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!

Lots of healing purrs
from Elisabet and Hugo Katt Dan M skrev i meddelandet ... 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. |

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. |

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. Jeanne |

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.
