#cats' health

[t0rschlusspan1k]

Purring. He looked at me, meowed a couple of times (he usually... chirps, this time he gave two shorts actual meows, and I don't know how I should interpret them), rubbed himself against my leg and came to sit here on the rug. He's much more active and reactive and sociable compared to yesterday but he's stopped peeing again no matter how many times he tries. He's not even leaking if I push on his belly. Apparently he's not suffering yet because he's very quiet and calm, but I'm extremely concerned, I contacted the veterinarian again in a panic. I sat on the floor and I'm looking at him sleeping... and breathing much better than yesterday, at least. I can see clearly from the way his belly rises up and down that he's purring, but cats do it when they're unwell too, it's not only a sign of affection or comfort. It's breaking my heart to see him like this. I want to take him to my bed, it's much warmer than the bathroom, but I'm afraid to hurt or stress him. My tiny beautiful sweet prince.

Edit: Trying to take him to my room, I'm freezing here and I don't want him to suffer the cold too even if he feels safer here, especially since the veterinarian told me to keep him warm.

here are Belphie's x-rays from a couple weeks ago! I'm not a vet, so I don't know what to zero in on here, but they show a "dilated right sided heart with moderate amount of pericardial effusion".

in other words, the right side of his heart is too big, and there's fluid all around it. which is bad! we don't want fluid!

it's very possible that FIP has messed with his heart (and there is precedence of the virus doing this exact thing), which means that it should improve with more time on the medication. but it's also possible that this is an underlying structural problem. I'm hoping it's the former, because if it's the latter, he'll likely have a shortened lifespan.

the only way to find out is to let him recover from FIP, and then check all his insides again. and in the meantime, he'll be getting plenty of medically prescribed kisses to the forehead!

She proudly announced she took off his Elisabethan collar ("Everyone licks their own wounds" -- it's not literal!!! What does this have to do with a seriously ill animal?!) so now he's free to hurt himself and rip off his catheter. She doesn't even want him to have his litter box, he's "free to do his things on the floor" and perhaps risk an infection. She's going to let all our cats die. I wish I could take him away. I'm too weak to even get up now...

Also she keeps lying and taking the merit for things I did and said in regards to his health and while at the veterinarian...
