has not been very good around here lately.
Tabitha Cat is very ill, has been in hospital at the vet's for the last 3 days and will be in there at least over the weekend, if not longer.
She came in with what seemed to be a bite wound on her leg last weekend - but despite prompt attention from us and then prompt treatment from our vet it has developed into a major infection. The regime of antibiotic iv drip and dressings is only just maintaining the status quo - she is not improving at all.
We are waiting for the results of tissue biopsy tests on Monday, to see where we go from here.
Tom Cat ( her brother) and Cassi (her bff) are lost without her and are wandering around, looking mournful.
So, good positive thoughts please for Tabitha

Aww, thats awful. I hope she's better soon.
Thank you, Millie. Nice to see you visiting!
Oh, how terrible. I do hope she comes around quickly. Do you have any idea what bit her?

Well, we only have one venemous snake in the UK - the Adder - and it was nothing like that, so we think it was rat or dog/cat BUT the continued erruption of other spots/abbcesses over the last week, where none were before, is the tricky issue....hence the biopsies...
All very worrying ....so just hoping and praying, here.
hope all goes well for Tabitha and that she turns the corner this weekend
Oh no, I'm so sorry. Fond and positive thoughts for little Tabitha.
Thank you , both. We are waiting for lab results on Mon, to see if it is a fungal infestation..........
Get well soon Tabitha.
Hope Tabitha stays strong and pulls through. It might be that being at a status quo means that she'll be getting ready to get better... sometimes it can take a while for the antibiotics to really kick in and get going. My Mum;s 18 year old cat had a pretty chronic infection which took 2 courses of antibiotics to fix. But he got there! Sending lots of positive vibes xx
Aw that's terrible, I hope Tabitha Cat is feeling better soon.
Fingers crossed for Tabitha xxx Hazel(WH)
