So I posted here a couple of days ago regarding my kitten, Lincoln. She has a pretty bad URI, and it’s turned into a “slight” case of pneumonia (never thought pneumonia could be slight, it always sounded so serious!). But she was fine for a couple days after the antibiotics, running around, eating like a horse (gained a lb. in a week!), and pretty much acting like a kitten! BUT, after her vet visit on Saturday, she came home and all of a sudden could barely breathe through her nose! She kept trying, and never got to the point where open mouth breathing was all she was doing, but she looked miserable! Wouldn’t eat, drink, and moved a lot slower. I force fed her a couple syringe full of wet food yesterday (the one and only time I’ll do that, she wouldn’t look at me for hours!), and judging by her gums (pink), she was getting enough oxygen, and also was not dehydrated, but her breathing really worried me. :/ So I took her in early this morning, and the vet decided to keep her for just the day, pump her with a strong needle-full of antibiotics, fluids, and force feed her some! SHe got an X-Ray which showed fluid in the right lung, and the vet showed me. She said she was worried, but not to the point where she was thinking life or death. I guess that’s a good thing? She loved going to the vet at first, but I have a feeling she’ll change her mind after today. Haha.
Anyways, THE REAL POINT OF THIS post is to get some positive feedback. Has anyone ever had a cat or knew of a cat that went through this and made it? I just want to know my little girl is going to be ok! Anything would help.
