strokes in cats

[sandyg79]

ollie had a good bill of health at the vets today, i cant tell you how much he has improved the vet is still not sure if he had a stroke or not, from his blood test all they could find was his potassium was low, only comom in show cats as they have a strict diet. As we feed ollie a good diet the vet said it could of been a large traumer that upset him and effected his mussels. ollie will be on a course of tablets to build this up and will hopefully be on course for a full recovery. cant tell you how releived we are.

That's great news. Here's hoping Ollie continues to improve and you have many more years with him.

Thank-you for your concern, ollie is not 100% but hopfully getting there, hows juliet?

[Moesha]

She's still in the bathroom and not 100% either. But she's improving, eating better and wanting to get out and about. Thanks for asking.

cant tell u how much ollie has improved its as if nothing happened he's back to his normal self and milking the attention he is getting, i so hope that is the last of our traumers for him and us, not nice for him or us. has juilet fully recovered?

[Moesha]

That is great news! Such cute pictures of Ollie!
Juliet has recovered and is doing much better now. Thank you. We think she got trapped under the house and was without water for almost 2 days and that caused the dehydration. She must have eaten something that made her have the bloody poop problem as well. Hope Ollie and you have some quality time together without stresses.

ollie not quite 100% had to go to vets today not eating enough to keep a flea alive! as he was poorley he was allowed his fav (chicken livers of all things), now he won`t eat any thing else i give him. the vet said he is now a good weight 6 kilos he was 8!!!! He is so cunning! back to normal food for ollie. Do u have any new photo`s of juilet?

So sorry to hear about Freckles. I have a calico, Puddy, that's in CRF and she's my heart kitty. It makes me so sad to think of any creature suffering but especially our fur babies. Here's hoping that Freckles is back to normal soon and that all will be well.....

He is still being brave eating and drinking , and even still trying to clean himself, but his head is hung so low, he wants to look up but cant, does anyone know why these strokes happen.

you need to have a sonagram of your cats heart, a murmur is what is the cause of my cats distress, it requires him to have lacex the rest of his life but the meds are cheap, and the meds dont stop the strokes all together but it helps
