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!

Oh, poor little girl! Lots of purrs winging their way across the
Atlantic for Harri and for you and Nancy. This must be so worrying.

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.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry, but glad to hear she will be ok. Many purrs
for a quick recovery and for your wallet too.
