Just checking in to say I’m still alive – Vim apenas espreitar para dizer que estou viva


I’ve been unable to post; again life is getting in the way and lately there’s a lot going on in my life… Too much work on one hand and some worries as well… Last week Missy fell ill, she started to be more and more still, like if moving would cause her pain… She was also vomiting (first we thought she was trying to get a fur ball out), and she gradually lost her appetite… We took her to the vet and after getting her blood analyzed, she was diagnosed with a viral infection, probably carried on by little Kiko. The vet explained that his immune system as a little kitty is much stronger so the symptoms took the form of sneezes only. Missy was medicated and a couple of days later she was fully recovered. Little Kiko however soon started to develop the same symptoms (except vomiting). He was clearly in pain and with high fever and again we had to run to the vet… He was medicated and today he looks better already, so we let him come outside for a few moments and get some fresh air. He got us really scared yesterday, because he couldn’t stand on his feet and wouldn’t eat (and he loves eating!).

Ultimamente não tenho podido publicar nada nos blogues; mais uma vez a vida mete-se no caminho das minhas intenções… Por um lado ando sobrecarregada com trabalho, por outro tenho tido algumas preocupações. Na semana passada a Missy adoeceu, começou a ficar cada vez mais quieta como se o movimento lhe causasse dor, vomitava frequentemente e começou a perder o apetite (antes disso, quando os vómitos começaram, pensámos que fosse um bola de pelo que ela estivesse a tentar expelir) … Levámo-la ao veterinário e depois de umas análises ao sangue ela foi diagnosticada com uma infecção viral, provavelmente transmitida pelo Kiko. O veterinário explicou que os gatinhos pequenos têm um sistema imunológico muito mais forte e por isso nele os +únicos sintomas de nota seriam alguns espirros. A Missy foi medicada e uns dias mais tarde estava recuperada, mas logo a seguir o Kiko começou a apresentar os mesmos sintomas (excepto o vómito); ontem foi mais uma corrida para o veterinário (assustámo-nos mesmo, pois ele nem se aguentava nas patas e deixou de comer), e hoje ele apresenta melhoras substanciais, embora ainda não esteja a 100%, por isso deixámo-lo vir cá fora apanhar um pouco de ar enquanto eu tirava algumas fotos.

  9. Gosto do conjunto. Li o relato com apreensão mas fiquei aliviada por ver que a situação já está controlada. O Kiko é tão fofinho! Que susto, imagino. E quanto ao tempo, ou a falta dele, pois, como te compreendo.
    Beijinhos, Celina

    You're very lucky that your kitties are still doing good and I'm glad for you they are, I didn't had the same luck with my beautiful Tsahal last week :'((((
