Loving my beautiful baby girl
Oh, Lauren, sweetie, you know that I relate completely with your immense love for Ani and Sky and that Sierra is also my daughter, my everything! I'm so sorry precious Ani is not feeling well.
She is receiving the very best of care, and I know she will be completely well in no time at all. This must be so very painful for you for her to not feel well and to be away from her Mommy, and you must miss her so much right now!
You're so scared right now, and that's so natural for you to feel. You know just where I am, my friend. I am praying so hard for Ani!
Love and snuggles to you, Ani, and Sky, from Sierra and me!

Thank you all... You are all so wonderfully compassionate


It is 7 in the morning here. I have to wait until 9:30 to get information about my baby girl

I took something to help me fall asleep last night, or I just wouldn't be able to. I just wanted the night to end so I could talk to the vet today.
Of course, my head does go straight to all the "what if's?" but I am trying so desperately to stay in the moment. That is so hard to do
and it's really not working too well.

, thank you for saying all you did. That really touched me
.
I know all of you do truly understand what this feels like. Even if you never had to suffer these feelings, I know how difficult it is to even think about it

I remember before
Trent
was sick. I had my babies for over 6 years and I thought I would have them forever. I never allowed my head to go to those scary places. In my heart, I just know that my baby girl will be okay. She's so strong and she always was. She was never sick before. My poor baby

My stomach is in knots. This is just awful. The vet can't even tell me anything until Ani's doctor comes in. The lab reults won't be in until a couple of hours, so they just keep telling me the same thing. My heart hurts so badly right now.
Skylar is still taking his medication, and I have to be strong when I am around him. He's so sweet and I really am grateful he is here. I know it's possible that something was brought back from the shelter. It just angers me so much that the shelter people didn't tell me about Sky's repiratory infection before I brought him home. I asked themn over and over about his health. That was of utmost importance. I would have known to keep Ani and him completely seperated. I also would have made sure he had all his necessary meds before bringing him back. I had originally brought him to Trent's vet, and she didn't diagnose him correctly. That's why his infection came back. When I brought him to the other vet, he got everything he needed to get rid of the infection. I will never bring Sky or Ani to Trent's vet again.
My head is just all over the place with this. All I hope is that I could bring my girl home today. I miss her too much. Please let her be okay...

Oh, Lauren! I've been where you are now, waiting for a call from the vet. Just be as brave as you can be, especially for Skylar. Do some laundry, a little light housework, change the sheets on the bed - stay busy physically. You'll be surprised at how the time will pass a little bit more quickly.

I called the vets office a little while ago. I knew the results wouldn't be in yet, but I just needed to know something, anything. The receptionist told me that when she went to see Ani, Ani walked right up to her. She said she looks good and "up". I asked her if she "meowed", and Pat said "no". That was the first thing that really told me something was wrong the other day. Ani is such a vocal cat. She is always talking. I could sit here and guess what can be wrong with her, but it's all just a guess. I am thinking something is going on with her throat
It seems almost as if she lost her voice. The day before I brought Ani in, I noticed that her voice sounded hoarse. Then, there was no voice at all
Then, I watched her throughout the day and noticed all the other stuff that was going on. She obviously wasn't feeling well. She faced the wall a lot and was pretty withdrawn. Ani is far from withdrawn, so I knew for sure things were not right with my baby. The vet asked me if Ani had the tendency to swallow things off the floor.. (perhaps something that dropped). But, Ani never eats things aside from her food. I am doubting that it was something like that, but like I said, I can sit and guess all I want. I told Pat that I would be calling back at 9:30. That is when the results are supposed to be in, but I know from previous experience that it will probably take longer. I don't know how much more I can wait. If they're not in by 10:30, I am going over to the hospital. I'll sit and wait there, and I will be able to see my girl. Maybe she'll meow for me.

Oh I do feel for you. There is nothing worse than waiting. I can hardly bear it till I have to take Persil back tomorrow to see if her meds have taken. Meanwhile I just watch her every breath, wondering how she is feeling. It is so much worse if you cannot be there.

Even if Ani doesn't eat things off the floor, since Skylar is so young, he probably looks for small objects on the floor that he can play with. Maybe he found a small sewing needle or a straight pin, and the two cats started to play with it, when Ani accidently got it caught in her throat. It's just an idea, but if this is the case, it's something that the vet can easily deal with. Or maybe she just has a sore throat and badly inflammed vocal cords. Again, this is nothing serious, and something the vet can easily deal with.

I'm still sending healing vibes and prayers to Ani, and now I'm also sending prayers for strength to you. Please try to stay strong and positive, you will find out what's wrong very soon.

I just read this thread and my thoughts and prayers are going out to you for Ani. We will all hope and pray that this is something minor that will be fixed and be done with

How difficult this is for you, but know we are all pulling for you here.

Then I read about Persil being on meds. What did I miss? Is our little Persil not well either?

I just spoke to the vet and Ani is fine


All her blood work and tests came out PERFECT. She said it's an upper respiratory infection that she most likely caught from Skylar. Ani ate and held it down
. She meowed, still a bit hoarse, but she MEOWED
! I can pick her up today between 2 and 4
. She will be getting medication to take home and the vet says she is GOOD to come home


I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. You have all helped me through so much and I keep you very close to my heart.
Love to each and every one of you.. You have a heart full of gold

You must be sooo relieved. I am sure Ani is looking forward to coming home just as much as you are longing to hold her.
