Toxoplasmosis Help!

[sirrahbed]

I am so sorry Carrie

I just read through this thread and of course am very sad to read that Sasha is now gone....but, I am glad that she had a happy life and was loved. Maybe someone else can read about her condition - and another cat may be allowed to live out it's life.

Hugs to you.

OK you guys made me cry Its been a tough week without her thats for sure. No its not a death sentence, what I mean by that is that there is no research on it, no one i know has ever even heard of it, it is rare, but the problem is its because most are euthanized and diagnosed as FIP or Distemper, etc. and this is done because these diseases can show some of the same symptoms as Myotonia, but the difference is the symptoms are NOT all there, all but 1 or all but 2, where as Myotonia she had all of those symptoms, and was diagnosed with it from the neurologist, I am finding it hard to have her not here, it is breaking my heart, the few that knew her, like my vets office, are very saddened by this, she was a wonderful kitty, and very special to say the least. She would win the hearts of everyone that saw her and knew her. Many times over I was told FIP and to euthanize, and I did not, and I moved on and on till I had an answer that fit, and so everyone was with her and I through this, and her strenth and my persistance we moved forward with what we had. She has taught me and everyone ALOT, and I, for her, will make sure that every one in my path will know what Myotonia is, its not a disease, its a condition, The Problem is the medicine to help with dogs that have this condition is Toxic to cats, therefore there is nothing for them . Thanks for your wonderful replys, I miss her alot and cant wait to see her again someday

I'm so sorry to hear about sweet, precious Sasha. Poor baby, thank goodness she had you to care for her so lovingly. I know you miss her terribly, but rest easy knowing you did all you possibly could do for her.

Play hard at the Rainbow Bridge, little one. Your meowmie loves you.
