Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Berfert is really ill :-(
Berfert stopped eating today, so we rushed him into TED. Turns out that the Berf probably has either bacterial or fungal pneumonia. There was a small lump in his lungs that TED said could be from all the fluid on the baby's lungs, but he suspects cancer. Berfert was also severely dehydrated and had to have an IV infusion today and go in tomorrow for another one. He has rallied enough from the first infusion to be able to hide under the bed and require two people to get him out from under there. I'll be honest, I'm worried. I also have a huge soft spot for the Berf. He was my bad boy before Pine Cone came in and took over the role. He used to sucker the other cats into no-win situations and then sit on the sidelines and laugh at them. I hope that he's going to be all right. Folks, I could really use some purrs and prayers for the Berf to feel better. We really love the little guy. Pam S. > Folks, I could really use some purrs and prayers for the Berf to feel > better.

I know they helped me feel better after my surgery, so I'll redirect their healing efforts in Berferts' direction *and* yours. Hopefully the rehydration will help spur his appetite and help give him the energy to fight off the pneumonia.

He's a really good TED, but not as up on the latest procedures as I'd like. There's just so much new stuff going on that it's almost impossible for a generalist TED to keep up with it all. The cats all feel comfortable with him (except Pine Cone, and he likes the woman TED that works there) and he really cares about the cats. I really appreciate the purrs and prayers going out for Berfert. I've been telling Mike about them, and plan to print them off for him to have. I have also been reading them to Berfert. I'm hoping that he gets the hint. Pam S. Hi, I hope Berfert has a full recovery. Fuga was really sick a month ago so I know how you are feeling. Once he's home with you hopefully he will start to feel better and eat on his own. Hugs, Fuga > Berfert stopped eating today, so we rushed him into TED.

In humans, at least, X-ray shadows in the lung can be an aftereffect of histoplasmosis infections (see http://www.lung.ca/diseases/histoplasmosis.html). This is a fungal infection, spread mostly by the dust from bird droppings. The lungs develop calcium deposits surrounding the infections, which then show up on X-rays for the rest of the patient's life. I have such a shadow in one of my lungs. It was discovered during a chest X-ray about five years ago. Since I have never smoked, the doctor decided to wait and make a couple more X-rays over the next year, rather than operate immediately. The spot has never changed size or shape, indicating that it is probably a calcium deposit, not a tumor of any kind.
