Ok. Dr. Heller just called and said that all Coco's tests for FIV, FIP and leukemia came back negative. After hearing how Coco was "out of it" for several hours after his supposed seizure, he feels that he might have what my little deaf cat, Creamsicle, has: an inflammatory brain disease. (After much testing, they were never really able to determine exactly what Creamsicle has, so they started her on an antibiotic and cortisone and she improved immediately. She now is off meds totally and has only a slight palsy.) Coco, as mentioned in my last post, still staggers a little to the right, which Dr. Heller says, in his opinion, rules out epilepsy because he wouldn't normally be exhibiting any symptoms this morning and he would've snapped out it after an hour or two last night. So....he's recommending an antibiotic and prednisone, starting today. At least I know now that what he has isn't contagious to my other cats.

Sigh. Since my move a month ago, I've had 5 of my 8 cats in to the vet. And it's all the younger ones. My old guy and gals just keep on keepin' on. Aw, it's ok. I just want my furkids to be healthy and happy and safe.

Thanx, friends, for all your feedback and encouragement. I'll let you know how the meds are working.

Blessings,
Mary
