Fingers crossed for her.

Damn that snake.

Very much so! I'm doing the best I can for her & the rest is up to her.

I will keep her in my prayers for a good outcome

Oh wow! That poor girl!
Okay, so this happened a little while back... she is still feeling the affects of this?

Oh poor baby! I hope she gets better soon.
I have a cat that is so terrified of going in the car that he has diarrhea every time he goes to the vet.
I had to stop using the fancy cat carrier and use disposable cardboard ones and take a spare so he can come home in a clean one.
Now they give me a dose of gabapentin to give him on the morning of a vet visit and he is so chill in the carrier it is amazing.
It sounds like maybe she has an upset tummy (which of course antibiotics will likely exacerbate) but keep an eye open for the idea that her hatred of the carrier and diarrhea are not independent of each other.

Thanks for the heads up. I will watch out for it. The good news is that the ride home was uneventful.

Hello Bob how is Eowyn doing today?

Her activity level has already picked up and her nose is cold and wet again. She is looking better already. Thanks for asking.

Koffee Klatch Wednesday Wherever.
Coffee with Gloriana this morning. She was peeved with me. Her breakfast was late! She was honking for me before I got downstairs.​

That's a good sign that she was yelling at you. Is she eating well?

 

[BY Bob]

I got her to the vet @ the 1st possible opportunity, which was yesterday so probably a bit soon to tell how she is doing. Her overnight poop has more solid matter than it has done & she was awake & up & looking for me this morning ~ all positives. She's eaten & drunk, also good.

The bad news...I have been looking @ pictures of chicken poop for days trying to work out what is going on with her. My best guess was kidneys. Unfortunately that was also the vet's diagnosis. All I can do is try.

That is not good looking stuff. I suppose that could certainly be a consequence of being squeezed too hard as well. I'm sorry.

 

[BY Bob]

Yes, the dump. Now there's a colloquialism I didn't expect to have trouble with!

I am a slow learner but I did guess via those context clues.

 

[BY Bob]

Thanks, Sue. At least the vet is reassuring in the sense I have been doing everything right to treat her so far. What is actually scary is how impressed the vet was with how I had been treating her. She must see a lot of totally clueless people.

OR....... you are getting better at this. I believe that I am right.

It seems so. I'm surprised but I can't think of anything else as she's not actually sick ~ as in not a disease. And the vet thought there might have been spinal damage, liver damage &/or neurological damage. She was surprised that Gloriana is still with us given what happened. She is a lot of work just now but she's a tough one & is fighting hard. She knows I'm in her corner.
