Hi-ya' kitties, I came home last night!
What an ordeal! I had so many pokes and prods - so many tests! I'm really stumping the experts...all of my labs are perfect...until they looked at a stain of my bloods and Dr. Wendy saw an itty-bitty infection in them. She thinks that I may have been bitten by a flea and that I got an infection from it. She says it may have been months ago and that it only takes one little bite for this to happen. My bladder infection is all gone - so that's good news. Now I have to take some more medicine (C-Doxycycline 50 mg) for 21 days!!! Both Mommy and I are so happy that we'll have 21 days of quality medicine-taking time together...
I do feel better, the Sub Q fluids helped perk me up and the great news is that Dr.Wendy and Dr. Joe said that I can eat whatever I want - I need to bulk up. I have lost over a pound in the last month. So now I have lots of Rx stinky goodness that tastes great! I really hope that this stoopid flea bite was the culprit and that I can put all of this behind me.
Both Mommy and I want to thank all of you for your good thoughts, advice and prayers. We know that they are helping and that we are very blessed and lucky to have all of you as friends.
Hey Rudy! We are glad to see you back home. That is good news that they found what is wrong with you, and even better news that you can eat whatever you want. Now get nomming and get that weight back on. Oh, and be a good boy with your meds okay.
ReplyDeleteGreat news=so glad Rudy is home, they found his problem and he will be better soon...Have fun (and try to stay out of trouble!) with that new Christmas tree, sweet friends :)...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteA very big welcome home to our favourite Orange Menace! We are purring big time that Dr. Wendy has found the culprit, and that you will be feeling better in no time. Smoochies to you, buddy!
ReplyDeleteRudy, we're glad you're home and that they figured out what is going on with you. And there's a bright side to all of this...you get to eat all you want!!! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful news that you're home, Rudy!! We're glad you're on the path to good health again!
ReplyDeleteMOL Mom and I are cracking up at the '21 days of quality medicine taking time'!!! Anyone who has ever tried to pill a cat is sending your tons of good wishes. Hopefully Rudy will realize that it is for his own good and will take it, if not willingly, at least with as little fuss as possible. Best news is he has a free pass to
ReplyDeletethe buffet.

Rudy! I am so glad that you are home. I hope this last round of medicine gets rid of all of your problems. I had some reactions to a flea bite, which caused flea fever about two years ago and I was a very sick kitty. I'm doing much better now. Healing purrs for you.
ReplyDeleteJust think Rudi - you and your mom are going to spend the next 21 days having fun playing "I'll spit the pill out and you find it". We know you'll both enjoy having quality time together!
ReplyDeleteWe are pleased to hear that that you can eat like a little piggy to put some weight back on.
We are so glad you are home, Rudy. It is not any fun at all to be at the v-e-t, especially without your rents! Take your medicine and stay well!

Welcome back home, Rudy! I hope this medicine does the trick and you are all well after that.

ReplyDeleteWelcome home Rudy. Dem fleas is bad news. Mom sez it is bad to hate but we really hate fleas.
ReplyDeleteRudy!! Did the vet say it may be haemobartonellosis? If so, that's the same thing that our shelter foster, Sweetie, had. She was on a 3 week course of Doxy and fully recovered. We hope you recover quickly, Rudy! We are all purring and purraying for you!
ReplyDeleteRudy, we just found out that you've been sick. We are so glad to hear that the vet found out what was wrong with you. Those fleas can be nasty. Our first greyhound got sick from a flea too. We are purring that you will be better at taking your medicine than Tavi was.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for stopping by to give us purrs when you aren't feeling well Rudy, and when you are busy taking care of him Parker, Powder, Puff and mom.

Oh Rudy, I'm so happy to hear that you are back home...happy dances all around! Now, quit reading your comments and go eat some of that stinky goodness!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you have a possible diagnosis!! 21 days of pills does sound, er... fun. My mom had to look twice at your vet bill - she said it's much lower than she expected!!
ReplyDeleteRudy so glad that you are home and feeling better. We all hope that these pills will fix what is not right inside. Plus yipee for getting to eat whatever you want.
