4389.0. "Bro is to quiet" by MTADMS::BUNIS () Thu Feb 14 1991 12:23

    This is about Mazzie and Bro again. Mazzie came back from the Vet
    and she is fine. She cannot have milk or anything with milk in it.
    
    When Mazzie came back ,Bro just ignored her. He would not play with 
    her but the worst part is that he does not want to play at all.
    All he does is eat and sleep. For a 7 week old kitten not to play
    at all seems strange. He is constantly on my lap or shoulder and
    sleeps. It has been 2 days since Mazzie came back.
    
    My wife wants to take him to the Vet but I dont want to make a pest
    out of myself going to the Vet every time something out of the ordinary
    occurs. 
    
    Ant suggestions?????

4389.1	You could call the vet and ask	STAR::BARTH	Dream until your dream comes true	`Thu Feb 14 1991 12:27`	8
	Please don't worry about making a pest of yourself with the vet. If you're concerned, take him in, or at least give them a call. Sometimes I've called the vet, described what I was worried about and they've reassured me that everything's ok. Sometimes they suggest that I bring them in. That's what you pay them for! A good vet won't mind the phone call or the visit! Karen, Ryan and Tenzing.

	Certainly call the vet. That's what they're for....

	Anytime you see behavior that is grossly out of character you should be concerned...a kitten that refuses to play and sleeps all the time is very out of character. Call your vet and talk to him/her. as .2 says - That's what they're for. Besides this will help you learn more about caring for cats. Nancy DC
4389.4	Bro is at the Vet	MTADMS::BUNIS		`Fri Feb 15 1991 11:44`	7
	Just came back from the Vet. We had to leave Bro there overnight. He had a fever of 105 and the Vet said it was a bacterial infection. He will be on antibiotics and blood tests will be taken. Now Mazzie is running all over the house looking for him. Thank you all for your support. Marty

	Poor Bro. Let us know how he is doing. Hope he is home soon.
4389.6	Poor Bro....	WILLEE::MERRITT		`Fri Feb 15 1991 15:24`	16
	I'm so happy you got Bro to the Vets... Don't ever feel you are pestering the VET... They love your money. Honestly I have seven cats and I usually have to visit or call the vets atleast once a week for something. I call and explain the symptoms...and the vet either suggest I bring him in or gives me advise on the phone as to what to give him or what to look for. Of course...I'm a pankicky Mom....so my Vet always laughs at me. Sandy

	We picked up Bro Saturday and he is better than new. He is so full of life it is unbeleivable. Now for the first time, Mazzie cannot keep up with him. He is the cutest ball of fur you ever saw. I will never hesitate to call the Vet again. My thanks go to all, Marty
