Could Use Some Postive Vibes

[kristen999]

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.

It does sound like the mega-colon. Poor baby. Does the vet have her on a special diet?

*sending more good thoughts*

She is on a wet-food only diet and we give her medicine daily.

But stress triggers the mega-colon and since she's been sick, that hasn't helped.

Thank you for the vibes. *croses fingers*

Getting her to her regular vet ASAP is a good idea - as in when they are open. *nods*

*hugs you both*
