Over the summer my kitty Lucybell has been dealing a variety of health issues. She's always had tummy problems, suffering from mega-colon, in which she's on medicine. During the last couple months we have had a horrible time with fleas. She's an indoor kitty, but this summer has been unreal. We bombed the apartment, gave her Frontline , but it was like an all out war. New fleas would invade even if all the others died.

She got a tapeworm as a result of the fleas, (they're carriers apparently) and it took a few weeks to battle that. Between the tapeworm and the fleas she's lost a lot of weight.

The last couple days she hasn't left my side. She won't eat, she looks miserable, and I just have this gut feeling that she's in a bad way.

Hubby is taking her to the vet tomorrow and I would really appreciate it if you guys could send positive vibes this way. She's ten years old, but she’s a robust Maine Coon, and until this, a very vibrant, healthy cat.

Thank you. I'm really scared because she literrly won't leave me and inists on laying her head on my arm or leg. I'd take her to the vet ER but I don't have enough on-hand cash to pay for a taxi since we don't on a car.

*sending good healing vibes*

I worked for a vet for 15 years. Mega-colon can be serious but tapeworms are usually not too serious. How long hasn't she been eating? How's her color? (are her gums pink?)

From: [identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com
Her eyes have been gunky, she hasn't gone to the sandbox in several days which is the mega-colon. We upped her meds. I'm thinking it's the mega-colon acting up with the weight loss making her weak.

All she does is lay there and sleep and look at me with 'sad eyes' which I know sounds silly.

She's gone from eating normally to eating very little for a few days to not eating starting Saturday night.

I'm hoping we get eek by until Monday when the vet opens.

Wishing all of you good things. I know first hand what it like to have a sick pet and just want to make them better. Lots of snuggling helps a bit.

I'm not discounting your concerns, but I can tell you that fleas alone can really make an animal miserable and unthrifty. The constant scratching can make them lose a lot of weight too--more than you realize.

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing Frontline doing the job any more. This summer I've had a ton of clients with break-through flea infestations despite using Frontline monthly. I've been telling clients to switch to Advantage for indoor cats--at the very least until the end of the flea season.

Hopefully, there is nothing more serious going on than that. *fingers crossed*

Does she still have fleas? I know they can make cats anemic.

I'm sending positive healing thoughts, that everything will turn out okay! Good luck!
