Bootsie has an appointment tomorrow at 3. Purrs are much appreciated. She was
coughing a bit and sneezing about six weeks ago, they gave her antiobiotic and
she quit. Now the cough/sneeze is back. Purrs that it isn't herpes or FIP or
something bad or chronic. I don'tt like the way the cough came back.

You got it, Sherry

An appointment on 3 in a Saturday? Well, well...
Anyway, we hope that it is just a common cold.

It was Friday. Maybe my post from Thurs. was late getting to your newsreader?
Anyway, we took Bootygirl in and the vet ddid a test for FeLV and FIP, he
wanted to rule that out since it seemed to be an immune deficiency issue. It
was negative. He suspects feline herpes but didn't do a test or anything. Gave
her a antiobiotic shot, amixil to bring home with a "wait and see" diagnosis.
Her ears were inflamed a little too. He had a hard time getting a bllood sample
from her paw and ended up having to get it from her neck. DH turned white and
had to sit down. Poor Bootie. I hope the antiobiotic works and this is the end
of it. Thanks you guys.

Just hate those "wait and see" diagnosis.

purrs and prayers that this time will take care of the problem,
whatever it is

I had a thought. If he suspects herpes, it wouldn't hurt to add some
l-lysine to her food.

I keep reading about that on the groups and had actually wondered about it
already. Where do you buy it? I don't mind trying it at all, but Bootygirl is
*so picky* aabout her food she might not eat it.
She won't even eat the food when the canister gets 3/4 empty. I guess it
doesn't taste the same as it does really fresh. *sigh*.

Hi Steve! I haven't seen your posts in a while (though I admit I've skipped
through and not read thoroughly lately). I hate the ''wait & see" stuff too.
Wanted to tell you that a beautiful border collie mix was brought into the
shelter with a *badly* broken leg, an old break that healed bad. Her first
joint above the paw absolutely swiveled, was bent forwards and that's what she
was walking on. Anyhoo, Dr. Haney re-broke it, put a pin in it and set it all
up in a cast FOR FREE. Purrs of appreciation to Lawton's most compassionate
vet.

Purrs that the antibiotics work, and purrs that DH recovers.
