OMG,What else can go wrong?
Lilly the birman is feeling somewhat better, but unfortunately she
came home with a dose of the flu. Even though every single one of our cats is inoculated against cat flu, they seem to be dropping like flies( Lilly is on antibiotics, & I have an appointment to take Belle, the mother of our 4 tiny kittens to see our new practice this afternoon @5.40 GMT. One of the kittens is coughing, but we are at our Witt's and as to how to isolate a kitten that is so young (1week and 4days old!!). Mother only seems to be sneezing presently, & we have had her isolated from the other cats since the day Lilly got home, just in case this might happen. Biffy the big fat blue Birman seems to be affected the worst, & he is also isolated too, but it looks rather like he might have already passed it on to Tazzy, our seal point Ragdoll, who's pen is along side biffy's. I am taking both Belle, the mother of kittens & her baby's later, as well as Biffy & also Taz as well;thankfully so far Tiggy is unaffected and also in isolation. Ringo shows no sign of it at all, & neither does Lucy(fur!), but we are running out of places to isolate them all. More news update later... S. |

S. lucy and Ringo are hardy street urchins who have probably built a strong immune system from living on the streets all those years and fending for themselves, that is prob why they have not been afflicted. The Cromwell agree with you. apparently there is a terrible new strain that gas evolved & has never seen before in a village not too far away from us, called Stilton. The vet asked if we know anyone from there who might have cats there, but the answer to that one is no! It would appear that this strain is travelling then, More's the pity!! I keep wondering whether it could possibly have been picked up by Lilly when she was admitted to the previous surgery? None of them had it prior to that, but now have it since she returned home. It would be logical conclusion that Lilly picked it whilst her immune system was low, then bandied it about after she got home... It is terrible unfortunate, but there we have it. apart from that how is Lilly doing? any more pictures? i checked out the rcvs site yesterday and it' scode of professional conduct makes interesting reading. basically your old vet is in serious breach of several of their rules and they do have a complaints procedure you can follow, I seriously urge you to talk to them as soon as you can when you have got over this latest crisis. have a look at the website pleasewww.rcvs.org.uk Lilly is a *little better*, but considering the results of the bloods that were done by the cromwell,lilly had( bronchopneumonia/ bronchosetica? & treated for felinecalivirus- probably infected because of her constantly licking her rear end when she had pyometra. They tell me that we are in fact very lucky to have Lilly still, & I think that I agree with them. They have complied a report to sent to the Royal College Of Veterinary Surgeons when we are ready to deal with the matter. I would like to do it straight away, purely because I feel that Lilly was left in a state that required 24/7 nursing. And if that surgery were unable to cater for these needs, then the simple courtesy of a single call, would have given us the choice as to whether to move her to a facility that had this care, or leave her where she was. It strikes me that some of our readers feel that this was a prime concern to me, but that it not the case at all I assure you. I have the most unfortunate habit of blowing up when I am angry about something, then thinking about it later, which is not one of my better qualities, to my shame.... On reflection, perhaps I was a little hasty in throwing accusations, however, I only stated what I felt because of the condition I found her in, not to mention of course the fact that Paul spent an entire night camped outside the surgery, in an attempt to gain access to our cat, so that we could participate in her care. I was more than disappointed, & unfortunately, I tried to make light of a terrible situation that I think that might have made some people have taken offense. If this is the case, then I am sorry If anyone took it that way too. It was the only coping mechanism that I was able to use to make light of the fact that In reality, I sat here balling my eyes out. You didn't need to hear that, so I tried to make light of a terrible situation When I posted *Help my cat is in a dire situation, & can anyone tell me how the law stands regarding her rights and care* ....all I really wanted to know wanted to know was what my rights were regarding Lilly's welfare, but more to the point, but more to the point what were Lilly's rights regarding her predicament? Thank you very much indeed for the link too. I intend to read it as soon as I have finish posting this for you. *I must stress that I am not doing this to gain compensation*. I intend to follow it up because **I never want another single person to go through what we did or feel like we did**(helpless with no laws to state that our cat had a right to prime care), or their cat either;compensation is irrelevant! Never allowing the situation to ever happen to again to any other cat owner is my prime concern & this will be detailed in intricate detail when I make my report. I am sorry if some people took offense to my fiery temperament- It was certainly never intended to cause offense to any other individual. I regret not sitting down & thinking about what I was asking before calling out for help in a state of distress... But that was all it was, A cry for help when feeling down, alone & frightened for Lilly's welfare & whether she would make it through the illness that was allowed to go on for so long, *Needlessly*( fingers crossed you sort out this latest drama, poor little angels, purrs from Jessie who is sending them from the radiator hammock bed she has finally decided to use. bookie- - thank you bookie. The last week has been one of the unhappiest weeks of my life. I can't think of anything worse than discovering all of your feline family are sick & not knowing how to go about ensuring that they all pull through it. It is all the worse knowing that every single one of them has already been injected for cat flu already. I can't help feeling utterly helpless!! As you know, this litter of kittens that Belle had was intended to be her last litter, so as I am certain that you can appreciate, they meant all the more to us all. I did so want to enjoy them, fuss them & make the most of the fact that they were our last litter.. To find out that they too are now affected by this calicivirus, or at least a new mutation of it, is horrific. It is hard enough to accept that your oldest companion who is reaching the end of their days, but to think that a tiny little defenseless Kittie has contracted it too, is absolutely devastating. I took Biffy, our big fat Blue point birman who is Lilly's mate down to the Cromwell with me as well as Belle & her kittens with me too, to be checked out. Once Belle had been looked @, it was decided that they felt it was best not to treat her because she is showing no outward signs of infection, other than constant sneezing, & one of her kittens as well. I have been advised to keep an eye on her (Kittie's), & to make sure that she is feeding. If she goes lame I am advised to rush her down there, if she is dehydrated or flagging , I must give her a bit of glucose solution, then try hand feeding her water until I can get her to the vet. If mummy starts showing signs of infection, then I must take her down to the vet in all haste & they will inject her, & it should pass on to their kittens via breast milk. But they would rather not treat her unless there is an absolute need to. Biffy is in a bit of a mess. He is no where near as bad as Lilly was when we brought her home. His eye's are infected so I have been using Chloramphemicol(forgive spelling if wrong?!). He has also been proscribed Marbocyl @20mg every day for the next 8days too. Lilly is a bit under the weather, but given the circumstances, it is hardly any surprise. She has stopped slobbering, but her eye's are still a bit weepy & she is feeling a bit antisocial as well. Getting her medication down her is not such hard work because her nose is still a bit stuffy, so she has no other choice but to swallow what I give her. Biffy has been fighting we silly , & it would seem those welding gloves need to come out again because he really knows how to get you one if he wants to...& he does want to , believe me!! I will try and take a few photos of Lilly tomorrow so that you can see that she is slightly improved. She has an appointment (Lilly), to be checked over tomorrow to make sure that her stitches are OK & that she is making the recovery that they would like to see too. Great to hear from you BTW, S;o) Purrs to you all from our mega purrers here to with thanks |

The point of makign a complaint as I said before and which I think you agree with is purely to make sure that this never happens again and to make an issue of it so that other animals do not suffer in the future. If i make a complaint and got some form of compensation in money i would simply give it to the local cat rescue anyway (after purchasing some bits and bobs for jessie first of course), I suspect that you would do the same. has anyone accused you of tryign to make money out of this situation? i do hope not, if so then just tell them what i have put above, which is the truth, and don't give them another thought, they are not worth it. good to see that the cromwell are going to back you up in your complaint to the rcvs, they do nto want someone sullying their their profession i am sure as this one vet's bad practise reflects badly on all. don't worry you are doing the right thing bookie |

OMG,What else can go wrong?
Sheelagh, what a lot to go through.
I know you'll take good care of everyone. Our kittens also got a respiratory infection when young, although they were weaned. Maybe it will help that yours are still nursing because they'll still be getting an immune system boost from mom. It is scary but I know you'll stay on top of it. Let us know how they're doing.

What a nightmare...but take heart...After Amanda (our then foster, now permanent cat) gave birth, she and all four of her kittens got upper respiratory tract infections. I had to dose each of them with antibiotics and eye drops several times a day. They weren't exactly cooperative either, Thank you. I do take heart from both this story and also Rhonda's too. At least I know that we are getting the best possible care that is available as well. The kittens are now 11days old, which I suppose is my greatest worry. I have had to hand rear a couple of kittens from day one, but both of them were top up fed as well as mummy's milk, without the complication of upper respiratory complications. I have bottles and also syringes to make sure that we can @ least ensure that they don't become dehydrated & make sure that they get glucose if they are flagging a little bit. I suppose the biggest worry is getting it wrong. it would be so easy to make a mistake and get it down the trachea rather than the right passage i need to get it down. I suppose I just need to follow my heart and have faith. It is the responsibility of it all that weighs me down...& why worry about something that has not happened yet too? Purrs are wonderfully soothing, thanks from all the puss cats sending them, including their slaves of course!! S;o) As a point of curiosity, has Lola phoned at all to check up on Lilly? Purrs for all of your kitties for a speedy recovery. Best regards, ---Cindy S. Funny that you should mention that Cindy, we haven't heard a word from them other than the bill of course and the remind to pay it in 14 days too S.x |

I suspect that as the number of cats increases geometrically, the number of things that can go wrong increases exponentially. Good luck with all of them. Charlie You are correct here I believe. we have 7 of them now that we have Ringo & Lucy (Fur!!) too Tazy seal point Rag, Belle blue point Rag, Biffy Blue point Birman, Lilly, seal point Birman Ring Star, ginger Tom cat& 7 ish years old & last but by no means least Lucy (Fur!!) female 2ish year old black female. Not including the 4 baby Ragdolls of course-Belle's Baby's. They were to be our last litter. We decided to give up breeding, so it made them all the more precious... I have a horrid feeling that we are going to loose one of them at least. One of them is coughing, but I have no intention of giving up on her just yet. We are just going through a very blue faze recently.. we have had plenty of good times, so it only makes sense that the bad times have caught up with us ~ It's all part of the fabric of life...It just doesn't make it any easier to like or live with it though... I haven't seen you around for a while so you might not know that Lilly was VERY sick last week and we nearly lost her. she had Pyometra & had to have her womb removed. It is no loss, & I am just so grateful that we still have her. Interesting to note that all of the vaccinations were all up to date, & the only ones that haven't been affected are the latest pair that we adopted from the community feeding bowl. http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/sheela...79303912969842 thanks for your regards too.. Purrs are always appreciated Charlie & nice to see you again S;o) |
