Good vibes to you and Joey
...we all know how scarey it is when your babies are sick.


I'm hoping we get a good update soon.

Just checking in to see how Joey did overnight...I'm hoping no news is good news and sending out continued vibes for his improvement and much love and support to Helen who must be distraught over her poor boy.

Hi Guys
Joey is at our regular vet now and having fluids, when we picked him up he looked so much better, he still has a high fever, as of now it 103.9 down from 105 but not ideal yet. The emergency vet told us they are now unsure of the DIC diagnosis THANK GOD, because his blood did coagulate last night at midnight. They said they were concerned because he had an enlarged heart. Poor Joey in his paperwork it said he hissed and growled and they couldn't get him out of his cage at one point...Joey was a stray/feral cat and he's afraid of people except for My Dh and I and his caretaker, when we are out of town. It makes him so nervous he breathes heavy, and looks like he's in distress


So my VET looks at the x-rays and the blood work and she doesn't even seem concerned
She said his heart is not enlarged but his kidneys look enlarged. There is something going on but we just don't know what so he is having an ultrasound today(Hopefully if they can get the dr in that does them) So anyway I feel so much better than yesterday when the E-Vet basically said he wouldn't make it.
I have to take Lucia to the Vet today @ 3:30 hopefully by then Joey can come home with us and I can let you all know more; I don't think we are totally out of the woods yet, but I feel better about it all today after seeing my own vet. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts and prayers it HELPS and means SO much to me.

I am glad that you've got some information, although it does sound a bit confused
Fancy the E-vet saying he might not make it
I know they have to prepare you but ???
..............anyways.......
You'll feel better once you see your own vet
Hopefully Joey can come home today and be safe, warm and loved to bits with his moma & fur-family

I am really pleased to hear that he is in a better situation than he was last night. I have been thinking about him today, it's so awful when things like this happen. I hope the vet can sort it out soon and it's good that he is with the vet that he knows now so hopefully he won't be so frightened. Still sending loads of vibes to you both and hope that he continues to improve. Best wishes me and Al.

Oh Helen, this sounds much better.....
Hopefully this is something that can be treated easily....
Poor Joey, it makes me so sad that he is scared.... Especially when he has come so far with being semi-feral.... I always get sick thinking about LuckyGirl being scared.... you just wanna make it all ok for them, they have already been through so much, you don't want them to ever feel scared again...
Joey, it'll be ok baby.... hang in there!

Bella, please come down & comfort your brother....be there for him, he needs you so much!!!

yesterday to go to Joey and comfort him in his cage because he's so scared
It breaks my heart, he holds on to me like a frightened baby.


When I got home the other cats were all over me smelling my coat, so I put it on the floor and all 3 of them layed on it and sniffed like crazy, they miss him, Sev especially is lost without him.

I'm so glad Joey is so much better!
I know it was killing you to think he was scared...I don't take JinJin to the vet for checkups for that reason.


Continued vibes and prayers for your Joey!

Oh Helen, I am glad to hear that he seems to be doing better. It also makes me sad that he was so scared too, I hope you get to bring him home today, and I hope they find out what is wrong with him too.

Still sending hugs and prayers for you and Joey from Mississippi. Please let us know when you find out something.

Can you bring him something from home? Like a blanket or something that smells like home? That will probably help him.... they made me bring a towel from home when I got both of mine sp/nt....they said the smell of home helps calm them down a bit....
Joey....

He had a blanket with him, he PEED on it
He does have the pad from his carrier that smells like SEV.
