Whew, that's a relief! I was very scared there for a moment.

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


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?


Definitely! Dan, if you'll post your vet's name and phone number we could
call in credit card payments (I've done so a number of times and there was
never a problem). Ten or twenty bucks is about the cost of just one

lunch -
but when twenty or thirty people contribute just that much it adds up

quite
quickly and can help someone out of a bad spot.

Hugs,

CatNipped


I will call in a donation.

You can use Paypal and send your donation to me. The email address is
listed on my signature, just remove the LITTER BOX... If you don't
trust Paypal, email me privately and I'll email you my address so you can
send me a regular check. Also, if Dan gives us the phone number of his
vet, we could simply call in with our donations.



I am sending a $25. check via US mail today, attention of Dr. Burch. You
may tell them to count on it. Hope it helps Harri a little. Purrs for
her wellbeing. MLB

Anyhow, purrs for Harri's recovery would be greatly appreciated.


Dan,

I am sending a $50.00 donation (credit card via telephone confirmation) for
Harri. You mentioned that you could not use Harri's regular vet, so I sent
email to you to confirm that Harri was not being moved to another facility
but haven't received a response. That's really not surprising because you
probably have your hands too full right now to worry about email, so I'll
use the phone number you provided in another message. All of us are wishing
for very good news about Harri.

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.

Purrs are on their way - for Harri and for you. I'm sorry to hear that her
treatment is so expensive, but it's obvious you have your priorities in the
right place.

Thanks, Victor. I found the info in a post, called the vet directly, and
made a contribution. Tomorrow I'll call the specialist as well.
