Poor Bilbo was right off colour yesterday, seemed to just sleep, wouldn't eat, wouldn't purr and by 9pm last night hadn't gone to the toilet. I checked him over to see if any bits were sore or hurting but there was nothing, though I was a bit worried by the not going to the toilet bit so I gave the emergency vet a ring. He said that if Billy wasn't showing any pain or discomfort he wouldn't need to see him until first thing this morning, so I stayed up with him all night to keep an eye on how he was (Bilbo I mean, not the vet). By 4am he'd got his purr back, and at 6am he went to the toilet. He still wasn't right though so I packed him in his box and took him to the surgery. The vet checked him over and he has a slight infection on his chest and as a result is running a fever :(
One injection later he's home, but we have to take him back tomorrow to ensure his fever has gone.
Bilbo's rap sheet at the vets is huge :evillaugh: :shy:
-
Poor Bilbo has the lurgy, I know just how he feels! Give him a hug from me. And well-done you for noticing! ;D
-
Aww, fingers crossed for him.
-
Hope it was just a 24 hour thing - :ahh:
-
Bless him. Give him a good big :cuddle: from Aunty Roof and Lexy.
-
Aw, poor Bilbo, hope he's feeling much better soon :Luv:
-
Hope Bilbo feels better soon :hug:
-
Hope he'll be back to his old self soon :hug:
Ging had that few years ago and he was fine after the injection so hopefully it'll be the same with Bilbo :)
-
Poor Bilbo! Hope he's feeling better.
-
:hug: Thanks very much everyone.
He's made a miraculous recovery! He's eaten his breakfast and is looking at me as if to say "dad, seeing as I'm ok now, hows about letting me out for an hour?" :tired:
Little bugg er :)
-
Glad Bilbo has perked up :) Please give him an extra large healing head kiss from me and the boys just in case :Luv:

my old boy was like that yesterday, was going to see what he was like today and he seems fine - well he's eaten and demanded to go out whereas yesterday he slept on our bed all day and couldn't be bothered to eat anything. I though it might be another fight though wasn't going to panic after the £280 vets now bill.
Didn't stop me not sleeping much last night - especially as he felt lively and wanted to be fussed most of the night - or so it seemed!!
-
hows he doing tonight Carl? :)
-
He's doing grand tonight Gwen, thanks very much for asking :hug:
Him and Baggins have been chasing each other around and wrestling, and he's got his appetite back and a bit more to make up for what he missed out on yesterday :evillaugh:
Still taking him back tomorrow though, just to be sure.
