Re: [Felvtalk] Healing thoughts for Bubba

Hi Beth,

 

             Do you think the infection/inflammation is from the possible bite on his tail? Did it abcess? What antibiotic is he being given for that? So the anemia has resolved? That's very positive, and it's not unusual for cats with a fever to be inappetant. I understand that most people don't choose to use nsaids in cats, but ketoprofen seemed to work wonders for Gribble's hih  fever.

 

             Does he need to be completely anesthetised for an ultrasound? Have you had problems with him in the past? I've never needed anyone put out completely, can you discuss sedation with your Vet?  Other than a tender belly, are there symptoms that lead you to suspect a tumor?

 

             I'm sorry he doesn't seem to be improving, will keep the positive energies flowing his way,

 

Hoping for better news soon,

 

Margo

Got bloodwork done yesterday. The only thing it shows is high WBC, which we figure, so he is trying to fight some sort of infection. He still has a temp of 104. Eating only a little on his own. Trying to arrange an ultrasound as his tummy has always been tender. Could be a tumor? Worried though if they put him under for the ultrasound (which they will have to do) he will not come out. Thought maybe that would be a blessing in disguise.
