Re: Bluebell is poorly


Went back to the vets at 5.20pm. blood results were better, the (can't remember) was a better reading & that's the one that shows damaged tissue / cells are being repaired, this was a better reading indicating that there has been some healing going on, which again points to a trauma. He drained her bladder & it was a lovely healthy colour, no blood. When he drained it on Saturday it was dark red/brown (gross!) so I am chuffed that her urine is normal. All the other blood results were ok, just her RBC count was a little high, but better than before. She still isn't eating & was slightly deydrated, but has had no IV fluids today & I haven't been giving her fluids via syringe, only food (which is mainly water) So I will ensure she has lectade often too. Back again tomorrow. I just wish she would do a wee! Vet was concerned incase there is some bladder paralysis, but I hope not.

Our other 3 cats are not eating that well & Lilly is definately not right at all. Can't cope with more poorly people or animals, but have to take Lilly tomorrow too.

Dad was much better when I first arrived today, but then had an episode of breathing problems & pain again, so not sure what is going on.

So to sum up, it's ups and downs all the time really, one minute you feel things are good, then not so good.

Thanks again for your good wishes. x

Re: Bluebell is poorly


I'm pleased to hear there's been some improvement with Bluebell and am keeping my fingers crossed it continues...

It's worrying that your other cats are under the weather too, I hope it's nothing serious.. ....... please let us know how Lilly gets on tomorrow at the vets...

More healing vibes being sent to your Dad, I hope the docs can pinpoint the problem soon.

Stay strong Kelly.... (((hugs)))

Re: Bluebell is poorly


I am so pleased to hear that there has been some improvement in Bluebells condition, and wishing her a speedy recovery.

Hope that there is nothing wrong with your other 3 cats, hopefully it is just a case of they can sense your upset and are feeling abit of your stress.

Wishing your dad lots of good health vibes and hope he feels alot better soon Xxx.

Re: Bluebell is poorly


Bluebell's signs sound better, encouraging; and I agree your stress may be rubbing off on the others...they are so good at sensing moods. Do let us know how TL is tomorrow, hope she's OK. And still sending healing vibes for your Dad.....(((hugs)))

Just lots of xxxs and ((hugs))
It'll work out somehow - it always does.
It's amazing what we (all of us, humans, animals) can survive.
Take care

Re: Bluebell is poorly


Bluebell is continuing to improve, slowly.

Dad is home from hospital today, although very weak & still unwell.

Tiger Lilly Pumpnin had a herniated rupture near her spay site, which is why she was off-colour & not eating. She had to have a big operation yesterday to repair it. Her wound is huge, she is ripping at her stitches at every chance so is wearing an elizabethan collar.

Got a call from school yesterday to collect Ashleigh as she was unwell & had to go to the doctors with her.

Had news a few days ago that a family friend has just passed away, so are awaiting news of the funeral.

Not been a good few days.
