Harry Roadcat update - it's looking grim
I finally got to talk to the vet about 45 minutes ago. Harri did survive
te night, and she is breathing more easily thanks to massive doses of antibiotics and steroids. However, the x-rays show that both of her lungs are partially collapsed. The vet has no idea what would have caused this, and he has done all he can for her. He has referred us to a specialist in Orange County. I was out in Orange County when he called me, so I'm going to be putting in a lot of miles today (it's about a 3 hour round trip). I stopped at home just long enough for a bathroom break and to update everyone. As soon as I hit the "Send" button I'll be hopping in the car, going to pick up Nancy at work, and picking up Harri at the vet and making a high-speed run to Orange County. I'm glad Nancy is coming, since I'm going to want to hold Harri and I got no sleep last night so my reaction time is kind of slow. After the specialist looks at Harri's x-rays and lab results he should be able to tell us if Harri has a reasonable chance to survive. For the rest of today your purrs and prayers would be more welcome than ever before. With a little luck, by 3:30 or 4:00 Pacific time I'll be learning if my little sweet baby will live or die. In addition to purrs for Harri's health, we could also use financial purrs. That Nancy's idiot boss will release her to her new job (that pays 30% more than her current one), that I'll find a job, that the insurance company will pay off on my totaled pickup quickly, and that the specialist will take payments.

I'm so sorry, Dan. What terrible news about your sweet roadcat. We will be purring for the specialist to be able to save her, and for your economy. Wish I could do more to help. -- Marina, Frank and Miranda.

We will continue to send purrs for little Harri as well as you and Nancy
in your job searches and although you might not hear from me I'll be thinking of you and Nancy and your entire furry family (we're heading to Wisconsin tonight). I wish there was some way we could help out with the vet bills but Hobbes is running up his own bills, however, we have more than enough purrs for both your family, mine, Ginger-lynn, Jean, Tweed and everyone else that needs them right now, so soak them up as you need them.

Dan Continued purrs for poor little Harri. I just can't get over how fast this came on. Also purrs for you and Nancy for the job situation and everything else. I wish I could afford to help with the vet bills. Jill |
