Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here. I would just like to ask everyone to say a HUGE prayer for Scrappy. He's a very sick kitty with distemper that I rescued from a feral litter of 4. He is one of 3 males and 1 female who I suspect someone dropped off at our house. My aunt took the female home to SC from visiting here, (Fl). Since there were 4 of them, I listened to my aunt and took them to a discount neuter place. About a week later, the first one started getting sick and had such a low white blood cell count, it was unreadable. Our regular vet started on him with intensive antibiotics and fluid therapy. In a couple of days, he was almost back to his old rambunctious self. Then I lost the next one in a matter of hours, and at that same time, took the remaining one and his survivor brother back to our vet for more treatment. Now the last one out of the remaining 2 I have is so sick, I'm afraid he may not make it.
It's right now almost 4:30 a.m. eastern and I just checked him again. I'm so upset, I can't go back to sleep. Our vet has been fantastic and isn't even charging us for the fluid therapy right now. All I'm paying him is for the antibiotics he's giving Scrappy. As soon as it gets 8 a.m. I will be taking him back for his daily fluid treatment. If he survives for that long. I would just would love all your prayers for my baby. I don't know how I will be able to take losing this sweet kitty, if he doesn't pull through. So far he's into his 4th day and is hanging in there, but he's still so dehydrated and still vomiting. Sorry this is so long, but there was no other way to explain things.
