strokes in cats

[sandyg79]

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?

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?

Do u have any new photo`s of juilet?

I do have one that I took with my phone the other day. I'll try to remember to transfer it to the computer, and perhaps take another one or two of her.

Thanks for the update about Ollie. Chicken livers is better than eating nothing. Those kitties can be little stinkers sometimes can't they?

i`m so worried about ollie, he has had another visit to the vets as he has stopped eating altogether, he was given vitamin injections and the vet said we should see a vast improvement, but i`m afraid we havent i`ve tried all kinds of food to give him but he`s not interested at all, even his favs`s he eats a mouthfull then off, he is due to have another blood test in 2weeks , but as he is not eating and taking in the potassium, i`m not sure it will show any different from his last one , i think the vet is unsure as to his illness and we will seak further advice. we can see ollie is ill but there are signs , when he does certain things we think he`s back to himself.............. oh how we wish.

Looks like we have to bump up the prayers for Ollie. We'll get right on it....

Prayers for Ollie - I hope he can see a specialist or someone quickly!

You may have to syringe feed him the A/D wet food for now....


A/D is post-surgery food for cats and is LOADED with nutrition.

HUGS and PT Prayers!

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
