What a week i have just had.....
Last tuesday night we noticed that our cat lexi wasn't breathing properly. Has we had snow that day, and all the kids had been playing out. We thought that maybe a kid had thrown a snowwball at him.
So on wednesday when when we got up he seemed to be a little better and so we said that we would keep an eye on him.
But by wednesday night he was a lot worse...he couldn't breath at all. So by this time it was 10pm and we had to look on the yell.com to find a emergengy vet in our area.
We rang them and described what was wrong with and the vet thought he had got Pneumonia and to bring him straight away.
We got to the vet at 11.15pm and just for that it was a £70 call out and when we got there the vet examined him and said that it wasn't pneumonia at all he had actually got fluid on his lungs.
She then said to us that he wasn't too good and we could treat him for it or she could put him to sleep.
So we decided to safe him. he's was worth it.
They gave him an injection to try and get some of the fluid from his lungs.
They had to keep him over night too treat him and she also took our mobile number incase anything happened to him through the night.
so all night we didn't sleep waiting for a phone call from the vet.
When we spoke to her the next day she told us that it was touch and go all night because he was in such a bad state.
He had to stay at the vets til yesterday...hes come home now a little better, his breathing isn't has bad but he lost loads of weight couldn't believe it when we took him out of the cat box and saw him.
He was orignally got for me but he ignores me and always goes to my OH. but since he's come home he's ignoring other half and won't leave me alone.
So we have got a vet bill now of £340 and has we both don't work we are struggling to pay fo it.
we were told about the blue cross so we have rang them up and they have been fantastic with us.
Just glad he's on the mend now.
