Thank you! Upon examination, the vet said he didn’t think we needed to do any tests right now except to maybe check her blood pressure, but after that he said he decided to do some chest xrays and get an updated look at her heart and kidneys. They gave her some sub-q fluids and gave me the rest of the bag to try and give her some at home (which she hates).
I’ve done that if you need help let me know. Wish you could hold her and I could do it. Once upon a time, I hung the bag on a hanger, and hung it on a picture hook above the bed, the kitty on the bed. Also hung it from a kitchen cabinet door with her on the floor. I was lucky, she liked it, and waited for it. They gave me a smaller gauge needle than what they used. It meant it flowed in slower but also was easier to put in.
I have the stuff here for this kitty just in case. I need to figure out where I would do it.
Your girl looked very cute in her crate. I hope you get all good results. Hugs for you both.
My Daisy cat has not been herself in the last week or so. Sleeping in the weirdest of places, like above the fridge, and just looking a bit depressed and lacking her usual energy.
We finally figured out what was wrong! She went ‘out on the town’ and kicked up her heels on an all nighter about a week or more ago.
She came home about 5:30 AM when l got up for work!
She is normally an indoor cat, but has taken an interest in a stray in our cul de sac, who obviously lured her out to cavort around the neighbourhood with him.
The end result was a nasty infestation of fleas!! Lucky she’s desexed, or it could have been worse!
Anyway, l never knew that a bout of fleas could change an animal’s disposition so much.
She’s much better now, but it took a few different treatments to get rid of those disgusting critters.
The kitty who’s taken to the workshop on our rural property is sooooo friendly with me. She loves to mash her face into mine lol. I’m going to get an appointment to get her fixed (TNR). Hubby wants to keep her for mouser but wondering if I should adopt her out? Hard decision. She does seem quite happy with her setup
They both get the same. Dora even gets more. She is my T2D cat. Last possiblity would be to feed them only wet food or get them chipped and have a feeding automat that opens up on different chips. But I am not there yet. Weight stays constant. Paula 400 g heavier.
She’s spoiled with salmon & sardines lol. I want to get her vaccinated, wormed etc too. She was with what I presume was her mama, who occasionally comes around but pretty skittish. They have access to a heated feral cat shelter I bought & put in the shed/barn, and food & water bowl. I even had hubby put a kitty door that leads from barn side to his insulated/heated workshop. I sit on a chair and she jumps right into my lap. Just need to keep our prey-driven rescue dog from her. Thankfully he’s always leashed.
You can buy little “houses” or shelters for stray or outdoor cats. Here in Canada, definitely helpful in harsh winters. The one I have, you plug in so it has a heated section.
Here’s two examples:
