River has been snoofing a bit since Tuesday, sneezing (which sounds like "ka-snerch!") and getting little snot bubbles from her nose. Sarah was home with them all day and told me that River was lower-energy than usual. Yesterday River's right eye started tearing a little, so Sarah got an appointment with the vet for tomorrow afternoon.
Based on internet research, it's probably either a cold or an upper respiratory infection (in which case Simon will probably catch it too). I can't go to the vet with them because I have my seminar tomorrow, so Sarah gets to wrestle the
babies into their carriers for their first post-adoption vet visit by
herself.
I'm sure they will both be okay, but it's hard as the kitty-mommy to see River with her right eye partially shut and hear her snoofing every so often... poor baby. Simon has sneezed a couple times, but nothing more yet. Maybe River just snoofed something from the carpet up her nose and it will be an easy fix. Until then... Sarah is fretting and pacing the floor like a nervous mother.
Oh nooooo! Sorry to hear that River isn't feeling well. I hope it's something that is easily treated. I think it's good to make a vet visit and have it checked. Let us know what happens, will you?
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs for you both, and good wishes for the kitties,
