I've just returned from the vets and Twinkle is very poorly, I'll start from the beginning but please excuse any spelling mistakes as I'm very upset at the moment as my baby is ill, i took them both to the vets on Tuesday for their first checkup and they got the all clear and worming tablets. yesterday Twinkle had dioreah and i noticed blood in it so i took her back last night she seemed OK in herself, playing etc.. so the vet said it was colitis and gave her antibiotics and told me to take away the cat milk she had been having and to give her water and food, gave her antibiotics last night and this morning, she seemed fine. got back from work today and she seemed a bit quiet she wasn't playing with Star and she was laying on the sofa just meowing and the meowing sounded like she was in pain, i cant describe it but she sounded awful and she wouldn't move she was all floppy, my mum was round so i left the kids with her and rushed Twinkle back to the vets,she didn't look good in the car and her meowing was the same but quieter as if she had no energy to meow i asked if she could be seen straight away and the vet took one look at her and said she needed to be kept in overnight and be put straight on a drip, i told her to do everything she could for her, so i left her, i cried all the way home and I'm still distaught, i didnt know what to do, I'm going to ring later to see how she is, i will keep you updated i really needed to tell someone (some people) who would know how i feel, thats why i started this thread,
please keep Twinkle in your thoughts :'(

:thanks: for all your concern, i havent yet heard anything from the vets, I'm wondering if that is a good sign?, i know i should ring but i'm dreading bad news i'll give it another hour and then i'll ring them. I think Star is also missing Twinkle, she was meowing all night and she's following me all over this morning wanting cuddles (which i am more than happy to give her)
-
I would just phone them now as I'm sure Twinkle is a lot better today :hug:

I agree with Mark,phone the vets and see hows shes doing today.
Get well soon Twinkle :hug: :ahh:

Hi everyone,
I'm sooooo sorry I haven't given you any news about Twinkle, my internet broke yesterday (great timing!), Anyway the good news is that Twinkle is home and she's on the mend (thank god). I rang the vets yesterday and she had improved overnight but was still on her drip and in ICU they said that they were going to monitor her until 4pm and as long as she hadn't had any dioreah she could come home. I Picked her up at 5pm and although she was very weak and tired she looked a lot better, the vet said that she had been severely dehydrated and had an infection, they had given her IV fluids and antibiotic injections. The vet also said that if I hadn't of brought her when i did she may not have made it :'(.
She was very tired and floppy last night and she just wanted to be stroked and cuddled I have been giving her a diet of boiled chicken and fish (as advised by the vet) and she is eating and drinking well, I let her sleep in the spare bedroom last night as Star was so happy to see her that she wouldn't leave her alone and constantly wanted to play!, Twinkle was having none of it >:(, This morning she was more her normal playful kitty self, actually since her ordeal she has become a lot less timid and more affectionate. When we first got her (a week ago) she was very timid because she hadn't been handled and kept outside in a hutch. I believe the owners could be responsible for her illness as she was kept in dreadful conditions and Star was kept in a loving environment and she is OK. I feel really angry at them. but the main thing is that Twinkle is getting better (she is currently playing with Star so thats a good sign!).
Thankyou so much for all your concern and kind messages and personal messages, they really meant a lot when i was so upset it was nice to know you were thinking of Twinkle (and me) :hug: :hug:
-

Give her a big cuddle of me and Ging and Grwndi want to give her a headkiss :Luv:
