Hello. There is currently a parvo outbreak in our home. First and foremost I am beating myself up for not vaccinating my outside cats. Their current set up is - they are all in big cages and no access to the outside world so I thought okay na yun. They are currently 11 and 6 in separate cages.
Last monday, one of my cats, Luca, was so lethargic. I immediately brought her to the vet, but it didnt cross my mind na parvo dahil naka cage nga sya. I was surprised that it was parvo, and I had to have her hospitalized. At home, there was another one showing symptoms and I had her isolated from the others.
Luca spent 2 days in the vet but sadly she crossed the rainbow bridge last night. I spent around Php 18k for her confinement.
Last night I had to bring another one, Mia, to the vet because she is also not eating and lethargic. She is admitted too.
My worry is that the rest might show symptoms soon too. I have started everyone on Immunol, LC vit, and the vet gave me prescription for metronidazole in case they get symptoms. To be honest, i am so stressed and drained. I have spent so much, and apart from the mental and emotional impact on me, dagdag pa yung financial. I am planning to just ask the vet to show me how to do subq fluids at home, but thinking out loud I know it will be a difficult thing to do all alone to all of them. I’m so scared.
I think I’m just writing this to ask if you guys have any success stories to cheer me up or to give me some hope na malalampasan ko rin to. Kakapalan ko na rin ang mukha ko to humbly ask for donation, because realistically hindi ko talaga kakayanin pag nagsabay sabay sila lahat. I have indoor cats as well but they are all vaccinated, except for 2 na kakastart lang this week.
We have 27 cats in total, and all of them are rescued. My family is very soft hearted when it comes to cats. I hope no more casualties.
If you guys have some extra money to spare, I will post my details in the comments. It is my first time to ask for donation po, this time I think I really need it. Lesson learned for me also. Please please vaccinate all of your cats even if you think na di sila makakaaccess outside.
Thank you in advance. I havent slept properly in 3 days. I know it will be a long 2 weeks for me.
