I think Spyder is sick again!

I have a vet appointment tomorrow afternoon for Spyder.

He is swallowing hard since about 10:00 last night and I thought it was a hairball because he was hacking earlier like he was trying to get rid of one and a little while later I found a little one so I assumed it was from him and that he had a bit stuck in his throat.

I gave him the hairball stuff a few times. But today he is still swallowing hard and making low coughing sounds. He is still eating but only a few bites at a time, it seems like swallowing may be painful for him because he does that same hard swallow when he eats.

I would appreciate any good vibes you can send his way.

Thanks!

Sending healing vibes. Please keep us updated on how Spyder is doing.

Thanks Yosemite, Susan and Sam!
He was scaring me a little while ago, had a coughing spell but it's quited down now. And he did eat just a bit more than his earlier meal. I can't wait to get him to the vet tomorrow!

Hope your cat will be okay. Keep us posted.

I hope Spyder is feeling better!! Please keep us posted!

Thanks Bugaboo1 and Luvmysphynx!

Just got home from the vet a little while ago. Spyder had a fever of 103 degrees and the vet says it's some kind of virus that is more in his throat than in his chest. The vet gave him antibiotic and a cough supressent which will also help his sore throat.

My brother was supposed to give me a ride to the vet but something came up and I had to walk him there in his carrier. Luckily it's only a 20 minute walk (each way) , but Spyder weighs 14 pounds...ugh! my arms will never be tha same!!

Thanks again for the good vibes everyone!!

Poor Spyder!, I'll send him lots of get well soon vibes!

Oh no...poor Spyder.
I am sending positive healing vibes.
Keep us updated please.

cats have a normal temperature of like 102 i believe, so your kittie having a 103 isnt as worrisome as a human having that kind of temerpature.

Hope your kitty feels better.

Keep us posted on how Spyder is doing, I hope all is well.

Get well soon, Spyder!

sending prayers for a swift and complete recovery!

Thanks Tracy, Lei, Slig, Rachael, Luvmysphynx, DazeeMazeeGraze, and dmcwlvssr.


Spyder certainly doesn't like his antibiotc! It's called Panmycin Aquadrops. I chose the liquid type over the pill form because it's usually easier to give them...not this time! He hates it! This stuff makes him drool excessively, so I hope he's keeping enough down to do some good. And what's worse is he has to have 3 doses a day, I'll have to figure out how to keep more in him than out!
