Life and Liberty

April 1st, 2008 at 05:24 pm

Liberty is our oldest cat. We have had her for 3 years as of tomorrow. She's 3.5 years old. A dark gray tabby. She was our only cat until about 6 weeks ago when we adopted Riley from the animal shelter. Riley is a light gray tabby about a 1 year old. They have become good friends...lots of playtime together that's fun to watch.



Now Liberty is sick. We aren't sure what it is yet...maybe just a hairball or something more. She's been to the vet for a couple shots. She won't eat or drink. Vet doesn't want her to until tonight anyway. So, since Sunday night she just sleeps and gets sick. I feel so sad for her. It would be great if any of you could send us healing energy for Liberty.

The vet visit was $75. I'm just guessing there may be another visit ahead. Sometimes life and all that goes with it doesn't follow our plans or expectations. I don't escrow vet visits because with cats they are so rare. I suppose as they get older it will be more important to have a vet fund.

Update: She's back at the vet. She had xrays...nothing shows up! Now they are keeping her overnight for observation and to give her fluids. Thanks for all the warm wishes.

    What kind of shots did she get? She may just be having a reaction.

    She was sleeping, vomiting, running a fever and not eating prior to the shots. One was an antibiotic and the other for hairballs...not sure what it was exactly. My husband took her in. She does get up and move around some. She's used the litter box. Vet wants to be called Wednesday morning regardless...she may need an xray.

    FYI...there may be graphic details ahead. Liberty is back home for Wednesday evening after staying at the vet on the night before. The vet gave her fluids and hoped to get her to eat. We went to visit this afternoon and since she hadn't eaten, I asked if I could bring her home. He said yes. She has only eaten 4 pieces of food since coming home. Not good, but an improvement. She did finally vomit up some hair. That is good. She will continue to rest at home with another trip to the vet in the morning. Thanks again for keeping her in your thoughts!
