I know what you mean - I get so nervous from the night or day before the appointment, and can't sleep because I know it's going to stress my babies out so much!!
I just had to take one of my very very first feral in US, Hannibal to the vet - I just wrapped him with a huge blanket over him and put him in a carrier - but he did very well - poor baby - he had been urinating with blood - and he was in such a pain and he almost blocked! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MacKenzie, Kerry N.

Then they have to be held down. I dread the next time! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wolf, Leah R.

Yes, that is why the vet wants to hear from me again. Kerry, it's not only the ferals who don't like being messed with! Mikey was most unhappy about having his temperature taken twice. His little claws are as sharp as needles. Leah [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of MacKenzie, Kerry N.

Did he get fluids to hydrate him, or is that partly why the vet wants to hear from you tomorrow--to see if he's drinking again? I'm still learning, and I've never used Flocillin or Dypivone (but I've given plenty fluids -- NO fun at all when they're feral as my FeLV brood are).

The vet gave Mikey a thorough physical examination and stool check and found nothing organically wrong with him. He told me that it is typical of the positive condition for a cat to run a high fever from time to time, on the order of a roller coaster effect. The lack of appetite and energy are direct results. He gave him shots of Flocillin and Dypivone, along with Clovamax drops for me to administer for the next 7 days. He directed me to call him in 24 to 36 hours to let him know how Mikey is doing. I am glad that I didn't wait any longer to take him to the vet since he was beginning to become dehydrated and had lost a pound and a half in the past two weeks, which is a lot for a nine pound cat.

I hope the vet had some ways to help him, and he feels better very soon. When you get time, let us know how he's doing.

(I took him to the vet earlier this afternoon--wonderful man!)
