One of our cats is ill :(

[wolfcrazy64]

We had rush to Bimbo ( our long haired tortishell + white cat) into the vets earlier because she was coughing, dribbling excessivley, had been sick about 5 times ( once on herself) and appeared to be having trouble breathing the receptionist at the vets thinks it might be cat flu hopefully she will be ok.
The budgies on the other hand are completly fine and are getting noiseier every day

oh no... hate any pet being ill.. will she be ok?

Hope she's better soon x

sounds like she may also have ingested something she should not have I trained as a animal tech assistant after high school and we studied about the ingesting of poison and toxic etc sounds like the symptoms of possible toxicty ingestion especially the being sick and if they lose the use of the legs and go limp of course it could be the feline flu virus in which case they will most likely give her antibiotics and a drip/injection maybe keep her in overnight and she will get better soon! either way I hope shes ok

Hello everyone Bimbo is doing much better :-)
The vet thinks it is a chest infection so she has given her antibiotics and we can take her home later

So sorry to hear about Bimbo wolfcrazy64, but good news from the vet. Hope she makes a speedy recovery.

Hello everyone Bimbo has been diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, she has been given two rounds of antibiotics + anti imflammatories and is now recovering at home

Good to hear.

So nice that she has been able to return home, I swear they feel more comfortable just as we do when we are feeling a bit poorly

Get well wishes being sent to Bimbo x
