Purrs Needed - Banana has Pneumonia
My older Manx kitty Banana Simian has been having labored, constantly audible
breathing for a couple weeks, although she doesn't appear to be in pain. Last week I ran her into the vet, who determined that the rather eerie noises were coming primarily from her throat. Major blood tests came back reasonable, given the age - nothing more remarkable than slightly elevated kidney readings. He put her on diluted nose drops for three days, and an antibotic (Amoxy) which has continued to date. She really hadn't been getting any better, so I took her in yesterday. A mild (at this point) case of pneumonia was diagnosed with xrays. They kept her all day, treating her with some sort of medications air-dispersed via nebulizer, and sent her home with a different antibotic. Today through Saturday she'll be given one nebulizer treatment and she's there right now.. Needless to say, I'm quite concerned that this unusual (to me) problem isn't clearing up. She's had a pretty tough life, including losing her ears to skin cancer and being extremely lame. She's a real sweetie and obviously I'm hoping this latest round of treatment can bring her around. If anyone cares: http://members.cox.net/mybrainhurts/BananaStory.htm will show some pictures of her. I'd be grateful for some warm thoughts for the girl. Art |
