Covered in Cat Hair

After 4 days in ICU Mabel is home. Annie will be keeping watch over her so she will always have company.

UPDATE: after four days in the ICU Mabel is coming home this afternoon. I still don’t have a definitive diagnosis, but it looks like possible kidney infection. Mabel is not 100% but she’s well enough to come home and be cared for here. She will get subcutaneous fluids, and lots of medications to fight back this infection. I miss her cute face. I can’t wait to see her. 

I spent Christmas at the ER Vet with Mabel. She wasn’t able to urinate. Lots of tests have been done. Still no definitive diagnosis. Mabel remains in the ICU. It might be a kidney infection since her creatnine has been ticking up- not what we want. I have new meds being overnight shipped and she’s on heavy antibiotics and on an IV. She’s been catheterized twice. This afternoon, after being palpated, she peed on her own. In 24- hours they’ll recheck her bloodwork and hope the results show she’s normalizing. Vet bill is 🚀🧨 Glad to have pet insurance. Now I just need my cat back, home, on the mend.

More info about H5N1 and the safety of cat food by a trusted source:

H1N1 Avian Influenza is contagious and potentially fatal to cats!

26/12/2024

It's very important that everyone who has cats be up to date on the latest info on Avian Influenza H5N1. This recall is not going to be the only one where cats have died from eating infected poultry. H5N1 does not die unless it's cooked. This is going to affect all folks who feed a raw diet (including me). They do not know transmission yet, but cats who get this die in 10 days. There is no known treatment. Numbers are low in cats right now, but this will change if it isn't stopped now. I will do more reporting in the coming days, but my pet nutritionist just sent me this update on a recall that you should know about.

A Portland-based pet food company issued a nationwide voluntary recall after a house cat in Oregon died from eating one of its products, which tested positive for bird flu.
