maybe she just needs purrs

thanks for all the purrs. we just got back from the vet. they sedated
her to check her mouth, took some blood, and cleaned her teeth since she
was already sedated, though the vet said her teeth only had a little
tartar, not enough to make her stop eating.

there's nothing much wrong with her, except her tonsils are a bit red
and there are some small lesions in her soft palate. her white
bloodcells are a bit low. apparently a virus. they took samples to test
for herpes and calici virus, but the vet thought it may be any other
virus and she should be fine inside a week. i got a course of roferon to
give her.

all her other tests showed she is in excellent condition and is getting
all the nutrients she needs from her diet of raw meat. *smile*

poor mir-mir is staggering around like a drunk. so undignified. caliban
is terrified of her - or the vet smell off her.

That's a relief. I'm very glad to hear that. We'll continue our purrs for
poor Mir.

they seem to not want ot be near each other.

I'm relieved it's only a virus, purrs for Mir to fully recover asap.

Tons of purrs and prayers going Mir's way. We
hope she perks up soon and starts eating again.

mir has not been eating properly these last few days. it's not uncommon
for her. she doesn't care much for food at best, so it's hard to tell if
she's really off her food or just being her usual not-interested-in-food
self. i'm going to ring the vet today, maybe i can get an appointment.

i've given her nutro-plus gel, which she always laps up enthusiastically.
she's also had some yogurt. it might be something with her teeth, though
she hasn't had a problem with them before.

Jake has offered to share one of his nice big freshly minced prawns if that
would pique Miranda's appetite.

And he doesn't share them with just anyone.

Glad to hear she is OK! I must have missed your earlier post before,
because I only saw the responses to it today. That's better for me,
because I don't have to wait in suspense, wondering what could be wrong
with her. Everett sends belated loud-kitten purrs for Mir to feel
better soon! (The others chime in, too, of course - but you should
hear him go when he's really cuddly.)

LOL. Or he's just weirded out by her odd behavior. As Theresa said,
what a wuss!

Just read the thread. I guess mir has a sore throat, poor girl. Hope the
rest of the tests come out good ans she is fine in a day or so.
