Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Harry Roadcat update - it's looking grim
I finally got to talk to the vet about 45 minutes ago. Harri did survive te night, and she is breathing more easily thanks to massive doses of antibiotics and steroids. However, the x-rays show that both of her lungs are partially collapsed. The vet has no idea what would have caused this, and he has done all he can for her. He has referred us to a specialist in Orange County. I was out in Orange County when he called me, so I'm going to be putting in a lot of miles today (it's about a 3 hour round trip). I stopped at home just long enough for a bathroom break and to update everyone. As soon as I hit the "Send" button I'll be hopping in the car, going to pick up Nancy at work, and picking up Harri at the vet and making a high-speed run to Orange County. I'm glad Nancy is coming, since I'm going to want to hold Harri and I got no sleep last night so my reaction time is kind of slow. After the specialist looks at Harri's x-rays and lab results he should be able to tell us if Harri has a reasonable chance to survive. For the rest of today your purrs and prayers would be more welcome than ever before. With a little luck, by 3:30 or 4:00 Pacific time I'll be learning if my little sweet baby will live or die. In addition to purrs for Harri's health, we could also use financial purrs. That Nancy's idiot boss will release her to her new job (that pays 30% more than her current one), that I'll find a job, that the insurance company will pay off on my totaled pickup quickly, and that the specialist will take payments.

SignatureChristine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 We will continue to send purrs for little Harri as well as you and Nancy in your job searches and although you might not hear from me I'll be thinking of you and Nancy and your entire furry family (we're heading to Wisconsin tonight). I wish there was some way we could help out with the vet bills but Hobbes is running up his own bills, however, we have more than enough purrs for both your family, mine, Ginger-lynn, Jean, Tweed and everyone else that needs them right now, so soak them up as you need them.

I hope that Specialist will pull Harri through, and that he/she understands that while wallets have limitations, love does not. Further purrs, and a few butt scratches that Nancy's boss will release her so she can start earning the money you both deserve. Purring hard that your insurance company will also come through with the settlement on your truck. Harri Roadcat has just GOT to pull through!

SignatureShirley http://community.webshots.com/user/shirleycatuk Poor Dan & Nancy, poor Harri. Lots of purrs and prayers for everything you need to get through this. Don't let money be an issue if her treatment is expensive, go ahead and okay it. The money or the means to pay it will come from somewhere, mine always did even when things seemed a bit hopeless. If you mail me your address I will send you a bit to help, you can decide yourself whether to put it towards the vet or the specialist bill. Bad luck often seems to feed on itself somehow things always happen when you can least take it, or afford it, one disaster on top of the other. It's happening to Ginger-lyn, to me, and now you. This is a powerful group. I am sure we all feel like we know you and sweet little Harri, I know I do. I am also sure that we can as a group, help you out financially at this time towards Harri's urgent medical care even though it looks like the expense might be scary. lots of hugs Tweed, KFC & BF (sweltering in a heatwave in the UK) >I finally got to talk to the vet about 45 minutes ago.
