Princess Luna Bean

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd share another picture from when we were living in the city.

Caught them cuddling. Was taking pictures when Juni's lip got stuck after she yawned.

Luna had to visit the vet again today, for the third time this week. This time, we think we figured out the problem!

She developed an abscess on her back left leg. It's likely that this was the source of her infection, which caused her fever the first time, and her fever again today. Over the last 24 hours, she has barely put any pressure on that leg, and it's causing her pain and discomfort. She was dehydrated again, so the vets gave her more fluids, more antibiotics, and some pain medication. She is still eating, drinking water, and using the litter, but she's very lethargic.

Unfortunately, we think that Juni may have brought bacteria with her from the shelter. The kitten is healthy and happy, but Luna will need a week or two to recover.

It's just a thought. We'll know more tomorrow.

Vet says she had a low grade fever, that she's lost nearly 2lbs since her last visit two weeks ago, and she was mildly dehydrated. Her mouth has an odd scent, she's lethargic and she seems like she's sore. She is making a strained meow that doesn't sound like normal, and she's growling and avoiding hand contact with certain parts of her body. Its unusual because of how much she loves pets and affection. Vet gave her fluids, antibiotics, and a stimulant to help her eat.

She does still seem interested in food and water, and she's still using the litter. She has mostly just stayed laying on my lap all day, and complains (more than usual, and in a strained voice) when I try to move. Vets are getting lab work for blood and urinalysis, which should be ready tomorrow.

I'm so concerned for her. We just lost Mattmatt, and now Luna is showing similar behaviors and symptoms. I hope I'm over thinking, but I'm so scared for her.
