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.

Good vibes...good vibes...good vibes.....did you get them?
I really hope kitty is feeling better. This summer I too have had horrendous problems with fleas for my two little jack russels. The fine-haired one scrathed all his fur off round his tail right enough to make himself bleed! It's terrible to see them so uncomfortable isn't it?
My vet explained that the colder weather of winter will kill the fleas....for once I'm saying 'roll on winter'.
Fingers and toes crossed for kitty Lucybell.....even my pups send a lick and a wag of their tails to her.
Let us know how she gets on hon.
