Hello friends, today I want to share a moment that we were waiting for a long time, but that had become quite difficult to achieve, because everything in my country is quite expensive, plus in the area where I live there are very few veterinarians, but finally I got one that had very good recommendations and I liked him very much, so about two days ago we took my beautiful Tommy to consultation for the first time, Tommy is about 2 months old with us and I am very much in love with my little kitty, we had planned to take him a week ago but since there are so few vets in the area, our vet scheduled the appointment for two days ago and coincidentally those days we went through a bad situation in which it was very timely for the vet to check my Tommy.
Three days ago I noticed that Tommy was down, he really looked very discouraged, at night he always likes to run and jump everywhere, but that day he didn't do it, he just slept and didn't want to eat, I was very nervous, but at the same time a little excited because I knew that the next day we would have an appointment with the doctor and we could know what the problem was.
The next morning I woke up and saw a vomit on the floor and I almost died when I saw a big and long thing in the vomit, it was a parasite, we had dewormed Tommy when he arrived, but apparently it did not work, then I went into crisis and waited for the scheduled time to see the doctor, I was very very scared.
I also noticed some secretions in his nose, that was the worst thing for me, imagine so many bad things that I can't explain.
We arrived at the place, which is very close to where I live, it is an area where there are houses and some food places, we had to walk a lot and it was difficult because we all went, including my son, I still don't have a kennel to transport Tommy so we carried him in a backpack, with his little head outside so he could breathe and look around, obviously he got super nervous, he was meowing the whole way, but finally we arrived and the doctor showed up, he attended us and began to greet Tommy, before attending him he asked me to let him go and let him walk around the office to be calmer, meanwhile I was telling him all the problems I had that day and also asking him some questions about Tommy's general care, he explained me very calmly everything and indeed he had to deworm him.
My beautiful little cat was scared, hiding under the chairs and behind a shelf, not knowing that the hardest part was yet to come.
The doctor examined him, took his weight, he told me that Tommy is 4 months old and weighs barely 1 kilo, he listened to his lungs and examined his whole body, he told me that the secretions in the nose are caused by parasites, but besides that he felt that his stomach was slightly swollen as if he had gas and acidity, the doctor injected him with a medicine to improve that discomfort, he said that probably that is why he felt down, Tommy behaved very well, he was not aggressive and let himself be injected, it was very painful when he was injected but it was necessary, also the doctor told me that he likes to work little by little, so he recommended us to wait to see if Tommy's mood improved before deworming him, he didn't want to saturate him with so many things in the same day, then we left and when we got home Tommy slept all afternoon.
When he woke up I was surprised to see a big change in his mood, he was very happy and ate, he also started to play a lot, what the doctor injected him with had really worked, so the next day it was sure that the deworming would be done, we went again and this time it was more difficult to transport Tommy, because now he was feeling well and as he was scared by the noise of the street, he was looking for ways to run away, but luckily we had control of the matter, when we got to the doctor we did the deworming procedure very fast, I didn't even take pictures, but I did take pictures on the way home and Tommy was so tired of trying to escape and meowing that he started to breathe through his mouth hahahaha, he looked like a little dog.
Luckily our house is not so far away and we were able to get there quickly by bus so Tommy could rest from so much stress, he arrived drinking a lot of water and going to bed to sleep, I could already notice the improvement and how the Tommy I have always seen was coming back to me.
A $30 vaccine has yet to be administered, I will be working on it this month, because I have had a lot of expenses, but I know that soon I will be able to do it for the health of my precious kitty.
