Kenzie and Caroline,
I'll be watching Ember like a hawk to see what happens. I'm waiting to
hear back from the vet to see what I should do. Unfortunately for me,
my vet is still on leave, and her husband (who she'd designated to take
her place while away) was booked yesterday. I'm okay with the
Lance,
I was so glad to hear that you were able to get treatment for Ember. My
prayers are definitely with you. Autumn was on metronidazole back in October
and she used to gag terribly sometimes because of the medicine. Apparently
it tastes terrible. Our vet had us cushion it in the syringe
Lance, could it be that it was the Flagyl that was lodged in her throat?
Since her last stool was normal, maybe you should hold off on the Flagyl
and just make sure that it wasn't panting, but rather trying to expel
a pill.
Don't panic...it could be the Flagyl (pill).

I talked to the vet we saw last night to ask about the odd exhaling
Ember did. We discussed it for awhile, and she really couldn't say
with any certainty what might have caused it. She said that Ember's
lungs sounded good, and I would think that a lung problem would be a
likely component
Susan,
I'm really, really happy to hear that Autumn is doing so well. I know
what you mean about being nervous, but it sounds like things are
pretty good, post-spay. When does she get rid of the collar? I'm sure
she's ready to get back to her fort. As for the holidays, Christmas is
Lance:
I would just say to keep a close eye on that panting. When I was in high
school, we had an overweight, long haired older cat that started panting like a
dog. Problem was, it was mid-July and a very hot one at that. My dad was
still practicing veterinary medicine part-time at that
Sherry,
I'm sorry that Toby has gone. I can only imagine how hard it must
be for all of you. What you do, however, makes it all worthwhile. It's
given Toby and so many others at Crash's and Sid's the life and love
that they might never have had. Thank you for all that you do.

Hi Jane,
Thanks for thinking of us. Tests seemed
to indicate that it's an issue of
bacterial overgrowth in the GI tract.
Vet prescribed 10 days of metronidazole
for Ember. Ironically, Ember had a
formed bowel movement only a few hours
after we got home. I also discovered
that Ember likes to
Autumn got spayed Monday and they re-tested her for FeLV. We were hoping she
would kick it, but she was still showing a strong positive on the ELISA
test. Since the spay she has to wear one of those Elizabethean collars. We
can't take it off for two minutes without her attacking her sutures.
