some one please help

I apologize for being doubtful, AJ. There is a vast difference in quality between your first few posts and your follow-up post. It was not just grammatical errors, but it was quite disjointed. It appeared to have been written by a child. I am guessing it is because you are very stressed. And when I read that your cat may have “mail nurture,” that kind of solidified my stance. I would think that a 19 year old animal owner (and vet student) would be familiar with the word “malnourishment.”

If your last vet charged you thousands of dollars within a few weeks time with no clear diagnosis, and you feel he was scamming you, he needs to be reported. Start off with the Better Business Bureau.

call as much as you want, it shows you care about her.

I dont mean to be rude or anything but what is CSU, I am assuming it is a state university but for the life of me cant figure out which one.

Also, something you might want to think about for the future when, God willing, your baby comes home — are your kitties allowed outdoors? I live in New Zealand, where there are no natural predators for kitties but I know many people on this site, who live in the States, keep their cats indoors only. If you’re living in the country, it could prevent future problems with predators and contaminated water sources.

That’s neat about Koojo,your other kitties are beautiful in your avatar. More prayers for Bellason’.

Try to get some sleep hon.

Sending lots of Healing Energy and TDK White Light for Bella’s recovery and {{hugs}} for AJ.

AJ, just catching up on this update. I am so sad for you. Sounds like sweet little Bella is very sick. You did the right thing in taking her in. I hope and pray that they are able to help her. It sounds like they are giving her subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids, God willing this will help until the correct medication kicks in.

I have had kitties in the hospital before. I would not hesitate to call as often as you need to. Usually staff at vet clinic love animals and understand pet owners very well.

I will be praying for your Bella.

Hi, AJ. Welcome to TDK. I’m sorry it is under such stressful circumstances! It sounds like you are giving every chance to Bella as she deals with her health issues. I hope you will be able to visit Bella as well as check on her by telephone. It will probably do you both good to have some face to face contact while she is in the vet hospital. Please keep us posted on how she is doing. If they will allow it at the vet hospital, you might want to bring an article of clothing you’ve worn, but not yet washed for her to sleep near. It might reassure her to be able to smell a familiar smell. 🙂

AJ, I’m so sorry to hear that Bella’s very sick, indeed. You’ve done the best that you can for her, in getting her to a veterinary college where 24 hr intensive care is available. Hopefully if they’re pushing warmed subcutaneous fluids, keeping her warm, and getting her on the meds she needs, it will help her get past this critically ill stage and into a more stable condition where she can begin the healing process.

I’m sorry to hear of Mylie’s death. I understand you’re in the country; there is a very steep death rate for kittens once they become mobile and start following their mamas to learn about their habitat and hunting. I know it must have hurt you very much to see Mylie die, but I also know that the owl was simply doing what they’re supposed to do. It might have been a somewhat inexperienced owl; more mature owls usually steer clear of cats and kittens as prey, because felines are such fierce fighters.

If Bella recovers, are you planning to have her become an indoor kitty? And do you always supervise your Yorkie outdoors, too? Such small pets as a Yorkie and a kitten less than 8 months old are often considered prey for larger birds of prey, coyotes, foxes, and other predators.

My heart goes out to you. I hope and pray for Bella’s recovery. Don’t hesitate to call the vet’s office to talk with a vet tech or the vet a couple times per day. Bella’s very sick, and they understand your concern.

Hi AJ, I think we all put a lot of trust in our vets! I know I do! Most of the time, I trust but verify! I think when people see a young woman they tend to think they can take advantage of you. My rule of thumb to finding a good vet is, ask animal lovers/breeders in your area to recommend someone. Having a sick animal is scary and stressful. I agree with some previous posts, that you have to keep calling to check progress. You know what they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Good luck and all the best!
