As you know Ripley has been ill with crystals and we have had him on medication and special food and he has been doing OK,   today Ripley is very poorly he wont eat and doesn't want to anything so he is at the vets as I type (Steve is taking him in),  I am at work and worried so waiting for news,  please send some good vibes for my little boy

Just spoken to Steve,  JOR now has a respiratory infection and ulcers in his mouth so he has been given medication and we have medication to give him over the next 48hours (not sure what it is as Steve was driving when I spoke to him),   back to the vets again in 2 days to check how things are with him.  Poor little boy has had so many problems so far  :'(

I just feel so bad for the little man,  so much has gone on in his little life,  he had the cat flu and the big part of his lip missing,  he then had a bad stomach infection which lasted for ages and he had to be in a cage and have meds every day,  he then had problems with his ears,  he then was diagnosed with a heart murmur,  then numerous trips to the vets for what they thought was cystitis which was then diagnosed as Crystals and now this infection,  when will it all get better for the poor boy  :'(

could it be calici?  my boys both had the same and it was a flare up of calici for them, never happened since though and that was 5 years ago - hope the little man feels better soon

That is what I am worried about Dawn,   the vet wasnt overly concerned about us keeping him seperate from the others so I am not sure.

when we got Tilly I spoke to my vet about the boys but he was very unconcerned and said 70% of cats are carriers anyway

we managed to get our boys eating with tuna clare if that is any help - they wouldn't touch the mushy stuff the vet gave us
Title: Re: Vibes for JO Ripley please
Post by: Daisymac on November 24, 2010, 13:30:54 PM
Thanks Dawn,  I will try Tuna,  but I also have to think of his Crystals so double edged sword  :Crazy:
Title: Re: Vibes for JO Ripley please
Post by: Liz on November 24, 2010, 13:50:40 PM
We are sending get well wishes for JO Ripley and his Mummy and Daddy and hope he gets well soon

Dawn try Tuna in spring water this is out current medication tool even got a drontal down Ace and it was all mushed in

I am sure with your and your vets care he will pull through - I wouldn't keep him seperate it can cause more stress for them than keeping them together :hug:

I know hun, we had a boy with crystals in the past as well - we really must have that coffee and chat at tesco lol - but getting something inside him will help him recover
quicker - it is a calici flare up our boys were recovering well after a couple of days of meds for the chest infection

Wot, wot?  Wot's this I hear about the gorgeous and unique and incredibly wonderful Mr JOR?  Paddy says he absolutely isn't having it, and JOR is a supreme little fighter and has to get on his gloves and fight again, immediately!  That is "der Ordurr JOR!!"  :-: 

And he also sends snuzzles and "pprrrfffpppts" as they're "rite importunt" in the getting betterer process.  Oh yes.   :cat rub:

And me also sending loves and snoozles to the favourite little guy who always makes me smile and go all fuzzy and warm inside.

It does sound like calici to me - it can be highly contagious, but yours will have already come into contact with it., which is prob why the vet wasn't overly concerned. It might be worth getting some a/d from the vets, as too much tuna will make his crystals worse, bless him. They often find dry easier to eat with a sore mouth, but again, that could make his crystals worse too.

Post by: Daisymac on November 25, 2010, 10:09:15 AM
He is much better this morning,  eating his CD as normal this morning so fingers crossed he is getting better,  I spoke to the vet and he doesnt think it is calici he thinks it is just an infection where he has been so run down with the crystals and vet visits etc the ulcers are not bad and were mainly around where he has the lip damage,   (he had flu when Teresa got him as a tiny baby so I thought he may have been shedding ??.)  No one else seems to be off food or under the weather so fingers crossed,  thanks so much for all the vibes,  I am sure they have made him loads better as I have told him about each and every one xx

Ripley is still doing well,  he is back playing (I know because he chased my feet under the duvet and woke me up at 5am !)  he is eating Tuna mixed in with his CD food and is drinking well,  fingers crossed he continues to improve.  We have a new floor being fitted tomorrow so I just hope this doesnt stress him out to much.
