KC went to the vet yesterday and her poor mommy nearly collapsed.
But all is well now.
Thursday morning, KC started having severe difficulty breathing.
Daddy Charley had been really sick all day Wednesday with a stomach flu.
I was so busy cleaning up, mopping, doing laundry and waiting on him.
I had not slept all day since Tuesday p.m. thru Thursday a.m., so I was exhausted.

About 8:00 a.m. Thursday, I could hear the snot trying to move in KC's tiny nose,
but it would not move, something that had never happened before.
but it would not move, something that had never happened before.
She was panicking, and starting to whimper and meow softly,
and that just got to me.
and that just got to me.
I already had her in a vaporizer, and she had taken a decongestant a few hours before;
they had not helped at all. I was close to panic.
I did not realize it, but Thursday was the one day The Houston Cat Hospital opens at 9 a.m.
I called them and got a "we are not open yet, please call an emergency vet" message, which in my "crazed" state just didn't compute.
I put KC in the car and drove 2 miles to a neighborhood vet who is not a cat specialist, but an excellent vet (he was Tazz & Bear's vet) and he has a way with animals.
KC was very quiet on the short trip over, which is unlike her.
The vet was concerned, said she was very sick, but pointed out it is normal in former feral cats where their membranes have been scarred.
He said she will be on daily antibiotics the rest of her life, which corresponds with what Dr. Smith has said.
He requested Dr. Smith's records so that he can coordinate the drugs that KC uses.
His hours are more flexible, he is closer to us,
and will be able to see her on very short notice, maybe even open his office just for KC after hours.
pee ess: KC and I slept 12 hours under the vaporizer last night!!!
Oh, I never got what Daddy Charley got, I guess migraines give me immunity!!!!
And we got A/D and all kitties are very happy!!!

Wow, sounds like a rough week for Mom. Glad KC is doing all right. Never heard of being on antibiotics for the rest of KC's life. Guess she will have to take something else to combat that too.
Thanks for comment about Shelter day Saturdays. That is terrific especially for Black cats.
Please do not worry about an auction for us. There are so many that need it more than we do unless someone gets really sick. Please take care all of you.
Thank goodness KC is OK, that had to be incredibly scary for all of you. Healing purrs to KC, Daddy Charley, & the Mom and some comforting purrs for all of you. ~(Hugs)
We will keep KC in our purrs and prayers. It's so hard when one of the furs isn't well.
You have a lovely clowder of cats! We wanted to thank you for visiting our site yesterday. And Capt. Puff said all of you are welcome to fly on his airship!
Purrs,
Clarissa & Co.
Hi darlin'! Wow, that sounds like quite a day. I hope that everyone is doing better today. Poor little KC! Plus, poor Mommy ML. I know that you are so worried about her. KC will be fine. Please give all of the kitties kisses from their auntie. I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Love, Deb
Oh dear, that all sounds very stressful. Poor little KC! Dora is purring up a storm for you to feel better, she thinks of you as her role model in how to be a tortie with a golden paw!
Checking in to see how KC is doing today. I hope she and Charlie are feeling better. You, if you can ML, need to try and get a little rest yourself. I will send the good throughts and lots of purrs your way.
Oh my sweetest Missy Blue Eyes thank you so much for not leaving your Mom, Dad, and KC's side. Sure glad we had our time together but decided to leave early cause you need your rest too. I pray that all are doing a lot better today and that KC is breathing a lot better. Mom put your Mom's favorite Bible verse on our blog for today. God Bless all of you.
Purrs and Prayers still going up.
Love you,
Casper
Oh, mommie...so many worries and you need to take care of yourself, too. We know we can't come and help cuz we are far away but we send healing thoughts and purrs your way for KC's and Charley's getting back to feeling fine again!
Lots and lots of purrayers and healing vibes headed everyone's way! We are so sorry to hear the KC and daddy Charley are feeling so poorly. We hope very much that they both feel better very soon!
Our mom uses a nebulizer on sick foster kitties and Saylor even had to use it once when she got very, very sick with a URI that lasted a month. It's great to have around. Here is the link: http://catnipkids.homestead.com/nebulizer.html
