To Vet or Not to Vet…That is the Question

Tripp has been declining lately. It started with vomiting white foam, which led to him not eating and running high fevers 105.9 this morning. I could take him to the vet, but I know the routine. They would give him fluids (which I have done) they would give him anti-nausea meds (which I have here already) and they would start him on antibiotics. So, I have done all of that and more. His temp is now 103.9 F but he is just flat. He is depressed and he is confined to the bedroom where I hope he will start feeling better soon. He is drinking water (which is a wonderful sign because it rules out distemper) He’s had a tepid bath and is sleeping right now. I was up and down with him all night as he vomited most of the morning away. he has turned down, tuna, baby food and baked chicken- so I went and got him some kitty krack (fancy feast) and thankfully, he is eating that little by little. I will keep track of his fever but hope by tomorrow afternoon he is a bit brighter than he appears now. It came on so suddenly- he is Mike’s kitty so my fingers are crossed that he can return to Mike’s lap soon.

  1. I think you are doing all that any veterinary would do. Unless there is something you can’t do for Tripp, you may as well save you the money and Tripp the stress of a hospital visit. The poor guy I hope to read good news soon.
