Poor Harri. She looks very much like Rusty. Of course Rusty is a
a boy. Rusty said he will keep purring till Harri is all well and comes
home to her Paw Paw.

In case anyone hasn't read about it yet, Harri Roadcat is very ill.
Tuesday she was breathing very hard, so I took her to the vet. The vet
found that both of her lungs were partially collapsed and referred her to
a specialist 60 miles away. The specialist found a large amount of fluid
collecting in her chest cavity and a massive infection causing even more
fluid to form. He drained the fluid from her chest and implanted chest
tubes and put her on antibiotics.

Nancy and I went to visit her tonight. Her eyes were bright, her breathing
was normal, and she was purring all the time I petted her. She had been
refusing to eat, but that's because they were trying to feed her wet food.
We told her that she's used to dry food, and as soon as they put out dry
food Harri started chowing down.

I put a couple of pictures up on A.B.P.A. You can find the same 2 photos
and a few more on http://www.catfolks.net/photos. I made sure to not put
any really gross photos there. In the "GW" directory under there
(http://www.catfolks.net/photos/GW) are some photos that happen to show
her chest tube as well - if you're at all squeamish, you won't want to go
there.

The bottom line is that Harri certainly seems to be on the mend. Her chart
shows that between Thursday afternoon and this morning they had drained 93
cc of fluid out of her chest. Between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM when Nancy and I
left no more fluid had been drained - and it's an automated suction system
that drains continuously. We're sincerely hoping that Harri will be able
to come home in the first few days of next week.

All of you, thanks for your purrs and prayers and support.

Dan
