Last night topped it all. We came home from a lovely family dinner to find a lethargic kitty sitting on the floor. No bounce in his step, no roar in his meow.
Maybe he was just tired?
Then about 11pm the shaking started.
What?
Not your average “someone just walked over my grave” tremble.
Full on tremors. Shaking with every breath.
We called the Emergency vet number.
They said we needed to bring him in.
We have had a dog for 9 years and never had to make a trip like this.
What we learned by 1am?
Ear infections can cause a kitten to spike a fever , quickly making sweet kitty dehydrated. All of this combined brings on the quakes, shakes or shivers.
Poor little kitty.
Poor little checking account.
This little man is costing me a fortune!
Good thing he’s cute…..
I can sympathize because both of of my dogs have been million dollar dogs. Between infections, blood poisoning from eating wild mushrooms and even deadlier was the macadamia nuts my dog got into, allergies and my list goes on and on. Oh I forgot the near death experience my previous dog had when she was stung by a bee and went into Anaphylactic shock and we then had to carry an epi pen for her every time she left the house.
Yes I know about the emergency vet and when I go I ask if they want the deed to my house because they’re so expensive !
