Just been to the vets with little Blossom. She was the first foster cat I had who came with her 5 kittens - Caesar, Cassius, Thomas (was Cain), Cleo and Cassy - and ended up staying with Phil along with Cassius and I kept Caesar. Anyway, last night she was really down in the dumps, but when we got the laser pen out she had a skitty ten minutes so we thought maybe just a bug and left her to sleep it off. This morning Phil phoned me to say she hadn't moved from the spot she was in last night and she hadnt eaten, drank or passed any fluids.
I took her to the vets this afternoon and her temperature is right up at 105 and has lots of pain in her kidney area :( Thankfully she weed in the car and it wasn't concentrated so at least she can pass fluids. She has been pumped full of painkillers etc and tonight she is at home to try to get her to drink and to see if her temperature comes down, in which case it is something she has eaten, and back to the vets tomorrow morning. I'm hoping it is something she has eaten and not her kidneys, but very worried about her and hoping that in the morning she is back to her loopy self and it isn't something more serious :unsure:
-
Hope things are improving for Blossom. Jazz has arrive. He is currently hiding in the cage away from the big hissy thing (Oliver) and the OMG will it eat me thing (Rosa).
-
Sorry to hear that Cara :(
Fingers crossed for overnight progress
-
hope she's ok soon Cara xxx

Fingers crossed for her Cara

Bloss seems to be getting worse not better :( She managed to eat a little chicken and drink some water when she got in but now she wont move from the top of the stairs and is staring listlessly at the wall. I'm hoping she starts to perk up over night, but am really worried about the little terror.
-
fingers crossed for her xxx
-
Hope its better news soon. x
-
poor little one! :(
-
Thank you everyone :) I keep checking on her, but have to go home soon so Phil will need to keep an eye on her overnight. I'm also worried as my little Niblet has yet again gone missing after Arwen chased her out of the house on Tuesday and she hasn't been back since. Although, until she is gone four days or more I won't panic as she sometimes does disappear for a few days when having a strop.
I'm sure cats (and dogs, chooks, ducks, rabbits - all the little terrors) were put on this earth to cause us worry ::)
-
Hope Blossom perks up by morning! :( My tiggs had kidney desease and as you know there are things (tablets, food etc) that can be done for them but I have my fingers crossed she picks up by morning! Have noticed that more people use weed killers etc this time of year though, so maybe it could be something she has eaten?

Poor Blossom... I hope she has a restful night and is feeling better in the morning.
My Mac often has periods of being really off colour and I usually put it down to a mouse or similar that he has caught. A shot of antibiotics normally perks him up in a few days.
-
Still not good today :( Took Bloss to the vets at 9am and at least her temp has come down to 103.5, but that is still high and she is still very lethargic and uncommunicative. As she refuses to use a litter tray (she will hold for days!) the vet said to let her out if she wants to toilet as she needs to pass in case it is something she has eaten and she just went out to toilet then straight back in to lie down and sleep again. The vet printed off all the treatment so that if she has to go to the emergency vets today/tomorrow they know what has been going on. The vet did seem hopefully it is something the silly terror has eaten and not something more serious, but she is still one very poorly little puss tat :(
Niblet has also still not some home... :(
-
Poor Blossom I hope whatever it is soon passes and I hope Niblet comes home soon. xx
-
Bloss seemed a little better this morning and then started to be sick again :( Phil let her out for what he intended to be five minutes but she hasn't come back since and that was 6 hours ago :( I'm really worried about where she has gone as she isn't coming when called and she hasn't had any meds or fluids in her.
On a good point Niblet has returned. A very hungry Niblet, with lots of cobwebs and grime attached to her ::) I'd love to know where she has been!!!
-
Oh Cara pleased Niblet has returned but what a worry for you with Bloss now disappearing, fingers crossed she comes back safe and sound xxx
-
Any sign of Blossom yet, Cara? I do hope she turns up safe and as well as possible considering she hasnt had her meds
-
No sign of Blossom :( On top of that Arwen attacked Niblet in the middle of the night and she has done a bunk again :(
I'm worried about Bloss as she is really poorly and there are so many places around here to hide and I just can't find her :(
-
I'm keeping everything crossed for you... I hope she's just found a quiet spot somewhere to rest until she feels like company again... I bet Niblet's doing the same! ;)
-
Hi Caralou,
I'm a cat lady too, it's so worrying when they're not well/missing, I really feel for you.
Hope everything turns out ok.
-
Hi
Sorry to hear about your pudy tat, I hope she turn up soon, they normaly do, in their own time. :(

Oh no, Hope they both turn up safe and well..... Its horrible when they go missing. I havent had cats for a few years but remember the feeling well from when I did have 2

Blossom has been found, but she was very poorly - dehydrated, sickness, shaking - she is now in kitty hospital on a drip and they are taking more bloods to see what is wrong with her. At least she is being monitored now, and when she gets home she is in the spare room until better - no little outside trips for her!!!
No sign of Niblet again this evening, but when she comes in again I am going to keep her in and try a slow reintroduction with Arwen. I have put Arwen on tablets to reduce her stress levels and have plugged in the feliway and sprayed feliway all over the house so hopefully I can get them to get on again - fingers crossed :unsure:
Thank you so much for all your well wishes :)
-
so pleased Blossom has been found, hopefully the vets can get to the bottom of this and sort her out xxx
Fingers crossed that Niblet comes back soon and that you can get things settled :)
-
Hope Blossom improves
-
I hope your stress levels improve! :ohmy:
-
any news from the vets Cara as to how Blossom has been overnight?
any sign of Niblet yet?
-
Niblet stayed in last night and then jumped into bed with me this morning :D When I was out in the garden she followed me around while I fed the chooks and ducks so I think she is a little happier. Arwen ignored her in the garden - it seems she only chases her in the house :unsure: ???
Bloss is a little better this morning. I am heading to the animal hospital at 12 to transfer her to the normal vets. They are still not sure what is wrong, but they have ruled out kidney problems which is good news :)
-
things are starting to look at bit better at the Cara household now then :D
-
Things sound a bit more positive
-
Any news on Blos today cara,
fingers and everything crossed from me I know how much your animals mean to you.
Hugs from me.
-
Bloss is being a little terror :D :D :D She is back home, ragging the carpet, climbing the walls and generally complaining at being kept in the house and not being allowed out! They are sure it is something she ate, but thankfully it has done no long term damage - except to Phil's wallet :lol: I'm taking her back for a check this evening at the vets and she has a few more days of ab's and anti-nausea meds before she is allowed out again :)
-
That's great news... she's on the mend proper now!!
That must be a weight off your mind :)
-
hooray for Bloss, glad to see she is on the mend. Hope you gave her lots of cuddles and told her not to worry us all again. naughty puss cat.
-
That's really good news :)
