Oh, no, dis iz horryble nooz! I duznt know whut to do! Unka Dan, will yoo
giv deze flowerz to Harri fur me... dat iz, if yoo dont fingk dey will bodder her breathin... Sundance, who will be nervously pacing until there is more news "Dan M" wrote in message ... A few days ago I noticed Harri doing some coughing. She stopped after a minute or so and it didn't repeat. Yesterday she had another coughing fit, and that concerned me. She has also been a little bit listless and lethargic. When I got back from my doctor appointment this afternoon I saw that Harri has breathing very heavily, and she hadn't been doing anything strenuous. By this time it was getting near 4 PM, and her usual vet is over an hour's drive away at this time of day. I did some quick research and located a vet in nearby Redlands, and remembered that I have heard good things about that vet. I had the feeling that Harri needed to see the vet immediately, and that waiting until tomorrow might not be a good idea. I loaded Harri into the carrier and we made the fastest trip to Redlands we've ever done. The vet looked her over and found that she has a very high temperature. When he listened to her breathing he found that she at least has a very advanced case of pneumonia, and might have a collapsed lung. He did mention that if I had waited til tomorrow, I probably would have had a dead kitty. The vet is reasonably sure that Harri will survive. She's spending the night at the vet, getting IV fluids, antibiotics, and steroids. She's also getting a lot of blood work done, and is getting some x-rays taken. I'll find out about 10:00 AM tomorrow what the lab work shows. The vet's assistant went over the vet's treatment plan before I left. Turns out that Harri's treatment ought to cost almost exactly the amount of my short-term disability checks for the last two weeks Anyhow, purrs for Harri's recovery would be greatly appreciated. |

... Dan, we still have a little bit of money leftover from Tweed's flowers, I'm sure folks wouldn't mind donating it for Harri's vet bill. I'd be happy to add some to it. Anybody else? Oh, yes, count me in! Someone let me know how/where to send it! Sandy |

Oh dear, Dan!! Extra supply of purrs and prayers for Mister Harri Roadcat.
I do SO hope he'll be just fine and up to snuff quite soon. I am very glad you had the intuition to make the vet run today!!! I just made a rather large purchase and will be suffering for it a bit, so I'm just relying on cheap sammiches for dinner for a wee bit. Care to join me?? Do ya like BLTs??? We can share a sammich and watch Harri get well again!! {{{Dan & Harri}}}!! Recovery purrs are greatly appreciated! Tonight we're doing our version of economy food - a box of macaroni and cheese (about $.70) with some grated real cheddar and a can of tuna. |

Many purrs for a quick recovery and for your wallet too. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |
