Lumos Update
tl;dr: she was doing a lot better when we left the vet and now is doing less so D:
Her x-rays came back fairly clear, other than the fact that she's been swallowing air- probably because of how congested she's been ;w; She's been gulping air while trying to breathe and now she's full of air + gas. They gave her an injection to take down inflammation and get rid of nausea. And holy shit did that work wonders! Within half an hour, she was breathing much more quietly, was more relaxed, and just in general seemed to be doing better. Yay!
They sent us home with the pill form of the injection they gave her + an antibiotic, with instructions to call next week to see how things are doing. Pat and I got Wawa and then I fed Lumos treats in the parking lot, and she finally ate something!!!!! So we were feeling a lot better. She even ate most of a package of her wet food when we got home :D
Pat had a queer speed dating thing tonight, so it was set to be a nice, chill evening in for me and Liz...which it was! At first!!! Until we realized that Lumos was getting louder again D: But also it was late enough to try to get her to eat another meal.....which she was not interested in at all.
Okay. Well, she has to take her antibiotics without food, so let's do those?
NOPE! It was a liquid antibiotic and she threw it up almost immediately ;w; She's continued to breathe very loudly ever since, though thankfully in the last 15-ish minutes her breathing has started to calm down again. She still has no interest in food or drink, though.
Please everyone keep her in your thoughts ;w; I'm still not over Ethyl passing in 2023- I cannot handle anything going wrong with Lumos right now. I'll just die ;w;

Awe, sorry she was rejecting it. Hope things get better, in my prayers.

I know my cat got worse after a vet visit and then just randomly started to feel better when we took a break from visiting the vet over and over during it. Going to the vet is a stressful ordeal for most of our furry friends so it's easy to get wrapped up in the emotion of it all when she could just very well be worn down from the trip. Hopefully a bit more rest at home has helped her ♡
