The second-oldest of my cats, Pepper, has gotten very sick in the past 48 hours. She's a special needs kitty, and has had respiratory problems for most of her life, and right now she appears to have come down with pneumonia. I saw the vet today, and he said her heart sounds okay, but her lungs don't. He gave her a shot of antibiotics, and I have oral meds for her. When we got home, she perked up a little, ate some food, was more responsive in general. Now that the evening's wound on, she's having trouble again.

I don't know if she'll pull through or not. There's a hope, but it's not a very large one. I'm worried and heartsick. Watching her suffer is the worst part of it. Poor little fluff cat. So apologies if I seem out of sorts or less responsive than usual. I haven't slept, and I've cried my eyes out a couple times. It's encouraging that she ate a little this afternoon, but I just don't know. x_x
