Monster purrs going to Harri for her swift recovery - thank goodness her
Paw is so careful of her health - many would have discounted coughing
and listlessness as something that will pass off, Harri has a
first-class catslave!

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.

Many purrs and prayers for a quick and full recovery.

Many, many purrs and good vibes heading across the cyberaether for Harri to
come through this soon, with a complete recovery and a smaller than expected
vet bill.

Mega purrs for Harri to pull through. What a horrible experience.

A house is not a home, without a cat.

I'd love to help, but money here is a bit tight - DH, who took a job with a
new company last September, only gets paid the *last Wednesday* of every
month. Months that have 5 weeks, like this one, get kinda tight toward the
end. Eight more days and I can pay bills. What money we do have is
earmarked for DH's lunches, gas for vehicles (not sure about DH's vehicle,
but mine has less than 1/8 tank - but it's got a "floater" and can get way
below empty before I run on fumes). Eight more days and I can pay bills
(thankfully, most are not due until *after* a week from tomorrow).

I can't imagine what it would be like getting paid only once a month. With
my relativelypoor financial discipline I would never make it! But purrs
and prayers are needed now more than anything else.

Fabulous Furballs going into full purring mode for Harri Roadcat!

Don't worry too much about *that*, Dan, I'm sure most of us who can
will contribute to Harri's care. Put me on the list and will send as
much as possible ASAP.

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

Absolutely, positively. We're really upset to hear of her illness
and send super-purrs and doggy-wags for her complete recovery. Hugs
and purrs for you and Nancy as well.

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.


Absolutely! if you need more, just ask. We're here for you.
