I got home from work rather early, so I attempted to be productive. Afterwards I wanted to relax, so we watched a movie. By the time I got down to the kittens it was 9:30. Now around 5:30 I thought I should go see the kittens, but because of their illness I wanted to put it off till the end of the day when I could take my clothes off and toss them in the wash. I should have gone at 5:30
at 9:30 I went down, and three of the four greeted me at the door. Harry was no where to be seen. I looked around, then looked in his new favorite hiding space behind the TV. There he was with his front arms through the bars of the cage (which is next to the tv) and was unresponsive. I called out for my husband to come help. He moved the tv, and found Harry in a very contorted way. He cried out but was pretty immobile. After a few futile attempts to get permission, I rushed him to the emergency Clinic. While getting him into the car, he seemed to rally, fighting me, but I decided to go anyway. Good thing, cause it was just a rally. The dr said it was neurological, and thinks he fell off the TV. Im not so sure. But he is there at the EC now, getting steroids to help shrink any swelling that might be going on. Im scared it might be panleukopenia. although if it is, then there was NOTHING I could have done to prevent it... but I still dont want it to be. Fortunately my guys are vaccinated against it (kitty parvo) and one of jack's former foster mates had it and Jack is just fine, so Im sure his sisters will be fine.. but I want it to be curable, and I want him to come home.
