I was very scared there for a moment. 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 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? Definitely! Dan, if you'll post your vet's name and phone number we could call in credit card payments (I've done so a number of times and there was never a problem). Ten or twenty bucks is about the cost of just one lunch - but when twenty or thirty people contribute just that much it adds up quite quickly and can help someone out of a bad spot. Hugs, CatNipped I will call in a donation. |

Also, if Dan gives us the phone number of his vet, we could simply call in with our donations. I am sending a $25. check via US mail today, attention of Dr. Burch. You may tell them to count on it. Hope it helps Harri a little. Purrs for her wellbeing. MLB |

"Dan M" wrote in message ... Anyhow, purrs for Harri's recovery would be greatly appreciated. Dan, I am sending a $50.00 donation (credit card via telephone confirmation) for Harri. You mentioned that you could not use Harri's regular vet, so I sent email to you to confirm that Harri was not being moved to another facility but haven't received a response. That's really not surprising because you probably have your hands too full right now to worry about email, so I'll use the phone number you provided in another message. All of us are wishing for very good news about Harri. MaryL |

Purrs for you , Nancy and Harri.

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. |

Purrs are on their way - for Harri and for you. I'm sorry to hear that her
treatment is so expensive, but it's obvious you have your priorities in the right place. Joy "Dan M" wrote in message ... A few days ago I noticed Harri doing some coughing.

Tomorrow I'll call the specialist as well. Sandy |
