Late the other night I switched laundry (which I always check before I run due to crazy Bengals). I closed the washer door out of habit, did NOT start it, and started the dryer. My girlfriend is allergic to the cats so I don't let them in my room. Fire (the boy cat) was crying in a weird way, but I passed out just thinking he wanted in the room (which often happens). In the morning he was crying and being over loving, I came upstairs and noticed there was no Snow (girl cat). I ran around and then found her in the washer. She was on the edge of consciousness, lying pitifully (I was so freaked out that she was dead) in her own feces and urine. I pulled her out and she was very weak, and shaking, but ALIVE! I wiped her off and wrapped her up, I guessed she was in shock and seemed hypothermic. Fire was freaked out and hissing at her and now me. I rushed her to the Vet and they diagnosed her with just that, shock and hypothermia. Her temp should be 101, and she was 93.3. They gave her a cortisone shot for the shock and told me she would be fine, and to continue to keep her wrapped up and warm her up. I was able to get her to drink and eat a little. She was more herself when we went to the vet. Before that she was shaky and wobbled with walking. As the day (yesterday) progressed she recovered very well, and is back to herself today. The problem now is that Fire hisses at her and attacks her as she gets close. This is driving her crazy because she wants to go back to their previous loving playful, cuddly relationship, and she keeps approaching him. The vet said to keep them separate for a couple of days and to call Monday if there is no change. He also said something about a Pheromone something or other...not sure what he was referring to?
My question is; What should I do?!?!
Fire seems fine then smells her and hisses. Should I was her, and would that work without the right shampoo?
Should I keep them seperate or let them figure it out while I'm around?
This has been horifying , and I'm afraid I've ruined my perfect cats! Please help!
