Caspurr's home just!


Ok just back from the Vet. Caspurr was lame on both his front elbows when she saw him this morning. She thinks it's a virus beginning with C. Sorry my head is spinning! The one Fran mentioned (spot on Fran) When she took a swab from his throat there was some bloody mucus. No mouth sores at the moment but I have to watch out for them. (in both Abi and Caspurr)She took 3 swabs and for the life of me I cant remember what they were for! I have to wait 7-10 days for the results to get back from Glasgow.

Caspurr's temp is down and Abi's is up. There both about the same at 39 1/2. I have AB's for both of them. I have eye drops for Caspurr also. They both have to be taken into the shower room and steamed for about an hour a day. In there cat carriers. The inhalation will help them not get blocked up. Abi's throat is a bit swollen.

Oh chlamydia was one of the swabs. Sorry guy's my head is thumping. I have to keep a close eye on both of them and give the Vet a phone in a couple of days. If either of them deteriorate I have to take them right back. I have to watch out for mouth ulcers in both of them. Think that's about it for now.
Oh and just to put the icing on the cake I don't have Abi insured yet. What a dumbo eh?

My doc's appointment didn't go much better. He has taken me off the morphine patch as I'm getting a really sore and itchy reaction to them. He's given me liquid morphine to take all the time. I have to measure how much I need each day. I go back i two weeks and he will then work out how much I need in slow realise tablets! Brilliant!! Any one got a spare gun?

Re: Caspurr's home just!


So pleased you have Caspurr home with you Jac......poor little boy doesn't sound at all well... I hope that when the results of the tests come back, something can then be done to help him. Likewise with Abi too. How do they seem in themselves now?

Things don't sound much better with you either Jac I hope the liquid morphine relieves your pain until you can go on the slow- release tablets.

After today, I think you deserve a big hug, Jac...........so huge ((((((((hugs))))))) to you and gentle cuddles to Caspurr and Abi... xxx

Re: Caspurr's home just!


Jac did Sarah not have Abi insured??? So pleased Casppur is back home I did not realise Abi was poorly too.
So sorry they are poorly - poor babes.

What does Caspurr's breeder say? if thats where the virus came from would it not be in her own cats too?.

Re: Caspurr's home just!


I was wondering the same; didn't the breeder insure Abi? That must be where the virus came from...I'm so glad they're both home, even if poorly; lots of TLC!!! Take care of yourself, Jac; this has been a really rotten spell for you...massive (((hugs)) !!!
