This afternoon Mom and I took "Suki" to the Vets. She developed a terrible sneeze and I thought we should take her immediately before it got worse. I figured she picked up a respiratory infection while at the shelter. Her temp was 104.4, which is high for a kitty but her lungs were clear and heart and ears good. No runny nose or eyes. So they gave her an injection for a 10 day antibiotic and gave her some fluid via IV to get her temp down. She purred through the entire thing. She is really a super sweet cat!! We forgot to get her nails clipped but will do that when she goes back to get her rabies shot. In the photo she has cat nip all over herself, she rolled and purred and chattered. The cardboard long thingie is for sharpening her claws, which she loves, instead of the carpet. Her eyes are so pretty.
Madison went to her Dr's appointment and found out she had strep. She is on an antibiotic also, but for the first time tablets instead of liquid!! Growing up!! She slept for 3 hours this afternoon and woke up not feeling very well for the first 45 min, but then rallied!
I'm hoping to catch you all up on what's been going on around here, mom, Chevy, Barney, my surgeries...etc...Am so glad to have you 4 back!!
Well, I'm so glad to have "you" back! Hope Suki gets well soon, and so glad to hear Madison is on the mend as well. Speaking of Chevy, do you still enter him in the dog shows?
ReplyDeleteSuki is so beautiful and sweet, I can almost hear her purring from here! Her eyes truly are gorgeous, too. Good choice, and I hope the illness goes away quickly for Suki and for Madison. That's no fun. I know!!
ReplyDeleteHad my ultrasound last night. VERY painful. Results Monday. Lou is away in PA....on my own at his house with MS G. All is well, and I am resting as told! LOL
Glad Madison is on the mend! Strep throat can really put you out. Good that Suki is doing well too. She will be so much company for your mom.
