Such a horrible evening last night. My crazy mad kitten almost died in my arms.
I’m not 100% sure what happened but there was a bark and scream and he came hurtling into the room. I got hold of him and saw blood from his nose and eye. O/H insisted he was fine even when he obviously staggered sideways instead of walking. Took him to his friend who’s wife is a vet and she said he had scratched his nose (!!) whilst I wanted to believe this I was very unconvinced. She gave him a shot of antibiotics and said to pop back in a day or so.
Well we got home and put him infront if the fire where he just lay lifeless and floppy, blood still slowly coming from his nose and eye.
We argued more about him, I said he’d be dead by morning if we left him, o/h claimed he was just a bit tired having played all day 🤬
Then he started dribbling lots of bloody stuff from his mouth so I called the emergency vet which out closest was 45 minutes (a good 45 minutes away)
By the time we got there he looked horrific, mouth open, all swollen and eyes shut.
The vet said all his airways were swollen and inflamed. He was cleaned up a little and given quite strong anti-inflammatory meds and pain killers.
I really still didn’t expect him to be alive by morning he looked that awful.
He was, I don’t think he’d moved all night but got up and walked ok. He’s used his litter tray and tried to eat but the vet did say eating may be painful, I’ve just been really gross and let him lick the chopping board after I cut up some roast chicken but he seems hungry but unable to actually eat.
He’s making coughing/sneezing sounds but seems to be breathing ok now and all the bleeding is stopped.
We are back to the vets shortly to give more medication if needed and have a really good examination.
He’s only been here five minutes but I really do love this little chap :’(
