We are once again on the cusp of the incubation period and Jedi is now showing signs of panleuk. 🙁 I have her isolated and will take care of her to the best of my ability here at home. I can’t turn her over to the vet like I did with Bentley, the funds are just not there. She has been vaccinated TWICE so this is really hissing me off. This strain is super hot. I pray she won’t succumb but time will tell. I was just starting to breathe again too- 🙁
Blast the cost! I just rushed her to the vet and dropped her off after she projectile vomited all over the cage. 🙁 I’ll figure out a way to cover it somehow. It’s Jedi Knight after all.
The vet just called and we talked about what this might be (without even speaking the D word) I have decided to go for the high-end lab test (fecal) It is expensive (of course) but not nearly as much as isolation and care would be. It will test for EVERYTHING and all the results will be within 4 days. It is more accurate than the snap test when it comes to distemper. They will keep her until all the results come in and then we will go from there. Please pray for her- they do have her in strict isolation and that is never easy on any kitten especially those who have already been abandoned.
Good for you. My fingers were crossed that you’d change your mind. Both for Jedi, and for the horrid case of “if only” you’d otherwise get.
Now my fingers are crossed for Jedi. Even with a super hot strain of the disease her two vaccinations have to help.
I hope that Jedi will be back with you very soon, and not need to see the inside of another hospital. She knows she’ll come home and has that to look forward to.
Oh, wow, no. Sending our best healing purrrrrrsss and comforting purrrrayers for Jedi Knight. Hang in there, kittie.
