Tuxie Tuesday: Dragonheart

Hello all!  Dragonheart here.  I could use some purrs today.  I'm headed to the vet this afternoon.  You see, I've been sneezing and stuffed up for about a week.  At first we thought it was due to a new litter that we tried.  I have allergies and asthma, so we are normally careful about the litter we use, but our old litter, that we loved, was tracking through the house horribly now that we have hardwood floors, so we decided to try something new.  Well, that didn't work.  I started being stuffed up, so we went back to the old litter.  Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to have helped.  I'm still sneezing and sound very congested, so I'm off to the vet today.

Despite being congested, I'm still eating normally, so my mom and dad aren't too worried about me.  They just know I'm not very comfortable, because I almost sound like Darth Vader when I'm breathing.  Hopefully the vet will have something to help me.

We won't be going to the vet until 1600 (4 PM EST), but we will update the post when we are back.

Thanks for any purrs!

Update:  We are back from the vet.  The good news is that my temperature is normal.  As for the rest, well, the vet isn't sure if she's hearing an infection in my lungs, or if it's my asthma, so she's putting me on antibiotics for ten days, and I have to go back for a re-check next week to see what my lungs sound like.  I also have to have some moisture gel put in my eyes, as my eyes have some discharge (but fortunately it's not coloured discharge, so there's no eye infection).

I'm also supposed to get a "sauna" every day for 10-15 minutes a day.  Since we don't actually have a sauna (unlike our Finnish friends at http://www.pikkupunapippuri.com), that means I get locked in the bathroom with my mom or dad when they soak in our soaker tub or take a hot shower, so that hopefully the steam will help with my congestion.

Thank you all for your purrs!
