Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Harri Roadcat is terribly sick
A few days ago I noticed Harri doing some coughing. She stopped after a minute or so and it didn't repeat. Yesterday she had another coughing fit, and that concerned me. She has also been a little bit listless and lethargic. When I got back from my doctor appointment this afternoon I saw that Harri has breathing very heavily, and she hadn't been doing anything strenuous. By this time it was getting near 4 PM, and her usual vet is over an hour's drive away at this time of day. I did some quick research and located a vet in nearby Redlands, and remembered that I have heard good things about that vet. I had the feeling that Harri needed to see the vet immediately, and that waiting until tomorrow might not be a good idea. I loaded Harri into the carrier and we made the fastest trip to Redlands we've ever done. The vet looked her over and found that she has a very high temperature. When he listened to her breathing he found that she at least has a very advanced case of pneumonia, and might have a collapsed lung. He did mention that if I had waited til tomorrow, I probably would have had a dead kitty. The vet is reasonably sure that Harri will survive. She's spending the night at the vet, getting IV fluids, antibiotics, and steroids. She's also getting a lot of blood work done, and is getting some x-rays taken. I'll find out about 10:00 AM tomorrow what the lab work shows. The vet's assistant went over the vet's treatment plan before I left. Turns out that Harri's treatment ought to cost almost exactly the amount of my short-term disability checks for the last two weeks :( Anyhow, purrs for Harri's recovery would be greatly appreciated. > A few days ago I noticed Harri doing some coughing.

You got all the purrs you need from here in England, both for her recovery and for the money to pay for it. Have faith. If you have, somehow there will be enough money for her vet's treatment and for you to get through. Don't ask me how it works. It does. It has for me, anyway.

I would be very happy for the leftover money for my flowers to go towards Harri's vet bill. My flowers were beautiful, I hope you all saw the pic of them. Now Harri needs the money.

With > my relativelypoor financial discipline I would never make it! But purrs > and prayers are needed now more than anything else. Many of us get paid just once a month. It was difficult in the beginning, but I simply developed a system in which I realized that "I won't have any more money next week than I have this week," so I plan my payments and expenses around that one pay date -- regardless of when the payments are actually due. I also try to schedule large payments (mortgage, car) so they are due about a week after I am paid. That way, the largest payments come out first; but the week's time allows some leeway for mail when I am on vacation. MaryL >> I can't imagine what it would be like getting paid only once a >> month.

I'd get my check at the end of the month and, like you, would immediately pay all the bills regardless of the due date and hit the grocery store. I found myself spending less of my "disposable income" when I was paid monthly than I did if I knew I was going to get a check in another week or so.

How many cats named Harri can there by in the vet clinic at the same time? It is not as if Harri is a very common cat's name. Sound like the vet tech is entirely clueless or she is new. Of course if your cat is a frequent visitor at the vet's like Rusty is, you don't need a last name. Everybody there knows Rusty and his problems over the past 10 years.

Dan, if you'll post your vet's name and phone number we could call in credit card payments (I've done so a number of times and there was never a problem). Ten or twenty bucks is about the cost of just one lunch - but when twenty or thirty people contribute just that much it adds up quite quickly and can help someone out of a bad spot.

Dan did include information in an earlier response to Victor, and I plan to send a donation as soon as I hear from him. I'm only waiting for a reply in case Harri is moved to Dan's regular vet, but I'll send a donation to the address below if I don't hear soon. Here is the information Dan included in the earlier message: Animal Medical Cener of Redlands Dr. Louis T Burch 340 North 6th Street Redlands, CA 92374 909-793-1499 909-793-4775 909-335-9369 fax MaryL >>> I'll find out about 10:00 AM tomorrow what the lab work shows. >>> [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > MaryL I notice you included Dan's typo in the word center. ;-) Still purring for Harri, she's in the right place and she's young.

Dan and Harri, I've only just read your post about Harri Roadcat and I am sending very concentrated positive thoughts your way. Hobbes, Selena, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus send their most rumbly purrs that she recovers from this quickly and with no lasting complications. Gentle headbutts and scritches as well for her and headbutts for you and Nancy as well. I know how frightening it can be when you see your baby gasping for breath.

Tons of purrs are on the way. Dan, if you'll post your vet's name and phone number I can call in a few bucks on my credit card - it won't be much, but if others do too it can add up quickly. I never mind doing this, I don't even notice the small payment - and I might be in the same boat one day and need the help myself. Hugs, CatNipped I called the vet just now to make a donation. They've aready gotten two more and they're very touched that people care enough to do this. :) They didn't have the lab results yet, but the lady said Harri is still having difficulty breathing, so keep the purrs coming!

Responses, not just Victor, but all who have offered to help, like this just prove how great this group is!

This group has been fantastic so many times for so many people. I don't know if I'll ever be able to say how grateful I've been for all the monetary help and the love shown by you all. You just make me want to cry in gratitude. Pam S. with tears in her eyes again Monty is purring; he's good at that. Dan, is Harri at the animal hospital on Colton between New York and Tennessee? If so, yes, they're excellent, and are where Monty has his quarterly blood tests. If I (the other local hooman...) can help, please let me know. -- Emc^2 > Monty is purring; he's good at that. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -- Emc^2 Thanks! Harri is in the animal hospital on 6th between Pearl and Redlands Blvd. > Anyhow, purrs for Harri's recovery would be greatly appreciated. Dan, I am sending a $50.00 donation (credit card via telephone confirmation) for Harri. You mentioned that you could not use Harri's regular vet, so I sent email to you to confirm that Harri was not being moved to another facility but haven't received a response. That's really not surprising because you probably have your hands too full right now to worry about email, so I'll use the phone number you provided in another message. All of us are wishing for very good news about Harri. MaryL >A few days ago I noticed Harri doing some coughing. She stopped after a >minute or so and it didn't repeat.
