In reply to the discussion: I'm having a most shocking crisis with Sian [View all]Siwsan
(27,406 posts)2. Her breathing and eyes tell me she might be going, but she hasn't lost all strength
Every once in a while she stretches out her front lets and grabs my pajama top. but her breathing is very rapid. I hold very little, if any hope, she will last much longer and I have NO clue why this is happening!! Honestly, in less than 36 hours she went from being a very active fur baby to crisis. She's not in any discomfort and so all I can do is hold her through what ever is happening and hope for a miracle. My heart says she might have used that last bit of strength to climb up on me.
We gave Madoc the same flea treatment and he is just fine. She's just over 1 year old. Of course, she was a lone litter survivor feral rescue so there might have been a genetic time bomb waiting to go off.
I will update. Thanks for your kind words.

I've used sevin dust at the farm before. But it's not without cautions.

Checked online to refresh my memory and 20-30 breaths per minute is in the normal range.

Do you have an emergency vet clinic in the area? I'd give them a call ASAP

Do you have a regular vet? I'd give them a call now or as soon as they open to advise you what to do

I remember and I'm so sorry. Be sure to let them know that you have an emergency.
