I talked to the vet this morning and was told that if it was distempter Sti=
nky would already have died and she isn't getting worse, she is very slowly=
getting better because she hasn't had any fever or runny eyes and nose so =
to give her an afrin drop in a nostril when she sounds stuffy and watch her=
for about a week and if she starts to get worse to take her back again. Th=
ey said if she has gotten a little better it is better not to give her a st=
ronger antibiotic right now,so I guess we wait to see how she does the next=
few days. She is moving around just a little because she tires quickly. Sh=
e was pooping dark yesterday so I gave her some hairball remedy and today s=
he has been pooping normal again.Also a few days ago her urine was a bright=
lime green color but today it is a very light tint of green so the vet sai=
d to see how it is a few days because it could just be the antibiotic which=
she just finished yesterday.I started giving her some pedialite which the =
vet recommended, she took about three syringes full, some mixed with a litt=
le food( still eating through syringe). That is how everything is going rig=
ht now. Thanks for all the advice and help, I really appreciate all your he=
lp.
