You're still alive, yes?

Vet report just in: Progress Is Happening... Oh the relief...

His fever has broken, temperature returning to normal. Won't eat yet so they will try an appetite stimulant tomorrow (but his mouth may still be too sore from the ulcers on his tongue, due to a viral invasion). His breathing is somewhat better though far from fully recovered, very snuffly still, so he remains on the antibiotics. It's now Tuesday 5pm here and hopefully (they said) he will be well enough to come home on Saturday, if he starts eating and drinking again by then and continues to recover.

He has been rehydrated now, and that will make him feel so much better than he was.

Much as I would love to have him here with me, for emotional reasons, he is much safer in care until he is further along the road to recovery. It must seem very strange to him, to be in a box in a room of strangers, who put needles into him. Apparently he just sits quietly in the cage and doesn't move much at all though he doesn't seem to be distressed. (Knowing that he is very terrified of all strangers he probably is, he goes into static mode when he is frightened). Overall good news because he is alive :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))), he is better than yesterday, he is in safe hands.

Now your feelings can be much more those of relief and hope and may that hope be rewarded on Saturday!

Oh thank goodness, I'm so glad kitty is showing signs of improvement (though nowhere near as glad as you are, I'm sure). I'll continue to send healing thoughts and well wishes, and I hope your little buddy does get to come home on Saturday.

Typos don't matter, the kindness does, and thank you. Today the IV in four legs leg has been removed to see if he will drink water voluntarily, but his mouth is still afflicted by painful ulcers on his tongue. It's a trial, IV can be reinserted if necessary. He hasn't voluntarily drunk water for many days now. But there is some overall progress, slight though it is.

I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the support from various posters, and they have been a sustaining me through these trying days.

I'm not familiar with the whole story, but I'm glad Kitty is doing better now. Let's hope he continues to make good progress.

Sadly our dog Timmy earlier this year died after a short illness. He was nine and we all miss him, especially the children. Pets really grow and become a part of the family. I want to get them a new dog maybe next year.

As for how I am feeling, I'd give it a +7 today. I've been busy, thinking and working hard to support my family. This year has been busy.

Hi,

I was referring to B19's pet cat, Kitty. I didn't know there was a member here with that name, no offence intended.

Hope he’ll drink
Glad you’ll able to afford treatment.
Can they treat the ulcers?

Sorry about that. My bad.

I really hope the vets make B19's cat comfortable.
