Sending positive healing vibes for your sweet Allie, Jennifer.
And wonderful that you know now how to give her subQs---well done. That will
help so much to keep her comfortable. You are both in my thoughts, hugs,
Kerry

Subject: Prayers for Allie
Allie was back at the vet today with 105 fever- came down to
102.5 with Metacam (kitty NSAID) and sq fluids. I did get the vet to
show me how to give the sq fluids, so I can administer them now if she stops
eating and drinking and looks dehydrated, or if her temp goes up (I've been
monitoring her temp daily). They were also thinking of giving me some
Metacam to administer at home, but decided to hold off on that.
This is her 3rd temp spike in 2 weeks. The vet was prepping me for the
fact that at some point Allie's body is not going to be able to tolerate these
temps anymore and is not going to fight them off even with treatments because
the fevers are causing such a stress on her system. Of course we don't
know if that will be a week or a month, but it looks like it may be sooner
than I thought. It's so hard because 2 days ago she was totally back to
herself- eating great, playing, and she even sleep with us! I guess the
calm before the storm... Keep her in your thoughts. I don't want
her to suffer, but I'm not ready to say good-bye yet either! I'm still
hoping she can beat these fevers, but that's not looking realistic anymore and
I don't want to torture her...
