Dearest Kerry,
You and Bandy have been through so much together. All my prayers are
with you that he will once again bounce back. I don't have any
suggestions for treatment for you, it sounds like he's on so much
already. Did you try the IR? I have been hesitant to use it too, but
just maybe...
Much love to you, I'm with you in spirit,
Nina

Hi everyone,
My Bandy has been very sick this week..First, we are still fighting
the ringworm, but it is our least worry for now..He starting getting
limp in one rear leg as he did back in the summer..So I took him in on
Tues. and he received basically same treatment as in the summer...He
got some dex, adequan, B vit inj, and torbutrol for pain..His temp was
103.5 which is the highest it has been since Aug..he did seem to
respond as he came home, ate ok and drank...climbed up on his tower
and would purr and talk to me..Then on Fri. or really late Thurs
night, he wouldn't eat at all or move about much..So I took him back
to the doctor Fri afternoon...His temp was still around 103 which
could explain the bad appetite, but I didn't know what else to do and
still don't...
So the vet tech called the Doctor since she is off on Fri..we ran a
complete blood chem and profile and thyroid...He hasn't had all that
since June so we were due...It didn't help us much either...Surprising
enough his PCV was 37.5 which is great...the WBC was low normal...some
other blood values grans and monocytes were off which I don't know
what all that means..his platlets were very low...Anyone know anything
about that????
I'm really scared for him now...He doesn't seem to have URI or UTI and
no mouth ulcers..no stomach trouble either..He did have a loose stool
couple of times the other day. Probably from all the meds on Tues..
I can't get him to eat...I have tried everything...He will eat a few
bites at a time and won't drink any broth either..I don't know what
else to try...Please let me know what you all think.
He also got 250cc subq fluids..today and 2 different antibiotic
injections along with 5mg pred which we are going on for a week..and
if he won't eat I am to up it to 10mg..also oxazepam for appetite
stimulant...
Please keep him in your prayers..
I hope all your kitties are doing well...we send head butts to all..
Kerry, Bandy and Inky
