Quick Kage update

[ebonlock]

Just talked to the vet, Kage will be staying there until at least Monday at this point. Her fever's down from 105 to 104 but the vet wants to see more improvement and to see her eating before he'll let her go home. I don't disagree with him and like the fact that he's cautious and aggressive in her treatment. She's currently on two kinds of antibiotics and they're rehydrating her via IV, her bloodwork also came back looking good, no major organs are involved and her kidneys and liver look good. So it seems to be an intestinal bacterial infection that she's having trouble fighting off. The news could've been much worse so I'm counting my blessings at this point.

Elwood's younger I think, Kage's turning 11 next week, and unfortunately the elderly animals tend to have a harder time fighting stuff like this off.

Elwood is about 10. :)

No idea how old he *actually* is, but. In his case, the vet said this is pretty common in older cats, and especially males.

I'm glad she's improving. I think this also warrants a candle lighting, along with all the other bad news this week.

Yikes! I'm glad that she's getting good care, and hope that she will be much better on Monday.

Sorry to hear that Kage is under the weather! I hope she responds well to the treatment and is back causing her usual mischief at the homestead soon! :)
