Tabby is well

 

   Just wanted to update you guys that the little kitty is well. The Vibra Vet medicine or what the Vet injected was effective. The symptoms that were showing a few days ago were respiratory problems already. He used to look like gasping for air,  but that was because he couldn’t breathe properly, but now he can sleep soundly and finally eating too.

   One thing I noticed was, his voice seemed to drop, usually when it’s eating time he meows quite a lot, but since he got sick he has this faint meow. The vet said since he is male, he’s at the point of vocalizing, with that said, I hope in a week his voice will be back to normal. I also put fern-C in his food as suggested by  Lady E.

   Special mention to my blogger friends Lady E, and john and also to salmoncat and Midge for wishing him well.

   The problem with our house, as much as I want to keep them indoors, there’s this one part that they can squeeze in to get out (we are renting the place, and the 2nd floor has lots of cats and including a war freak huge cat Siamese). For now, I have to keep them caged and only let them out when I’m on my rest days. I need tabby to be fully well so I can give him a bath and this time, but most probably early next year give him shots.

Here are videos: the 2nd video was the first time he ate after 2 days

Viral Infection in cats

 

  Non beauty..food…or gadget related…

 

    Hello readers, hope you are all well. With the cold season, almost some are down with the cold, as for me, I had my check up due to a nasty cough and was diagnosed with viral infection. But now, it’s almost gone, sadly my beloved cat was also diagnosed with the same condition.

   Yesterday I was at panic because of a mishap that happened with my Tabby (he's the adopted stray cat that I adopted last year). The past few days I noticed he kept on sneezing a lot, but I didn't notice or thought it was something serious, since I am always busy with work and asleep in the morning I don't get to spend time with them, only during my rest days. But yesterday, when I got home he looked different and I noticed very watery eyes. I brought him to the vet and when we got there he looked terrible than ever, saliva build up around the mouth, due to the stress from the short tricycle drive to the vet. Had his check up and result was Viral infection. Which was funny because I am sick too and diagnosed with viral infection as well. But looking at him was not funny at all. I was really panicking, it was partly my fault, I didn't give him any shots before since my mom didn't want to spend money for my cats.
  

   The vet didn't say if it was worse already, but she gave him shots and some meds, now I really hope in 2 days he'll get well. I read that they can't eat for now since they can't smell food (blocks the sense of smell). I am reliant with the medicine and prayers that he'll be okay. I caged him for a while, and so with my other cat, prevention is better than cure. I'll only let them out when I'm around to keep an eye on them.

   Darn those cats upstairs! Like I said, if only I was the winner of the lotto I will rescue ALL stray cats and build them a home.

   Good thing there’s a nearby vet somewhere along Kalayaan Avenue Makati, as much as I wanted to have him confined, my budget doesn’t permit me to, so the vet advised some medications instead and have him caged. The lady vet seemed she knows what’s she’s talking about which is good. The clinic was nice and airconditioned too.
