Poor little Murphy isn't very well at all...he hardly ate anything yesterday and refused his food again this morning...didn't want to play...just stayed asleep.
So we took him to the Vet this afternoon.
She thinks he's probably been 'cooking something' for a while...
He's staying in while she takes bloods and re-hydrates him...she said she'll tube feed him as well.
Poor little chap.

Hope little Murphy feels better soon. He should feel the benifit of fluids quite quickly. He is in good hands at the vets. Try not to worry too much Easy to say but hard to do. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Oh dear vashti I hope it is nothing serious. Poor little mite. Let us know how he gets on please x
Oh no,sending lots of healing wishes for the little soul,bless him. Just read your other post,I still think the authorities should condemn the place where little kitty came from,most if not all the animals must be poorly,and they must see that it amounts to cruelty,I am surprised the vet has not reported them.
So sorry to read about Murphy!! I wish him well and you with the worries. Is there such a thing as an SPCA type place near you. Maybe you could let them know about this place Murphy came from. Do let us know how he's going.
That's the heartache of having pets, isn't it? They can't tell you precisely what's wrong when you want to help them. I'm sure the vet has seen this kind of thing before and will know what to do. Fingers crossed that the Mighty Murph will be coming home soon.
So sorry Vashti - I just hope the lad hasn't used up all his nine lives; at least you've given him a fighting chance. These "shelters" nearly always start off with the best of intentions but sentiment is no qualification for caring for animals. I would far sooner see an animal painlessly euthanised than dragging out a miserable and diseased existence in one of these places. I would report it and get it shut down without hesitation - as I would the puppy farms which proliferate in my own area. Am keeping everything crossed for Murphy but whatever happens you've given him a short period of heaven on earth, so give yourself a pat on the back.
