Hi all. I just thought I would actually take the time to introduce myself. My real name is Kristina and I'm 24 I just adopted a cat that was originally named Tosser but I didn't like that name so I changed it to Ace. He is 11 months old. He has been checked for FeLV and FLV and he was neutered and has all his vaccinations including Rabbies. He is sick right now. I have had to take him to the vet twice, the first time was to see why he was sneezing all the time...the second time was because he started sneezing up blood and coughing a lot. That time they tested his blood and fecal matter. His white blood cells were elevated because he has a URI (Upper Respiratory Infection). Also in his fecal matter they found tapeworms. They put him on L-Lysine for boosting his immune system. Antihistamines just in case it's allergies that could be causing his sneezing and stuff. Some medication to get rid of the tapeworms and the antibiotic he's been on since the first time he went to the vet. He seems to be doing quite a bit better since he's been on the antibiotic for multiple days and the other medication he's been on. Please pray my kitty gets totally better and that I don't end up getting tapeworms from him. I am really mad that I got him Wednesday December 11th, 2013 and he was sick the very same or next day. I have had to spend quite a bit of money on him and I wish Petsmart or HALO would pay for it instead of me. I take him to Banfield. Figured it would be cheaper than going to a regular vet since they have Wellness Plans you can get for your pet (which I did get for him). I am so happy to be a part of these forums and to have a cat again. I haven't had a cat since I was 10, her name was Sassy and she was unfortunately hit by a car. I unfortunately saw her poor lifeless body on the side of the street. I still can't get that horrible picture out of my mind I will never forget that. The thought of losing my new cat Ace to something is scary to me. I don't want that to happen to me again. But thankfully I think he will be okay.
