So so pleased. Sending gentle snuzzles to Storm, and may she continue to make a speedy recovery, especially now she's home where she belongs.

Glad to hear that Storm is now home.....

Im sure she will be feeling fine in no time!

Thats great

Sorry for the delay in up-date, my computer refused to get on to the internet for two days - STORM IS HOME

.

I think she is a little shell shocked over everything but she is on the mend and, although on medication etc, is definitely improving.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #56 on:** August 10, 2009, 13:09:31 PM »

So pleased that Storm is on the up

LesleyW · « **Reply #55 on:** August 10, 2009, 10:29:15 AM »

Thanks everyone for enquiring and sorry for the lack of response, been hectic here with more kittens coming in and some needing handrearing at only three days old.

Storm stayed in the hospital over the weekend but has improved considerably. Is eating better, passed a horrible green poo, but at least it was definitely a poo and not pus and it proves things are working inside.

Hoping she may be able to come home today but will report when I have further news. I feel really guilty because we just haven't had time to visit her, vets is approximately 15 miles away and with the babies here and car-booting to raise money at the weekend just had no time, but I know she has been in good hands and getting lots of fuss.

I do hope she has turned the corner and will get stronger and stronger

Hope that Storm continues to improve, glad she is on the up! Hope she is home soon!

Everything crossed for Storm xx

All fingers and paws crossed here

for Storm - lets home she can be home tomorrow

LesleyW · « **Reply #46 on:** August 07, 2009, 15:46:03 PM »

A glimmer of light - Storm seems to be doing a bit better. She is not passing as much "yuck" as she was and has eaten a little. Emily, my vet, says that what she has passed can hardly be called normal but it is definitely not as disgusting as in the past and definitely not as much, so hopefully the metrinidozale seems to be doing it's stuff.

They are keeping her in again tonight and we will re-assess tomorrow but she may be able to come home if things continue to improve.

So pleased keep all fingers cross for my little girl.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #45 on:** August 07, 2009, 12:24:53 PM »

Thinking of Storm today and hoping that her bottom starts to calm down soon, I think its even worse for you not knowing what they are up against!

Hope the meds sort her out pronto!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #44 on:** August 06, 2009, 21:22:06 PM »

Lots more good wishes for Storm

Fingers crossed for Storm and her test results

Julie was it giardia?

Giardia isn't that rare in cats though MM (at least not when you use American forums, it is mentioned a lot).

Fingers crossed the test results show something easily treatable Lesley.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #42 on:** August 06, 2009, 17:07:05 PM »

just caught up with this Lesley as not been on the board for a few days and I'm so sorry to hear about the Jacksons and poor little storm!

sending lots of healing vibes and

for you ... come on storm you can do it kiddo!!!

Does sound very baffling though can't think of anything similar we've encountered at all. She couldn't have ingested something she shouldn't have?? xx

Janeyk · « **Reply #41 on:** August 06, 2009, 15:32:26 PM »

poor Storm, hope the meds help

LesleyW · « **Reply #40 on:** August 06, 2009, 15:20:06 PM »

Chi, Golden Retriever, just eats too fast

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #39 on:** August 06, 2009, 15:17:10 PM »

Poor Lesley!

It's awful when they present with a problem like this, with no obvious cause. Keeping fingers crossed too, for Storm.

I reckon Golden Retriever wanted a bit of fuss too.

Dawn F · « **Reply #38 on:** August 06, 2009, 15:16:48 PM »

well I suppose that is something - still a bit odd though, as it has come out of nowhere

Nope, everyone else is fine and dandy.

, apart from my Golden Retriever who decided to throw his breakfast up immediately after eating this morning

Just spoken to the Vet and there is no change really in Storm, still dripping something mysterious from her backside

and still everything passing through her.

Every vet in the practice has had a look at her case notes now and they are all baffled. Bloods came back with a high white blood cell count, which is what was expected to be seen with such an infection but we are basically now waiting for faecal culture to throw some light on the diagnosis. Vet is starting treatment with metronidozale today, so maybe that will have some effect.

Poor cats at home are getting very worried about me as I keep lifting their tails and checking on their backsides

, they are all getting a bit of a complex

Bill up to £417 now so last week's boot money and this week's as well already used up.

I've only just seen this Lesley, I'm so sorry to hear about the little Jacksons and about Storms illness, it certainly sounds like an odd one! I hope the vet can figure out what is causing the infection and treat it. She is obviously a little fighter! The girls are sending purrs and headbutts and I will be sending get well vibes Storms way!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #33 on:** August 06, 2009, 13:19:11 PM »

It could be, MM. Not really sure though.

Julie was it giardia?

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #29 on:** August 05, 2009, 15:51:46 PM »

We've had a few strange tummy bugs this year. Can't remember the name of it and our Welfare lady is away. Something beginning with G. 1 adult plus 2 kittens I think it total since Easter. The vet said it was a human virus.

Anyway, they are scratching their heads too as it is so rare for cats to get this and all cases here came from different places and being cared for by different fosterers. The good news is that it requried a special human antibiotic and problem cleared.

When she comes back I'll ask her what it was.

Big hugs for Storm.

LesleyW · « **Reply #28 on:** August 05, 2009, 15:07:22 PM »

Storm is still baffling the Vets. She has eaten a little but basically everything she takes in is coming out the other end within a couple of hours almost in the same state it went in as, whether it be food, pro kolin or anything.

She seems brighter in herself and the Vet is going to see how she goes without being on the drip today. Basically all we can do is wait for blood and faecal results from the Lab, though the In house bloods show nothing outstanding.

She is interested in what is going on around her and is purring again now but until we have some answers she will have to stay at the hospital. I must admit I miss my little girl

Janeyk · « **Reply #27 on:** August 05, 2009, 09:41:24 AM »

hope the vets can soon fathom out what is wrong with poor Storm xx

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #26 on:** August 05, 2009, 07:26:07 AM »

Very sorry to hear about the Jackson babies, and keeping everything crossed the vet can suss out what's causing Storm's illness and get it cleared up. Poor Storm.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #25 on:** August 04, 2009, 18:53:59 PM »

Fingers crossed she has a better night and they can figure out what is wrong with her, poor baby

Sending lots of healing vibes for little Storm, do hope she can fight this off

Thinking of you Lesley and sending lots of healing vibes to Storm.
