Re: Salt seems a bit off


Cos she's not coming out from under the floorboards unless i've got food for her, the litter tray has been dug out from under the cupboard (glad i kept it now) and is now in the bathroom along with her food and water dish. When she's eating you can hear her wheezing and coughing.

Hope I can get her out to get her to the vets on Thursday

Re: Salt seems a bit off


When she comes out next time, is there any way you can block off that entrance to underneath the floorboards Nae?

I would also try to keep her indoors until you can get her to the vet as she doesn't sound at all well

Re: Salt seems a bit off


I've had a hunt around but can't find anything suitable. She's not venturing out anywhere altho she did manage to come down the stairs earlier when I opened a tin of food but darted back up the stairs when I spoke to her, almost as if she was afraid of being spotted.

Re: Salt seems a bit off


All does not sound well. Hope its nothing though.

I know it sounds silly but you don't think she's got worms do you? dogs when they have a bad case of worms hacking cough and trying to throw up. May be miles off course.
Hope all is well Naomi.

Re: Salt seems a bit off


Actually Kazz, thinking about it she hasn't been wormed since October/November. I'll see what the vet says on Thursday.

Re: Salt seems a bit off


Can't you get her before Naomi? does not sound good I know we can only go by what you say and not hear her ourselves but it sounds bad reading it. Maybe not as bad as it is, but you know what black and white is like hard to read between the lines.

But she is obviously eating, breathing etc, so maybe not as bad as it sounds but I wonder if its worth popping over to the chap you rehomes her with and asking when he last saw her and what she was doin? maybe she's been locked in somewhere and eaten something with wire or twine attached. Ask the chap when he last saw her and if he'd noticed the coughing its obviously noticable.

Re: Salt seems a bit off


Buster coughs but my vets don't know why yet. They said it could be ashma or something like that he is still undergoing test.

Re: Salt seems a bit off


He popped over last night Kaz cos he was worreid that he hadn't seen her for about a week. I thought he'd been feeding her but obviously not, someone else has

I've been up the shop, my source of gosspi lol and made a few enquiries. Apparently there was an elderly lady complaining that the kids next door to her had scared a black and white cat that she had been feeding and homing for the past week, away. The shop owner didn't have the heart to tell her that it was probably my cat. If it was indeed Salt then she has been fed tuna, salmon, chicken and goodness knows what else.

Unfortunately Thursday was the earliest that they could get her in
