Sir KT jumped off the cliff last night....{..walking away shaking head...} Handed me a 49 at pm+10.5 hollering for FOOD, Mama, FOOD! He sometimes snuffles around in the bowl pushing it down but not really eating much - NOT the case this morning. He cleaned up a whole can of FFeast Chopped Grill then half a can of FFeast Turkey/Gravy THEN a whole saucer of fresh boiled chicken! PIG! All that food is in that beautiful AMPS too! I shot a full 2u's last night but didn't really expect it to be THIS low. I backed off to a skinny 1.75 this morning but did shoot that 91. I have EVERYTHING crossed hoping he'll surf instead of bouncing again. His toenail looks good - discovered he's split TWO of them yesterday. He did this being a goof climbing on the piano, STANDING in my penny bowl trying to pull my horse halter off the wall. We're both saying "KT, down" quietly so we won't startle him into running while walking toward him. The bowl began slipping which DID startle him causing him to spin around and attempt to run catching his claws in the edge of the bowl. He ran one way, the HUGE BOWL of change goes flying across the living room scaring him even more. We've got pennies STILL showing up in strange places... :lol: That halter's been on that wall all 10 years of his life so don't know what the fascination suddenly was. My grandparents 'ran off' to get married on horseback - this halter as well as a stirrup were on the horse they 'ran away' on...they were married for 55 years when my grandfather crossed in 1977.

I'm becoming a bit concerned about Leo's breathing - he's coughing and 'huffing' terribly. I've started him on baytril a/b and prednisone (YUCK-steriod!) to try to help. When I finally got him to sit still yesterday so I could listen to his lungs, they sounded TERRIBLY congested. Called the vet - he said all THEY would do was exactly what I did so we'll see where it takes us. If it doesn't help, we'll make another trip to the vet's office. He is SO SO good but gets SO SO scared his little heart runs 900 mph making it almost impossible to truly hear his lungs.

BIG HUGS to all that visit today!!! DANCE WITH US!!!

Nice moves, KT! Show the other kitties how to get down and to the green PS limbo!

So sorry to hear about Leo's breathing. Have you tried Allerplex? Ella has been giving Rusty "lung treats" which seems to be helping. Kismet has asthma and gets inhaled treatments, but I've just ordered a bottle of Allerplex to give it a go, too. Marje suggested it to Ella and has had success with one of her kitties in the past.
 
WOW! Thank you for all the visits today! Just got back from vet - Sir Leo has pneumonia BAD BAD...his poor lungs are one ball of inflammation and crud. We're continuing Baytril and adding cough med like Mucinex in there too. I think this has been brewing for quite some time - actually don't think we completely got rid of URI last time causing it to turn to pneumonia. Poor baby feels SO SO bad.

HUGS!
 
Will higher humidity help loosen the crud in his lungs (check w/ vet to make sure its OK) - maybe a steamy shower room?
 
Sending tons of mega healing vines to Leo, poor baby. Vines to Eileen too. KT, I hope you got on your surfboard today. Hugs to you, Lyresa.

Hi Lyresa,
So sorry to hear that Leo has pneumonia. That must be very scary for him and for you. Allerplex is a holistic allergy formula that addresses many things, including lung congestion (which is what Rusty has: chronic inflammation and crud in his lungs). It is herb and enzyme-based and I don't think it would conflict with antibiotics or other medications. The formula has been around since 1959 and the company--Standard Process--since 1929. It might be worth a try. Rusty has only been on it for 6 days, but we notice an improvement in his breathing already. Marje had incredible success with one of her kitties a number of years ago.

Glad to hear that KT's toe nails will be OK. What a scene that must have been. Neat that you have the harness that your grandparents had on the horse they rode on when they ran away to get married!

Hang in there!

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty
