:(

I came home today from work and, once again, things aren’t looking super awesome. They aren’t as bad as they were the other day when I found him, but I’m still worried. He’s being very lethargic, is ignoring his food and water, and to top it off won’t come near me due to all of the attempts to get him to take his medicine.

I’m so sad.

I called the emergency veterinarian again this evening and they told me that they could give me some oral liquid antibiotic to try on him. I used that this evening, but that didn’t stop him from mucusing it all up again. It is so weird- before two days ago I had never, ever, ever seen him do this. It’s not just cat vomit or cat spit – it’s super thick mucus. He keeps doing this weird licking/chewing thing but there isn’t anything in his mouth but mucus. He isn’t spitting anything up but mucus and the medicine that I’m trying to get him to take.

I just wish that he would take the goddamn medicine.

I’ve done a little bit of looking online, and it looks like me may have some kind of viral infection in addition to the bacterial infection. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but that’s kind of what I think I might be leaning toward. And clearly, there is nothing that one can really do for a viral infection but allow it to run its course. It’s the bacterial infection that I’m the most worried about- again- that blood. I cannot even begin to describe the horror that I felt upon seeing that blood. I really, honestly thought that that was it- that he was dying.

And he still might be, I don’t know.

I just want him to get better. Honestly, the thought of losing him right now is just paralyzing. First Dave, then Jackie moves out so I’m living alone, then my cat dies… I mean, what else could possibly go wrong?

Positive. I have to think positive. Lots of other things could go wrong. My life isn’t bad.

Still, it’s hard to think positive when he’s so obviously not feeling well. This is just awful.

Random Note: Trust me i completely see what you are saying about the what else can go wrong thing..my mother died a little over a month ago and then i catch my husband being stupid with an EX friend..i am now trying to decide if my marriage is worth saving..i don’t think anything was physical with him YET but i do believe the intention was there….I had to temporarily re-home a six month old

random note: female kitten, she is fixed, had shots etc, but one of my dogs just will not leave her alone, we have two other cats, her sister and my mom’s cat (which they are used to too because my mom watched them a lot), I am scared he will accidentally hurt her, she hisses at him so now it has become a game to him.. 🙁 .. I cry a lot and constantly pray, i am just waiting for the

random note: “what else could go wrong” part to show up..i honestly do not see how things could be any worse, but i thought that right after mom passed away and look at me now..my husband..so i am waiting for the ball to drop…good luck..and HUG .. i think you need one just like i do…

Random note: I hope kitty improves and is doing well..please keep me posted..

I’m so sorry 🙁 My only guess is that he’s coming up on a very long life in kitty years, and realistically… it’s normal and expected for things to start slowing down at this age. Was there any type of intermuscular injections they could give you instead of it being an oral antibiotic?? I know you’re going to do the best you can, but I also think it’s time to be strong and realize that he IS

old, and even if it’s not yet, it may be in the next couple of years. I know that’s the last thing you want to hear and the last thing you want to deal with on top of everything else, but I’ve been reading you for a while… and I know you’re a strong girl. You’ll make it through. Bad things have a tendency of happening all at once. I truly think it’s a way for the universe to test our stregnth <3

Sending best wishes to him!

come to think of it, Roxy did that nasty spitting thing when she had an infection, too. Like a massive amount of thick drool, right? Maybe that’s just how they react? I had never seen her do that before, either. I hope he starts to turn around soon… I am sending positive vibes your way <3

Oh, and I’d also been worried that she wasn’t getting any of the meds because every time I’d give it to her that’s what she would do. Every. Time. So disgusting! And frustrating! But she did pull through. So hopefully your Kitty is getting at least a little bit, as well.

I’m so sorry about your kitty 🙁 it’s a lot to deal with right now… I’m sure it’s worrying you 24/7. I hope and pray he gets better! My cat means the world to me so I can only imagine what you’re going through 🙁

she's come undone.

Break On Through.

Did you try pill pockets? They have them at PetSmart/PetCo. So so sorry. 🙁

Losing a pet is no easier than losing a human. I hope he gets better quickly; that sounds like a pretty nasty bug he’s got. ~
