My Persian "Ginger" had a little blood in her stool a few days ago and I also notice she is not her self for a few days . I also felt between the ear and neck some swelling . Yesterday I also notice she was not eating and today , at least I have not see her eat and she may has I really don't know . So today while I was getting ready in the bathroom for today I also notice she was thinking about if she should go and use the toilet or not . So she was sitting right in front of it and thought on that for about 10 minute . Then she went in the box and pee just a little bit , not much at all .I also had to pull a tini little poop away from her bum area and it was very hard . Well we went to see the vet at 3:30 today . So now I found out that the swelling are her lymphnoids (sp) and not only on both sites they were swollen , they also were swollen a little lower by the leg area and also in the back legs area
For sure I was in shock about that and really absad . She also has a fever of a 104
. So the vet said she need to stay in the hospital at least overnight . I guess they want to see the stool and urin and also want to make sure she is eating . She was not dehytrated though . The vet said she would get a shot for the fever right away and they want to watch her how she is doing . OMG I wonder what could be wrong with my baby . Anybody has a clue what it may could be ???

Hedi,

I am sorry you and Ginger are apart right now, but she is in the best possible place to get help. The vet should have answers for you very soon.

I know you do, I would worry too. But the bottom line is you saw there was a problem and you did the right thing in bringing her to a professional right away. Let us know what they find out-

Oh Hedi ***hugs*** Sending good vibes that Ginger will be ok!!

Good on you for noticing a problem! With that many cats I can imagine it must be difficult to do.

Thank you Sicy . With so many cats it may take just a little longer to see a problem , but not much longer . I am usualy pretty good obsurving (sp) them every day and with so many you have to do that any way or you will lose controll very quickly .

Oh my gosh it must be hard knowing she's away from home, but like Hissy said you did the right thing. I'll be sure to pray for her tonight.
