I just posted about my Precious that came home after being missing for 6 months. Today I took her to the vet to be checked out since she seemed to be increasingly lethargic and her breathing was too rapid for my comfort.
I had checked her temp with one of those ear thermometers yesterday and she didn't register as having a temperature, but the vet said those aren't too good with cats so she checked and it was 105.
She asked if she could test for FeLuk and I said yes, but asked if it would show positive since she's been vaccinated for it in the past. They said with the test they do it won't.
I sure hope she's going to be OK. I can't imagine losing her now to illness. They told me to call around noon if I haven't heard from them so I should know something for sure by mid-day tomorrow.
I felt so bad leaving her there. She's probably wondering why I would take her away after she struggled to get back home. I'm hoping it is just a cold that can be cleared up with meds and rest. We did have some pretty heavy cold rain recently and she may have been out in it heading for home.
