Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005While we are on a downer....
The Yowlet has croup. The reason I'm up at 4am is that his barking cough is keeping me awake because I am worried about him. I'm sure he'll survive and be fine, after all, croup is just one of those childhood diseases these days and is rarely anything more than a scary sounding cough. But like any Mum, espeically a "new" one, I'm still worried about my little guy. On top of that, I lost my car key today. Not my *keys*, just my stupid car key. I must have lost it between the car park at work and my office, but I retraced my steps twice, and thoroughly searched my office, but no key. Nor had it been handed in to security. Why anyone would keep a car key with no indentification on it is beyond me, because would quite obviously be a key of one of their co-workers. Its one of those stupid ones with a chip in it and I can't just get our spare copied - I need to get a replacement with the proper programming of the chip. I am still absolutely boggled how I could lose a single *key* when I never ever remove any of them from my keyring. *sigh* D*mn, I can't wait for this week to be over. Yowie > The Yowlet has croup.

You said you never remove it from key ring, so is there any way that someone at the office could have removed it? Were your keys left at your desk while you were away for awhile, and do others have access? This could be a concern, and you might be wise to have the lock reprogrammed when you order another key. I do realize that those keys are expensive, but I think the other key(s) could be reprogrammed to match whatever change is made. In fact, you usually have to leave all keys and have them programmed simultaneously. It's not as simple as just having one key worked on. Of course, all of this is a moot point if you have one of those key rings where individual keys are on "toggle" connections. In that case, it really would be possible for a single key to fall off (and then you should dump your purse upside down and completely empty the contents, in case the key worked its way into the lining). MaryL <<<hugs>>>, Yowie. Just the week's yukkiness spreading. Hope you the key soon, or that someone turns it in.

The peds always said to get him outside in cool moist air. I would bring him home from the hospital, open the windows in winter and stick on the humidifier and that gave him relief. The key is very weird. Susan M Otis and Chester > The Yowlet has croup. The reason I'm up at 4am is that his barking cough > is keeping me awake because I am worried about him.

I'm sure he'll be fine, but that doesn't make you feel any better when he is sick. Sorry about the key. That really sucks :( I hope you find it. > The Yowlet has croup.

My son had croup when he was about six months old. He was hospitalized for a couple of days. I'm not sure if they gave him antibiotics. I think the main thing they did for him was to put him in a sort of tent with a humidifier going. Maybe you could improvise something like that for the Yowlet.

But like any Mum, > espeically a "new" one, I'm still worried about my little guy. My brother used to get croup when he was little. Mum used to fill a kettle with water and boil it in the bedroom (away from the bed) with the door closed, deliberately keeping it boiling so plenty of steam came out for ages, and that added humidity to the air easing the dry cough. Don't know if that might help a little? Purrs for Cary to get better soon and his Mum's frazzled nerves to be calmed- and key to turn up!! Deb.

Since we're in mega-purr generating mode, we'll just amp it up another notch for you to Yowie. I hope Cary is feeling better very soon! Hugs, CatNipped ((((Yowie)))) -- I'm sorry about how hard it is for you nowadays -- I do remember croup with both my kids; I remember taking Celeste, in particular, into a steamy bathroom in the middle of the winter night and then wrapping her in blankets and sitting out on the front steps to let the cold air open up her airways -- there were a lot of star-gazing nights. Many purrs from us that Cary recovers well and quickly from his illness. Many hugs from us for you to help cope with that damnable lack of sleep and all the little daily problems that seem to build up so quickly. Christine > The Yowlet has croup.

I was immediately struck by the possibility that the key could have been taken by someone in the office, and I focused exclusively on that. I didn't even refer to the part of the your message that is much more important -- that is, Cary's health. I do hope he is doing better now. MaryL Yowie...as someone posted, warm moisture to your Yowlet's lungs will be of some help for his comfort. I dunno what the deal is in OZ, but in USA dealers usually include *two*factory-coded keys when you buy the car (natch I have no idea whether you drive a USA- made car or whether this is the way things go where you are!) Anyway, either ask Joel if he didn't put away the *other* coded key or if he can't recall, call the local dealer. Here those keys, duplicated w/factory coding, are on the high side of $200. I have been through this w/Ford (and no comments re the fake cat beheading tv commercial: that is so last year.....). Hope to have been of help & meatloaf meds for your boy. >> The Yowlet has croup.

Not my *keys*, just my stupid car Yowie, Croup is scary. I remember how that feels to be up at 4 am just to make sure the Molly was breathing. I knew she was, but I just *HAD* to keep checking. The good thing is that is relatively short lived. I hope you find the key. I live in constant fear that DH and I will lose ours. At least he has a spare to mine. We don't have an extra for his, and yes, it is the chipped kind. Purrs, hugs, and doggie drool for all of you. Diane >The Yowlet has croup.

But like any Mum, >espeically a "new" one, I'm still worried about my little guy. Frogmella had croup about five months ago. It was no big deal; it just sounded *awful*. It wasn't serious and it didn't need any treatment. And it seamlessly segued, on the third day, into yet another of her fortnight-long cough-fests. Sorry I have no advice for you on dealing with it. The lack of sleep thing is a complete sod, innit? That thing with the key is very strange. SignatureMogget > >The Yowlet has croup.

Talking about gettinge nough sleep sleep to a new parent is like talking about a night long bombastic orgy to a person suffering from involutary celibacy. And I used to wonder why 40% of the adult population were chronically sleep deprived.

I have to plead guilty here. Charlie did most of the night time getting up. My daughter and I visited my Mom for two weeks when Vicki was six months old. I came home exhausted from doing all the getting up myself. Not that Mom wasn't up too, but I didn't want her thinking I wasn't/. >>> The Yowlet has croup.

When Froggie was recently born, I had this leaflet that said "it is essential for every new mother to have a rest and put her feet up every afternoon while the baby naps". I threw it across the room & sobbed uncontrollably. How is the Yowlet's croup, and are you getting any sleep yet? SignatureMogget > >> Sorry I have no advice for you on dealing with it.

He's still got a little bit of a cough, but its a *little* cough and only happens as he's waking up.

But like any Mum, > espeically a "new" one, I'm still worried about my little guy. Its aqmazing. The doctor said there was nothing much we could do for croup, but I followed people's advice form here, and stuck Cary in the bathroom with me while Ihad a shower. 10 minutes of steam therapy later, and its gone from a really bad seal-barking cough that kept him (and me) awake at night to a regular chldhood occasional cough.

I didn't put the keys in my handbag/purse/pocketbook, I just carried my wallet/purse and keys into work that afternoon. > Charlie lost his car key too and I just know the danged thing will turn up > as soon as I pay for a replacement. The key was found just as soon as I had lost it, in the corridor outside my office. But instead of sending an e-mail around to ask if anyone had lost a key, the person who found it left it next to the visitor's sign in book. Not being a visitor, I didn't even think of looking there! But I have the key back now, and Cary is still being the mad monkey-butt that he usually is, so alls well that ends well, at least for me.
