Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2005Brando's sick
As I write this, my beloved big wonderful former feral baby, Brando, is at the vet's. He had some blood in his urine, and terrible diarrhea over 24 hours, so we took him into the vet yesterday. They wanted to keep him overnight to get a urine sample. I called them today, and they aren't sure what exactly is wrong. They think he may have some mild infection of the urinary system, so they are sending antibiotics home with him. They couldn't see any crystals, which is good (some of you may remember, Brando has a tendency to block, and once blocked completely). They are thinking the diarrhea may be temporary (he was fine this morning, apparently), possibly brought on by stress from Kate and Jack running around (although Brando likes other cats, so I'm not sure that's it). But, anyway, that problem seems to have stopped for now. The other possibility is that he may have gotten into something he shouldn't have, but I can't imagine what, since nothing is new around here that hasn't been here for years. A friend and neighbor is going to bring him home, since she works very close to the vet's and lives close to us and we, of course, would have to take the bus otherwise. I can't wait for him to be home! I miss my special Little Big Man. I hope this is something temporary, and he will be fine. To top off the day, the landlord hired some folks to clean out the furnace ducts. Which is normally a "YAY!", considering they haven't been cleaned in at least 20 years, and with all the asthma and emphysema and dust allergies around here, it should make a big difference. But have you tried moving around eight cats, sticking them in one room and then another, so the big guys with big shoes and big hoses and loud noises can do this thing? Now I think *all* the cats are traumatized! At least Brando was peacefully at the vet's at the time! Fun, fun, fun. I think I am going to repeal the year of 2005.

I can't give it accurately, but the gist is something like this: Life is hard. Once you realize and accept this, life gets easier. Purrs that it will for you and yours.

May the new year be kind and gentle to you both and to your wonderful family of cats. Here is hoping that your Special Guy, Brando, comes home and gets better quickly (after the big men in the boots do the cleaning)!

Purrs and prayers for Brando to get healed soon. I really hope it is some minor thing. Poor boy.

Purrs for all of your guys. And for Brando. I went through this recently with the ducts being cleaned and put everyone in my bedroom. The duct cleaners were able to clean it out from below. However, I wasn't satisfied because the guy in charge said the duct was in one place, but I knew there was a vent near the window. He had one of his workers take a high-powered vaccum cleaner into the room (it didn't have a hose that ran outside, so he could shut the door behind him) and vaccum it out that way. It was loud, but all the furries got over it as soon as they left. SignatureCheryl > As I write this, my beloved big wonderful former feral baby, Brando, > is at the vet's.

I hope he's OK, or that whatever is ailing him is easily treated. Purrs for a quick recovery! Joyce > As I write this, my beloved big wonderful former feral baby, Brando, > is at the vet's.

Oh no - I hope that they can sort him out ASAP and that he's feeling better right away. Purrs for you and Brando. Susan M Otis and chester Purrs for poor Brando.

Helen M My big guy came home yesterday, and stuck to me like glue most of the night. We were both so happy to be back with each other :-) I am giving him antibiotics, 1/2 pill twice a day (they're very pretty purple pills -- lol!). He is not too thrilled with this invasion, but he is tolerating it as best he can. They are hoping the antibiotics will clear up the problem; if not, we are looking at more testing and such. The Big Men in the Big Boots did their job and left. Now it smells *really* weird in here. They say it's because all the dust and dirt is gone, the corrosion is exposed, so we will be smelling that smell for a few days. Fun! The cats pretty quickly got over the trauma, and were back to their usual silliness in no time. Silly Merlyn simply would not come out of the one room, but she is so high-strung I figured she wouldn't come out of her hiding place and go anywhere near the Big Men in Big Boots. And she didn't. Hopefully Brando's antibiotics will do the trick. He was such a big, lovey snuggle-bunny last night. We must have laid in bed and snuggled and petted and purred for a couple of good hours at least. I love that guy to pieces. Thanks for all the purrs and good wishes. You guys are the best!

I don't know if I would ever notice blood in the urine - everything in the litterbox just looks like gray clumps to me.

Aww, I'm glad he's home with you GL. Purrs for him to tolerate the pills and get to feeling much better.
