Poor Radar, he just wasn't being himself, just being totally lethargic and then Rick tried to touch him and he hissed. He didn't want his stomach touched and he let me get close but still he would brely move his hear. So we called Kenda's house to get the name and phone number of her vet, she's at work so her DH answered.



Well Radar had a fever of 105!!! He doc could not tell just how serious it was and is hoping that it will resolve itself with antibiotics. He gave him a shot, a baby aspirin and something by mouth and sent us home with 21 little seringes full of stuff to give to him by mouth; one every morning. If he's not better by tomorrow though, we'll have to take him back on Monday for x-rays and tests. :( Let's just pray this does the trick. There is an



80% chance that this is all it will take. But then the odds go down alot. If he isn't better then there is a 50/50 that he will get better with more drastic treatments. I don't even want to think about the other 50%. I love my Radar. He was born with me right there and he's travelled from Montreal to Ottawa to Houston to Gulfport, MS to Tampa Bay and now to Arkansas. He just has to get better...

Sorry to hear about Radar both of my furbabies are also sick right now! Rainbow has a urinary tract infection-pees blood. Now Leo has a bone disease he can barely walk. He's on medication and they hope by Monday he will be a bit better. He has to go through some water therapy next week so it should be an interesting one. Good luck with Radar! Barb:o)

Oh M-C! Please keep me posted on how Radar is doing. I hope you were comfortable with Dr. B. He puts me at ease with our babies, all 8 of them. I'll keep little Radar in my prayers.

Kenda

Barb, I will also keep your babies in my prayers. Poor babies! Let us know how they are doing.

Kenda

Tigger & I are sending healing thoughts Radar's way & wishing him a speedy recovery!

Alicia (& Tigger)

Sending good thoughts to Rainbow & Leo for speedy recoveries for them, too!

I'm guessing Leo is a dog? Water therapy for a cat is something I wouldn't want to be the therapist for.

Alicia

Good luck with your furbabies too. Water therapy?!?!?! Bring your camera!!! Poor kitty, nice kitty, ouch!!!

M-C

I will Kenda. I know that you have a soft spot for Radar. Now do I tell my DS or wait to see if Radar is better tomorrow. Think I'll wait!

M-C

Thanks Alicia and pet Tiger thanks too.

Thanks Arleen. I've never seen Radar hiss and scratch and try to bite anyone before. Poor baby!!!

Poor Radar! Sending prayers and healing thoughts his way. Please keep us updated. He is a sweet kitty. Jacqui

I hope Radar gets better quickly! Its sad when there is not a lot you can do to make them feel better!

Ahhh M-C when I read your message I prayed it wasn't Radar I know how much you love'um. I'm praying this treatment will work and he'll be back to normal soon.

Oh Barb I'm so sorry to hear about your poor furbabies too. My little Marie is on a 2nd course of antibiotics for a possible urinary tract infection. She suddenly went incontinent. She's now in a diaper 24/7 and we're trying to figure out what's wrong. Everything from a bladder infection cancer has been hypothesized. I'm saying prayers for all our furbabies.

I would wait.....just to see what happens. How is he feeling today?

Oh M-C, I am saying lots of prayers for your little Radar. You know how I feel,having just lost my little 21 year old furbaby. My heart hurts for you. Hoping he gets better soon. Hugs, Sab

Barb, I hope you little furbabies get well soon ,too. I know how much we all worry over our pets. They are such wonderful little companions. Hugs, Sab

Oh Wow MC!! After I posted my upsets, now I read yours. Tears of sadness and hope are for you and Rick, since he is more Radar's!

I hope he is doing better and know he is getting all the attention he needs especally since Kenda and Deb are there to help also!!
