We live in the sticks it cuts down travelling time if we meet them at the surgery because she has to travel in

My family are ages away Hmm

Will a taxi take the cat to the vet? (in his travel box obviously)

out2lunch · 23/10/2013 19:55

yy he needs to get to the vet somehow.must be awful for you. no neighbour to sit in with dd?

cozietoesie · 23/10/2013 20:07

Get a taxi and take LO with you then. (Unless you can raise a neighbour who would sit.) I've never had a refusal from a taxi to take a cat in its box. You need to get hm vet attention in some way.

Fluffycloudland77 · 23/10/2013 20:34

Did you get it sorted?

issey6cats · 23/10/2013 20:38

Glad he's better. Is he to see the vet again soon?

hugoagogo · 24/10/2013 19:55

I am pleased to hear he is doing a bit better.

DulcetMoans · 24/10/2013 20:36

Oh so pleased to hear hes come home. I came to this thread a bit late but happy to see a positive outcome. Cuddle him lots - but gently!

out2lunch · 25/10/2013 00:25

We have to go back to the vet on Monday but he's eaten again this morning he's mewing but still no purring yet Hmm

OP posts:
cozietoesie · 25/10/2013 12:36

That doesn't sound too bad. I wouldn't worry about the lack of pleasure purr - even if he's a purry cat (and not all are) he may just not be feeling quite top notch enough to purr.

DidoTheDodo · 26/10/2013 15:14

Continuing catty-vibes for your cat (And you too, of course!). Hope he's soon feeling much more like himself.

He's fussed for food this morning and eaten all of it but he's still not right back to the vets again on Thursday morning

He's also poked noses with the dog which is a good sign

How's everyone else doing

cozietoesie · 29/10/2013 09:54
