Its our turn.

Chubby hid from us all night, and a few minutes ago I started to hear howling and crying. I found him lying on his side, mouth wide open, drooling and gasping for air.

Its 6 Am, my vet opens at 9.

This is freaking me out.
To make matters worse I have to get to a 10AM appointment. But it looks like thats not going to happen.

He wont eat. He just wants to hide. My poor little guy.

My apratment is fairly cool given the temp outside (its comfortable in here)

Waiting 3 hours for the vet is going to be tough for the both of us.
 
Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 Chubby is sick

Do you have an emergency 24 hour vet nearby? Your ver might have a number on their answering machine for emergencys. Sounds like Chubby is having breathing problems? Does he have asthma?
 
Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 Chubby is sick

You might have to go the Emergency Vet. I hope not. (((Jay and Chubby))) You're both in my thoughts and prayers. Fingers crossed, and sending snowflakes and feel better now vines to Chubby.
 
Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 Chubby is sick

So sorry to hear, I would take him to the emergency vet if you can! Sending positive thoughts and healing vines your way!
 
Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 Chubby is sick

I am a vet tech Jay and my advice to you is to get him to a vet right now do not wait to see your vet thats too long of a wait for him with those symptoms

Please update when you can.
 
Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 Chubby is sick

For everyone that's been worried about Chubby, and rightfully so, I don't know what the situation is now but I did receive an email from Jay due to the similarity to Alex's symptoms and in it he stated that ' by 7 he (Chubby) was looking ok'

I'm guessing he did go to his meeting and is planning on taking Chubbs to vet after.

I see that you're all concerned and I don't want you thinking the worst.

Caryl

ETA: This is just a guess as I emailed him back and told him that I thought he should get back and take him to the vet also. I haven't heard back yet.

He doesnt have asthma,

I just got back from my 10 o'clock appointment. Obviously something is wrong with him. He is hiding, wants to be alone, and looks like he has been thru the ringer (which he has).

We are going back to the Vet at 3 today

Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 +7 105 +8 93 +12 59 Chubby at the Vet

Chubbs is at the Vet.

I came home with an empty carrier.

They are running a battery of tests as he is in pretty bad shape, and I'll find out in the morning what next steps are if any.

On the flip side.

Frankie does real well at 2.75 units when he doesnt eat. He is at 59 at +12.

Given whats been going on today. I'm going to wait till I feel really comfortable about giving him his dose. I more concerned about Chubby.

I'm like totally bummed out about Chbuby

Dear Jay, We hope that by now you have had a good report on Chubby's condition. Sending healing vines to your sweet kitty. When in doubt about where to go with an emergency in NYC, try the Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital of the ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/aspca-nyc/berg-mem ... pital.html They have 24=-hour hospital care and also have after-business hours walk-ins for emergencies. They would also be able to refer you to a clinic in your neighborhood. I lived in Brooklyn for many years and found the emergency clinic at Animal Kind Vet Hospital on 7th Ave. in Park Slope to be excellent. Hope your kitty feels better soon.

Thinking of Chubby and you and praying it's something fixable. Try not to think the worst.
 
Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 +7 105 +8 93 +12 59 Chubby at the Vet

I'm sorry Jay. It is so very clear how much you love your cats.
((((((((((((((((((Chubby))))))))))))))))))
Many healing vines and snowflakes for Chubby.
I'm sorry to hear Frankie's bowls went untouched. Maybe he will eat now that you are home and you will be able to give a reduced shot tonight.
You guys are on in my thoughts.

Re: 4.8 Frankie AMPS 325 +7 105 +8 93 +12 59 Chubby at the Vet

Im going to test him in 15 minutes...I'm not sure about the reduced dose and when to shoot. He ate a bit and has a long way to go before I feel comfortable in shooting anything, let alone a reduce dose.

Oradell Animal Hospital is 24/7 state of the art and is 15 minutes or less from Hackensack. It's right next to the Sport's Authority at The Fashion Center in Paramus.
