Sending out good thoughts and little healthy kitten prayers for Angelkit as she's just so sweet and Smush already loves her ~ boy was Smush ever "on it" the other day when she dropped Angelkittin in front of you. Talk about an excellent caretaker! Well~ ya both are for that matter. snugs,hugs and all good thoughts for the little one

hmm, perhaps I should have communicated better with roomy. He just spent 2 hrs at the vet and they did lots of testing like FeLV, a chest x-ray, assorted blood work she didn't need. and the result was...mix canned food with water and force feed her.

they also called the regular vet office and got her paper work. I sure hope vets don't get offended by that.

and when he got her home, she ate some kibble on her own.

of course I got this by text and getting info was like pulling teeth, so I'll know more when I get home. oh, and her temp is down. I don't know if it is gone, just that it isn't as bad as it was.

Of COURSE she ate on her own--you must have crossed the money threshold where they decide on their own that they aren't sick and come home from the vet and then eat by themselves! Kind of the "Ha! Made you spend money. Fooled ya!" I've had this trick played on me before! The only problem is the sickness/money threshold here has to get to about $500 before they snap out of it and get better instantly.

I am very glad she ate, though--that's super important for such a little kitten.

Yep.. it's tough when we can't go ourselves and say "that's been done" and "can we have it faxed to this office?" Your poor roomey probably was worried too for AK and AK was probably so glad to come home again she said " im gonna eat now cuz iz berry hungry afta all dat work!" "Yup.. dey stuck me here and stuck me der... sheeshh.. iz got to eat and go to sweep now!" and she was thinkin "dad's gonna be so proud of me!" little cute thing that she is

It's true. Usually once I hit the $800 threshhold, they start feeling better. LIke Chunk's ongoing URI that happens to be just snorty persian nostrils. Yay for spending ridiculous amounts of money becuase we are all ridiculously obsessed with our babies

Unca Dan, be sure and get the nutrical!!!! Ok? Ok!!!!

Your roomy sounds like a great purrrrrson!!!!!!

kiss kiss AngelPuss

Nutrical, you bet! Angelpuss has a week of Clavamox on the horizon and I need to look into probiotics, and smooth any ruffled vet feathers.

Roomy is a good guy. I am pals with the neighbours. Roomy is the neighbour dude's brother. Very handy around the house. He can fix stuff! He is a machinist and works long 3rd shifts 3 days a week and 4 days off. Usually he goes huntin and fishin on his days off. But he has been very helpful with the kitties.

A question for you, did the lack of appetite start before or after you started the Clavamox, Clavamox can make them sick to their stomach, a different anti biotic may be needed. Did they give her fluids, I ask a lot of questions huh.

No she went off her feed sometime Sunday or Monday, so before the Clavamox. She has only has 2 doses so far. She and Smush both got sick at the same time.

Smush = low fever and goopy conjunctivitis.

Angel = higher fever, no food or drink, and lethargic. no other symptoms that I noticed.

Roomy said no they did not give her sub-q (which is what I would have requested). just force feed food mixed with water. Not sure exactly what I will find when I get home in a couple hours, but I am hoping for happier kitties. Wow, this just came on so fast and scared the crapola outta me!

I am so sad to read all this.
I will add to the prayers for well kitties.
I know how stressful this is...
hugs to you too
You are such an attentive and caring Dad.
