Stinod is going down hill again. I knew some of her sudden recovery had to do with the steroid shot. She now has a URI and I had to fight her this a.m. to give her sub cu fluids. She feels very hot. She will only lap at a little KMR and not eat on her own. I was up until 2:30 a.m., setting in the 8 cats I trapped to be spayed, then taking care of Stinod. As a result, I slept til 10:00 a.m.!
The pregnant torti, now in a rabbit hutch in my bedroom, is very feral. I am going to have to tell the woman if she hasn't had kittens by tomorrow, she is going to be spayed. I can't deal with more cats here. I have to say no. I don't have the money to care for them, test the mom, vaccinate everybody, worm and flea treat them all. I just do not have the money to take on a feral mom and kittens.
I gave her a lot of ideas for finding the six teens homes and I hope she does that. She does need help with that and they are beautiful cats who should be in homes.
I thought Stinod was going to make it. I'm not so sure now.
I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

ReplyDeleteDo you think it could be that the infection is in her bloodstream? If she's had the abcess for a few days without it draining, that could cause septicemia. Maybe another antibiotic shot - or IV antibiotics? Maybe this will help: http://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/cardiovascular/c_ct_septicemia_bacteremia
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm running short on dough, Connie, but she likely will get another antibiotic shot. She is getting her once daily Baytril. The URI is sapping her now, probably a kitty cold, viral. The lump has gone down in size drastically, but the vet said, it still may need opened and a drain tube in.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a Vicks vaporizer? I've used one repeatedly for URIs & had great results. No water necessary & they fit inside a carrier. Target & Walmart have them for under $20. I've also used a dab of Vicks on a cat's chin, where they can't easily lick it off.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the pregnant torti. I'm sorry about Stinod. = (
ReplyDeletePoor stinod - I can't promise much Jody - this happens to be a rough time here but I will send cat food in a week and do what else I can. I know they eat up the food in a day but hey, its a days worth of food! I'll see about sending an extra box, too, when i send it.
