Guys. It has been horrible around here since bringing Mina home and I want to crawl into a hole and cry.
First, Mina has some type of allergy, maybe not. I’ll get to that in a moment. So, we go to the vets for her well check when she first comes in and vet thinks allergy. Isn’t 100 percent sure though. Recommends following up if the bumps are worse or start looking different. Well....they get worse. She gives a two week antibiotic (Convenia) and Revolution as it could possibly be mites? Her bumps are better. She also had conjunctivitis really bad and need eye ointment when she had her well check.
Over the weekend the poor girl is so ill with a URI that I take her to the e-vet as I’m worried that she really can’t breath. Lots of tongue out mouth breathing, snots and eye discharge. It’s viral, nothing can be done but supportive care. She’s much better today and eating and running around like she’s on speed. That same Saturday Beats, my sphynx meows and it sounds like croaking and I die a little more inside.
But wait, there’s more, my Maine coon stopped eating his raw and acted as though his mouth or teeth were giving him a bother. Take him in and get pain meds and if not better then full dental work up under sedation go check for stomatitis or a bad tooth. He’s only 9 months, so hoping he just tweaked his jaw and he’ll be all better soon.
Back to Beats, he’s coughing now and has what looks like ringworm and I WANT TO DIE!!! Appt today at 12:30 and they said quarantine him. Here’s the kicker, I’m wondering if Mina had ringworm from the get go and it wasn’t an allergy and she’s been shedding this fungus since she’s arrived. I have sooooooo many animals, I don’t know how I’ll clean/treat/quarantine everyone.
I love and adore my Mina so much but I am so mad at myself for this. I didn’t realize that all this would happen and I feel so bad about it all. Plus the e-veterinarian tried telling me Mina had mange because of her fur patterns. Even though I mentioned to so many people about her breed and how she’s suppose to look like that.
