My baby, Galileo, started coughing on Saturday. I planned on calling the vets this morning to see if they could get us in sometime today. Well, Gali’s breathing at 2:30 this morning woke me up. He sounded like he was snoring loudly. I pet him so he would wake up but his eyes were already open. Of course, I started to panic… his ears were hot like an oven, he was weak, and lethargic. I didn’t sleep very well after that.

Made a call to the vet at 8:00 and they called me back to say bring him right in. This was at 10:00. It’s now 1:40 and we just got home. Xrays were taken, blood drawn, fluids given, antibiotics… a must with a cat with 105 fever. The $300.00 diagnosis is pneumonia or a very long distance chance of it being heart worm.

Can I ask for a few spare prayers for my soul cat? I’m a nervous wreck at the possibility of it being heart worm. There is no treatment for that. He’s never been outside but a mosquito could have brought it in my apartment. Please keep him in your thoughts… I’d be devastated if this long shot chance was really the correct diagnosis. Even if it’s not heart worm, pneumonia is very bad in cats. The vet said it’s touch and go for at least the next 24 hours.

Thanks in advance… I have to keep it together and get back to work now. I really just want to stay home to watch him but I don’t have many days left since I’ve been sick so much this year. I love you guys and know TDK white light will help him pull though this.

Thanks, Ky Kat. Me too! I really just want to stay home to monitor him but work just called to ask where I was. Trying to change the picture so you all can see what he looks like…

Thank you, Cheri! I’ve been keeping Velvet in mine, too.

Hope this worked… I changed the picture for my gravatar… You should see an all black kitty.

Oh Cathi this is heartbreaking! Prayers for Galileo to have restored health. Heartworm requires arsenic treatment, which is just as dangerous. Prayers for you Cathi as you wait to hear a diagnosis. Galileo is strong and has lots of love–stay positive. He will recover and be with you a long time!

Soxsmom, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m in tears right now because I feel like I let him down. I should have taken him to the emergency vet on Saturday. I know no good comes from a coughing cat. Money has been more than tight since April-May. That’s when I discontinued the heart worm prevention. So if he’s sick, it’s all my fault. 🙁

Wait a minute Cathi you could not have know it was that serious. Please do not think that way. You do not know it is heartworm, so please don’t think that. He was on heartworm prevention before and when he is healthy he can go back. Prayers of comfort and strength to you. Prayers that the vet will help restore Galileo to proper health. He is a beauty Cathi!

{{{Cathi & Galileo}}} My kitty used to get a very scarey cough, congestion and temperature that would scare the daylights out of me. It would come on suddenly and out of nowhere. It seems like it always happened on a weekend too. The vet used to prescribe a medicine called droncit and within a few hours she returned to normal but those symptoms seemed very severe. Prayers for Galileo’s health and well being and prayers that your stress from worrying about your furrbaby is resolved very soon.
