The return of the Cat Flu!


Hi all,
haven't been around much in the last few days... been busy looking after HRH.. as her cat flu came back with a vengence!
She was doing fine until Sunday morning.. when she refused to eat... i took her to my vet and.. and they discovered that she had developed a new batch of ulcers on her tongue.... to that add that she was badly congested and we had a very unhappy little girl... at least she didn't have a fever this time.. so that's a plus!
A temgesic injection... some more temgesic to take home with us... and a visit to the shops to buy a humidifier.. has seen her become a little better.. at least she isn't getting a blood nose when she sneezes now!
her appetite,whilst not back to normal is getting better as she become more decongested ... and she is snoozing lots.. so hopefully she's in the last stages.. My vet said that it's been a particularly bad year this year for the flu... he's had a few that have relapsed and been quite unwell.. he said that it will take her another week to be over it properly.. so fingers crossed..

Here is a picture that i took of her today relaxing... watching TV with her daddy...

That is such a sweet photo! Glad to hear she's picked up a little. Cat flu does seem to be rife this year, one of our local RSPCA centres has had a terrible time with it, unfortunately losing some of the cats up for re-homing

What a time this poor little girlie has had. What a worry for you all. I do love the picture of her recuperating - so very sweet! Healing vibes a-plenty from the Northern Hemisphere.

Poor baby - still, hopefully she's over the worst of it now.

Erm . . . there doesn't seem to be too much telly-watching in that picture Looks like it was just an excuse for the pair of them to catch forty winks

At least she's on the mend now. Poor baby.

Hope that is the last of it for her.
