Purrs for Sammy Please!
I'm so sick about this - I can't stop kicking myself, I should have caught
this *SO* much sooner! I saw that Sammy had thrown up a prodigious amount in the garage when I woke up this morning. As has been said in other posts, Sammy has been living under my bed for almost 5 weeks now. When I tried getting her out from under the bed (by moving it!!) I saw that not only had she thrown up in a number of other spots, but there was liquid feces spotted about on the carpet. I thought it might be a combination of impacted anal glands (which she's had once before) and hairballs since she has been shedding so much lately. We just got back from the vet and it's not impacted anal glands, she has diarrhea. Her coat is dull and hair is just falling off in clumps, she had lost .5* pounds from only 15 days ago (the last time she saw the vet), she's a bit dehydrated, and she is running a temperature of 102.4F! The vet took a fecal sample (and shaved her butt to remove all the feces) and didn't see anything. She said all of those symptoms could be caused by stress. I can't believe that I did not catch this sooner! *This is *WAY* too much weight for a cat to lose in such a short time. Please send some purrs Sammy's way, she needs them with such a horrible, neglectful mommy! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

Get-well-quick purrs for Sammy on the way. And for her Mama too, to stop
kicking her own butt and just be there to love and help heal her little baby.

Purrs for Sammy, and for you. You've beat yourself up enough.
BTW, 102.4 isn't *that* high a fever for a cat. I think their normal is 101.5, IIRC. It's still of concern, but not as much as that temp would be in a human. -- Joy Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this. "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

Purrs for Sammy Please! - Mini Update
Well, like with Bandit, I can tell Sammy's feeling better - she bit me and
made me bleed! ; If nothing else, getting all that dried feces off her butt has got to have made her feel somewhat better (we all know how fastidious cats are and it was *WAY* too much for her to clean off herself). As an added security blanket, I brought in a litterbox from the garage and closed my bedroom door - that leave a door, stairs, great room, a hall, and another closed door between her and Tayla - so she's out from under the bed now. Thank you so much, and please keep any spare purrs coming our way. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

Many purrs for poor Sammy to realise that she's safe now and to feel better... if anything, this confirms that you made the right choice to give Tayla back to the shelter - you weren't just imagining that Sammy was stressing out, she was getting physically ill from it. |
