I have a BEAUTIFUL 8 year old female long haired Russian Blue that is so smart she obeys spoken commands and even does tricks like a dog every time without fail and learned these things almost immediatly when I taught her. I'm worried and am looking for insites on her health, though....because she has never been sick until now. At 2:00 in the morning a sudden illness hit her hard, and her left eye was POURING thick clear mucas and she had very light almost white colored runny stools and her normally nice scented saliva aroma on her furr after she cleans herself began to have an almost "bitter" scent to it. Her ears were very very hot to the touch and she appeared weak but her appetite was still OK but not as abundant. Also, every spot that she used her saliva on to clean herself made the furr sticky and stick up almost like hair spray were on it. I am perflexed. I took her to the vet, he did the full bloodtest thing and also rule out leukemia per my request. I asked him about poisons but he did not think that were the case, especially since rarely is outdoors and for no more than minutes at a time and never leaves the yard or go into the driveway or road - she's way too smart for that. I had a concern about our recent TERMITE treatment around our home since when she is outside she runs to those tall thick grass blades and eats them but the vet did not seem concerned with my concern that the tall grass blades for eating may have been contaminated with TERMITE poison. Does ANYBODY recognize such symtoms in a kitty? Dinker Potts has never been sick, and this illness hit her SUDDENLY. She's so smart, we would all be so devistated if something were to happen to her. (she even thinks she can type, loves to get on my lap and force her paws on the PC keyboard when I'm online and gets mad if I try to move her positions....lol). :confused: :confused:
