was.



My Prescious is doing well!


ETA: OOPS! I forgot to add them.

I don't see any pics! I'm so glad she's feeling better.
