3 sick kitties

[Gypsy]

Took Duncan back to the vet. He now has a 'raging sinus infection' on top of the bronchitis and an ear infection AND a chipped tooth. They gave him subQ fluids, some new nose drops, expelled his anal glands (88 bucks for that... I could have done it at home), and gave him an appetite stimulant.

He looks a little better since the fluid absorbed. Still won't eat or drink on his own... even with the appetite stimulant. I just made a mess of my bedding playing 'smash face' with wet food and him. I'd smash it on his chin, he's lick it off, snort and glare. I got maybe a 1/4 teaspoon into him.

. At least he's had water so I know that he'll be okay till morning. In the morning I have to take him to the veterinary dentist for blood tests, more subQ fluid, and another appetite stimulant. His surgery is on Wednesday.

He just sounds horrendous. Horking, hacking, coughing, snorting, wheezing...

Could use some PS dust to make him healthy again.

wow! i'm so sorry he's so unwell, gypsy.

and i'm sorry you're having to deal with this in the weather i know you're having at the moment - what a misery! sounds like you're doing everything humanly possible tho, and then some. (i just *love* a thorough pet owner! mwah! good job, you soft hearted kitty-mamma, you!)

sending all sorts of good vibes and positive zen your way for strength for you and a quick recovery for him.

how are the other 2? any better?

Frodo''s not getting any worse and occassionally looks better. Hally seems to be on the road to recovery. She''s jealous of the attention Duncan is getting since it''s even more than what she got last week (she got a lot of attention last week. But at no time were we worried about her choking to death, which we are with Duncan) plus since he''s not eating he''s being tempted with all sorts of tasty treats--- on the plus side for them, they get all the discarded food (and there is a lot of discarded food).
