back to the vet

[woolymonkey]

When I got back from teaching in Norwich at about 11 last night, it was clear Leicester wasn't well. He wouldn't eat or cuddle and looked like he was trying to spit something out, though I couldn't see anything in his mouth. He's breathing OK, but with some difficulty--it's like he can't breathe and do anything else at the same time. He also has a temperature, so the vet reckons he's picked up an infection from another cat. He's had some shots to help clear it up and instructions to go back on Thursday if he's no better by then.

He's had all his vaccinations, so chances are this is something minor, but it's sad to see him all sorry for himself.

Humbug, meanwhile, has gone Far Away by himself, which just doens't feel right, but I suppose he has to cover Leicester's jobs for him...

Oh, poor Leicester. I hope he recovers quickly.

Thank you. L started eating again in the evening, and seems definitely perkier today, so fingers crossed, he will soon be back to normal.

Oh dear, poor Leicester! I hope the infection clears up fast, for all your sakes. *skritches him*

Thank you. He's doing a lot better today--almost as bouncy as a normal Humbug, though still pretty quiet for a Leicester.

Yay for improvement. Sending good thoughts for it to continue!

I'm so sad to hear poor Leicester is under the weather. Sending healing vibes, and hugs to all.

Thanks for the vibes. Don't stop yet, please--they're working! :)

That's good to hear. Will continue emanating.

Thanks. He's doing a lot better today. At this rate, he'll soon be back to normal.

Poor thing! I hope he feels better very soon...

[woolymonkey.livejournal.com]

Thanks. He's eating again and a lot perkier, though still quieter than usual.

Poor Leicester - I do hope he's better, and that Humbug has come Home :-)

Thank you. Both furry boys came Home very nicely last night, and Leicester evens started eating again, so things are looking up.
