Tamara's cat, Random Numbers "Rannie" Wu, has another upper respiratory infection. She started getting sniffly over the weekend and by yesterday, she was wheezing, sniffling, burbling and sneezing.
She refused breakfast yesterday. Tamara took her to the veterinarian yesterday afternoon. The diagnosed a bacterial infection and we started her on antibiotics last evening. She's still recovering and not feeling very well; refused breakfast again this morning and is due for her medicine shortly.
Huck, my huge yellow-striped tomcat, is not at all understanding. He keeps trying to get Rannie to play by bounding up, throwing a foreleg over her shoulders, and attempting to wrestle, a behavior she doesn't like very much even when she's not sick. Is he being a pill or is he trying to cheer her up? It's hard to say.
Tam's poor cat prefers to nap on hot pads and furnace registers, hoping to feel better. She's taken to turning her back on the room, a sure sign she's not happy.
The antibiotic helped a lot the last time she had a sinus infection.
Hope your friend's cat health improves. It is good that you are watching after her health - imagine all the outdoor ferals which do not have that option.
