BACK FROM THE VET-COTTON

Cotton had a long hour at the vet, so she ended up going back to work with me.   What a good girl she has been.  They took her blood and ran some tests.  One thing they found is that she has a very high temp for a kitten....it was 104.5.   So the first thing they did was to give her a shot to help bring down her temp and to send us home with antibiotic's twice a day.

From what blood work they have gotten back they know it has nothing to do with ingesting something poison so that is good.  The vet said if it is something viral we should see a difference in her behavior by tomorrow or the weekend for sure.  The temp should go down and she should begin to eat etc.

There are a couple of things though that kittens can have and there is no medicine that will cure it.  If she does not get better, she will be tested on Monday for that.   We will just cross that bridge if we have too.  We are praying it is a viral bug and she will be her normal rotten self very soon.

Thank you for all your good thoughts and prayers.  Cotton and her family.


p.s. Dad has to go back to the wacko doc tomorrow so mom won't be on here much until Monday.  If something changes though we will let you know.
