I meant to post last night but was so tired.

I want to thank you both for replying. Cindy, thank you so much for
all the details, you're so kind to take the time and i appreciate it
and am grateful to you.

Grendel is so much better. The night i posted, i had such a bad
feeling and i was afraid to give her the antibiotic so i didn't.
Yesterday morning she seemed a little better and we got her into the
other vet yesterday afternoon, by which time she seemed even more
improved. He is so much more thorough than the vet we usually go to
and, as i mentioned before, i don't trust our regular vet anymore.

He said there are a lot of things that could be going on and i'm
afraid i am too tired to even remember it all. Basically, though,
after checking her over, he said she seemed well and didn't appear to
have any infections and that it was okay to stop giving her the
antibiotics. He said if she didn't seem fully well this morning to
bring her back.

Well, last night she was back to her old self. Meowing, trotting
around, purring and with the look in her face. She definitely has her
appetite back, as if she's trying to make up for all the time she
couldn't eat. This morning, she is her usual cuddly self and seems
happy and well.

Thank you again! 3

Hi Lump,

It is great to see you around again. I'm just sorry that it isn't
under better circumstances. I have been away for just under a week, so
only just read your post.
I'm delighted to hear that you took Cindy & Matthew's advice because
it is very good advice. We are also very pleased to her that you do
trust your current vet. this can be a very important factor when it
comes to allowing someone to treat your precious little Grendel. Go
with your gut feeling & follow his/ her advice. The more comfortable
you feel, the easier it is to talk to them about your hopes & fears.
They will understand how important this is to you, also once this is
achieved, you can trust them implicitly.

To hear that Grendel has got over this little Blip is excellent.
Please don't allow yourself to become too worried, simply because her
sister, Madeleine, had a similar experience. It is all too easy to
become convinced that you will go over old ground, because the
symptoms are somewhat similar. In 90% of cases, it might not be the
same thing at all.

Personally, I think you already knew what you needed to do, & you went
with your instinct's, which resulted in how well she seems today. Well
done )

Keep us posted with how things are going, when you have the time to if
you wouldn't mind of course? Also, thank you for sharing this news
about Grendel too.
Warm Regards,
Sheelagh "o"
