Had the vet nurse on the phone this morning and a cat was found collapsed in someone's garden. He's on a drip at the moment, his temperature was really low and they are talking about putting him to sleep at 5 o'clock if there's no improvement. She has secretly done a FIV test and it's come back negative but she doesn't feel comfortable them euthanising him. She has persuaded me even though I'm on the verge of bankruptsy to take him if she can talk the vets round :tired: She thinks a couple of days of antibiotics will show some improvement, although she's not really saying the vet is wrong :shify: Hopefully they'll be some improvement and this little one will be okay :wish:
-
Fingers crossed for this baby - really hope he improves.
Good on the nurse for wanting to try her hardest for this kitty :Luv:
-
She informed me this morning she's turning into me........not sure what she means by that :sneaky: I'll pop in this afternoon to see him, hopefully something can be sorted out for the little fella but he'll remain in the vets for a couple of days anyway if he can be saved.

Dawn,
You really are one of life's Saints.
Keep us updated xxx
-
DD All my prayers and thoughts are with this little one. :wish:
:blow kiss: Poor little darling - at least he/she is safe and warm now xxxxx
Did those pouches arrive? - hope so - hope they help those runny tummies too.
-
I do hope he will recover, do they think he was collapsed cos of the cold or something else, lack of food?
Lots of get well thougyts for him :hug:
-
Poor kitty. Great that there are VN's like that around :hug:
Hope he improves :ahh:
-

I'm not sure tbh, it's possible if he's been feeling crap and the weather being the way it is, he was probably on the verge of giving up bless him :'( He's in with a chance now and the vet who checked him I wouldn't trust her opinion anyway. The VN is lovely, she took on a stray a few weeks ago that was taken into the vets in really poor condition. Her whole body was covered in scabs, she was very underweight and feeling very sorry for herself. She is now a spoilt little girl and looking tonnes better thanks to the VN :Luv: :Luv: I have to tell a little white lie and say I saw the cat in the vets when I went in to get some wormers even though I haven't been in this morning :shify: The things you have to do eh :evillaugh:
-
Great Vn and whats a white lie :shify: :shify: :shify:

Dawn big cuddles for this little man. x
-
Oh dear bless his poor little soul... :( Hang in there little man!! You deserve so much better!! My thoughts and best wishes are with you hun.
-
Do hope that this poor baby will be OK.

I've been to the vets to see this little darling and she seems pretty bright. She was very dehydrated when she was taken in so has been on a drip and she's also had something to eat. We're not sure what's happened with her, she doesn't appear to have any injuries but does have a head tremor so could possibly be poison or maybe she's been banged on the head, I honestly don't know. My name is now on her card so if she carries on improving, she will be coming home to me in a couple of days........I've christened her Phoebe :Luv: When I gave her a fuss, she reached her paw out to me and placed it on my hand, what a little darling :Luv2: :Luv2:

Poor little girl, lots of get well wishes :hug:
-
I approve of the name Phoebe - love it
No sign of a chip I suppose? How old do you think Phoebe is?
-
Not sure of her age Yvonne, she has all her teeth, that's all the vet nurse said but I don't think she's a young cat. I'll get a better idea when I chat to the vet about her :hug: Glad you like the name Phoebe, I've been waiting for a suitable cat to come in so I could give her that name :Luv: No chip either :(
-
Oops, sorry Phoebe! Called you a boy - when you're obviously a stunning lady! :) Well done to you and the VN, Dawn.
-
Aww well done to you Dawn - another baby who will get the love they deserve.
I like her name too, Phoebe looks like a pretty lady :hug:
-
Poor Phoebe will end up with a complex bless her :Luv: The VN called her a little boy this morning when she rang me but promptly changed it to a little girl this afternoon :)
-
Aww well done to you Dawn - another baby who will get the love they deserve.
I hope so hun, we'll just have to wait to see how she gets on :wish: The head tremor she has doesn't seem to be constant so I'm not sure what's going on there. Sean's away for a fortnight now so I can't even bend his ear about her :tired:
-
could be just weakness, heads are heavy you know, and if she is exhausted and wrung out to the point of collapse then holding it up might be a strain on the neck muscles ... Poor lass
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: sending lots of love for a speedy recovery.

BC, would this actually give her a tremor? I've had cats with tremors in before, Shelby being one but this was down to swelling of the brain.
-
DD shes absolutly adorable. Tons of love and positive vibes being sent to this fabulous little lady.xxxxxxxxxx
-
It would make her head shaky on her neck. Would wait a couple of days and see how she goes once her strength is built up more ...
-
Fingers crossed for her Dawn.

Thanks BC, I always thought it would be neurological or trauma, never thought about weakness, xx
-
Phoebe is lovely Dawn - well done to you and VN for helping her - do hope she continues to improve and can come home to you soon.
-
bless the little sweetheart
-
I have some really bad news concerning Phoebe :'( I had a phone call this morning off the other VN and Phoebe took a turn for the worse this morning, she was very dehydrated again and one of her kidneys was the size of a golfball and surrounded by tumours. Sadly, after the vet gave her the once over, they decided it was better for her to be pts :'( :'(
:RIP: I'm so sorry Phoebe, play hard on the bridge hun, xxxx
-
So sorry, RIP Phoebe.
At least she was given some care and a chance :hug:
-
Not the news that I wanted to hear - So sorry Dawn
:RIP: Phoebe

RIP wee girl :'(

so sorry to hear this dawn.... hope she is in a better place now :'(
-
I don't think the other VN knows yet, she was off today and she's not at home, I've tried to ring her but there's no answer :'( She'll be gutted, I'll try her again shortly. Thanks for all your good wishes, and Yvonne thanks for offering to sponsor this little lady, it's a shame she didn't pull through :'(
-
Oh Dawn I am so sorry :hug:
Sleep tight Phoebe - no more suffering for you on the bridge xxxx
-
So Sorry to hear this news, was hoping she would pull through.
