hoping Harriet is on the road to wellness by now, since you were able to use the same antibio without having to take Harriet in first... i mean it makes sense she has the same thing as the other two.

(((Beth and her three kitties)))

hattie and hazel were on different meds due to the severity of hatties illness, symptoms and fever. so he is using that same med for harriet who is no better so we are taking her in because we don't know when she ate last and is lethargic, but she is usually that wasy so it is hard to tell...we just want her checked out so she is going to the vet at 10 this morning.
thanks for the well wishes. hazel will take her last dose tonight and is so much better almost normal.
Hattie is soooo much better acting more like herself rubbing up wanting to play but still has a terrible cough.
and I already told you about harriet.

oh dear!
 

well, i am glad you are taking her in. :o

it still made sense to anticipate the med - the earlier you catch the infection usually the better. perhaps she is just taking more time to respond. the vet may give her a shot to build up her antibiotic level sometimes they do that usually the first dose but...

if thinks she is not responding at all i wonder if they can do a culture to check for resistance. i don't know if they do that with cats as they do with people. :o keep us posted.

glad the other two are shaping up. :)

sending you more kitty-healing wishes...

thank you waves.
she is an older cat 13 I think...and is always sleeping alot so can't tell if the lethargy is her normal....she had 104.1 temp yesterday, will see what it is today. the shots that the vet have given the 2 other cats were steroid shots....she may get some fluids????Jeff just took her in.

OUR cats are our family.

i know what you mean Beth, our cats were family too.

Family!
 

Bizi,
I hope that Harriet does just as well as your two other babies. I know what you mean when you say they are family! I do not have any children of my own so all of that mothering and worrying went into my dogs. I have been blessed, none of them have ever really been sick. I cannot imagine what you are going through with all three of your babies. I wish you and your feline family the very best.:hug:

just got home,
all 3 cats are sleeping
I know that the vet did give harriet some subcutanious fluids...said that she was dehydrated.
but he did not keep her.
so that is good.
heading to the gym

hey
 

how are the kitties doing today?

I just got home....
all three cats are doing better!
thank you for the well wishes and for asking.
:)

I'm so glad they are all three doing better. The fact that the
one was dehydrated makes sense. And if the liquids is all she ends
up needing that is going to be so great. Of course along with
her medication.

Sending hugs and all to the kitties. And no barkes from my dogs.
