My kitten is at the vets for the day. Her runny eye never cleared up and now she's laying in the oxygen tank at the vets fighting for her life.
The vet thinks it might be FIP
He's going to draw some fluid off her lungs to test it.
You know I feel like I'm cursed, my newborn son died last year from lung disease too.
I am sorry to hear about Ginger's condition, hopefully it's not FIP and if it is I am sure she will be in the best of care while she's with you and your family.
Wishing Ginger a speedy recovery and you and your family lots of strength
Paula, you have my heart during this time, and my prayers. My son would have been 31 years old this month. Your son that you have been blessed with, understands death far better than you give him credit for. But don't jump the gun here, the kitten may survive. Just take it one day at a time and remember to breathe and think good thoughts-
Sad news for my little girl, the vets took about 2 tablespoons of bacteria & pus filled fluid from her lungs today. I've worked so hard for her and have just got her weaned a week ago.
She's on antibiotics and is staying at the vets until further notice.
Please pray for her.
Dushka had severe pneumonia and masses of fluid in her lungs when I found her as a tiny kitten and the vet gave her a 20% chance. But she pulled through after around three weeks on antibiotics and syringe feeding, so there is always hope. Good vibes coming your way.
and apart from the shaved bits either side of her ribs she looks 100% better. Honestly yesterday I thought she was a gonner, she just collapsed in my arms gasping for air.
She's on 2 types of antibiotics, one oral, on injected and in the oxygen box. She should be able to come home 2moro but will still have to go in everyday for her shots and a check.
She looked so pleased
to see us this morning, smooching my face and then snuggling in for a game of playbiting (she's always soft).
She got quite upset when we put her back in the box.
She was only 660g when we took her in yesterday, this is underweight isn't it? It's her 2 month birthday 2moro
So happy for this news Paula! They really do have 9 lives dont they? I am praying that every day Ginger gets stronger and healthier and gets to come home soon.
