Tuesday night Hedy was acting a little off. I was down in the kitten room so it might have been a simple case of her being tired, but I wasn't thrilled how she was looking and she seemed to not be so interested in eating anymore.
A short while into my visit Hedy went to the litterbox and it was pretty obvious that things were not right (Yes, I took a picture of her output and no I am not going to make you look at it) It was very soft, there was some blood at the end of it, and there were copious amounts of it.. like half a cup or even 3/4s (no, I didn't measure it)
She had been filling up her litter box in less than 12 hours so I had to give her a second one.. She is not putting on weight despite having constant access to food and on Tuesday I realized she was losing again and on Wednesday morning there were several piles of vomit.
So, off to the vet, we went. She seemed to quite enjoy the outing..

If things don't improve we'll go back next week and run some blood tests. If things get worse we'll go in sooner.
If nothing else, it helped with kitten socialization
They weren't impressed with the GSD that was in the lobby barking like only a 150lb dog can do (okay fine, maybe 100lb, maybe only 75.. shush, it was a big dog) but Slate was a little freaked out by a smell on the tech's coat, which I am sure smelled like any number of animals. Everyone else did really well being loved on, so I count it a win.
Poor Hedy. I hope the meds help her and everybody is back on track soon.

ReplyDeletePraying Hedy makes a full, complete and quick recovery. Thank you, Connie, for taking such wonderful care of her and her babies.
ReplyDeleteHope Hedy is feeling better. Tinkerbell sympathizes with Hedy. She had to take metronidazole and hates the pill form so much, we had to get it compounded in chicken flavor so she would take it.
