Poor Fluffy has been in the vets overnight.


Had an emergency call to the vets last night as Fluffy was really off colour, refusing to eat or drink and just hiding away and very hot, when she went to her tray she just stood and urinated over the side which was definetly not her.

So panic call to the vets and rushed her down to the vets where her temperature was 107 and she was very poorly, diagnosis mastitus. The vet administered some strong antibiotics and anti-inflamitories and requested that she keep her in overnight. A while later the vet phoned to say that her temperature had come down a little but she felt that it might be better to put her on a drip which she did with not bother from Fluffy. This appeared to help as within another hour her temperature was down a good bit.

Fluffy stayed on the drip all day, she had a little to eat and drink during the night but lay still all day, poor little mite. Anyway we picked her up at teatime still very quiet as we talk but she has been through a lot in her 5 days with us, hopefully this will all get better before the weekend, she is back to the vets on Friday unless of course she stays off colour then she will be straight back down.

Here's hoping for her speedy recovery as she has been doing so well.

Re: Poor Fluffy has been in the vets overnight.


Unfortunately Fluffy is back in the vets tonight for another overnight stay as she was just far from being right, she appeared a lot happier when we brought her home, had a little to eat and drink and then she just lay quietly.

I left her for another 3 hours back and forward to her but she was too quiet, hardly lifting her head and very very quiet. When I phoned the vet she asked if she could see her again just to check her over and thought as I was working all day tomorrow that it would be better for Fluffy to stay there so they could monitor her as they think that she is still in pain, and also her mastitis is still a little cause for concern.

So I just feel very upset and worried for my poor little girl, hopefully there will be a big improvement tomorrow.

Poor little Fluffy. How lucky she is to have you caring for her. My old girl was v poorly recently but the vet care, including lots of rehydration, sorted her out. Fluffy will be OK I'm sure. Take care, try not to worry.
