Hi all!
I’m need to send out an URGENT message about CO poisoning in my cat and my home! I live in a studio apartment with my 3 year old ragdoll kitty. I went out of town for 24 hours and came home to a very sick girl!
Her symptoms included;
wobbly walking, confusion, sleeping all the time, not cleaning herself, zero playful activity, decreased appetite, dehydration, weight loss, hiding in new places, passing out, falling over, facial twitches, dilated pupils, stiff limbs, possible stroke, sneezing, trouble breathing, hot pink gums and nose.
I took her to the vet and was told her blood work came back clean. I had NO answers! The vet was NO help! My heart was breaking for weeks not knowing what to do for her. She was slipping away right before my eyes.
After ALL my research I finally came to the conclusion it MUST be the gas stove I have! I turned the gas line off and sure enough it’s now been two days and she is back to herself! This is a SILENT KILLER! Please always have a CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR in your home and check it often! All I was experiencing was headaches and sneezing.
Thank you for reading!
