When It Rains, It Monsoons


Well, things has not been going good around here. Bowie wuz getting really sick last night, he felt warm, he wouldn't eat, and he just looked miserable. So da mommas decided he needed to go to the emergency vet. But furst, they had to take us pups out. When my momma wuz helping Finley, she noticed Finley stank. And not just dirty dog stink - her foot smelled putrid and it was oozing. So she went with Bowie to the emergency vet. They both had to stay overnight. They had to remove the sling - what that means for her hip, we'll find out on Monday. But she could wind up with a gimpy leg if the hip pops back out of joint. And she wuz doing so good and really trying.


Bowie's temperature spiked up to 105 when he was there and they determined he has an upper respiratory infection. So he got lotsa antibiotics and he's home now. But he's still feeling bad - he's eating a lil and he's lethargic still.  Late last night, Travis developed the sneezies too and has been feeling bad today. And he was doing the same panting Bowie wuz doing. Angelique has also been sneezing (she wuz actually the furst to get sneezy, but she didn't get as sick as Bowie). So da mommas got antibiotics for all three of da kitties. 


Angelique is the only one kitty who is eating good, but she's still sneezing too. So it seems like the kitties are ALL sick. It's all just really discouraging and depressing. Not meaning to be a downer, especially now when the whole world is such a dark and depressing place. 


But it's what is goin on here. So just be sure not to judge your friends and neighbors you see out and about - they could be doing something important, like taking animals to the emergency vet (or shopping for an elderly couple, or working at a food bank, or something GOOD). Not everyone who's out is just being a quarantine rebel.

  10. Mom says when she first got our current kitties they both got really sick like that and one of the dogs caught it too. Hope everyone feels better soon, and we really hope the best for Finley. So bad to have trouble like that now when everything is so bad anyway.

  12. Be aware of a report in the NY Times this morning:

    A tiger at the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for the virus, in what is believed to be the first known infection in an animal in the U.S., officials said. Other tigers and lions at the zoo have also become sick.

    1. Yeah, we saw that. Some people asked on FB if it could be coronavirus. Truth is, we don't know. They aren't coughing though and we think most of the cats who've had it have had a cough.
