Newest Rescue...Poor Milo FLEA BOMBED!

[weluvcats]

Poor Milo...I hope he shows some improvement soon. Bless his heart...Who knows what this poor sweetie has been through. I just hope that his problems are not a result of the flea bomb, as they may end up being permanent. There are certainly many, many prayers being said for him (and you), so hopefully there will be some good news soon...What a wonderful person you are to be doing so much for this kitty.Good luck, and please continue to keep us updated, and let us know if there is anything that we can do.

God bless,

Judy

Just a quick update before heading to bed for a few hours...

When I brought Milo home, I scooped out about 1/4 can of Fancy Feast and he did really well.

It took a while but I encouraged him to eat some more and he did. I was really surprised that he did that well with the food. I was able to get a little more in him so he ate probably less than 1/2 can but that's still pretty good compared to yesterday.

So far tonight he's peed twice and I've ended up just switching out the towels I had down for him.

If anyone would like to contribute to him and supplies (such as puppy pads so we don't have to do so much wash, we live in an apartment so we have to go out and do laundry) that would be really handy. My paypal address is [email protected] for Milo. I understand right now is hard time for everyone but I won't put him down if he is eating and I want to be able to find someone who can care for him more than I can. I'm going to post something on that handicap website about him and see if someone is willing to take him in under their wing.

I'm taking him back to the vets tomorrow and we'll go from there.

I hope they see a small improvement in him.

Last night at 2 a.m. Milo started have seizures, it was the most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life.

I made him as comfortable as we could last night. I took him with me to work early, since the vet is located right next door and in about 5 mins. I'll take Milo over there.

He had another seizure just about 5 mins. ago or so. He's not going to probably make it and I may end up helping him go off on his way to the rainbow bridge.

Oh my, what happened, Melissa?

Oh my, what happened, Melissa?

Well last night, I woke up to check on Milo and Milo was lying next to his cat carrier on the floor and he was all wet around his face and on the one side of his body. He peed in his cat carrier as well so I removed the towels.

I placed him back on his cat carrier and his head wasn't siting right, so I got him to sorta lie down some and his one side of his face started to twitch.

I called my husband in because I knew something was wrong and then he start have a big seizure. I don't know how long the seizure lasted but it was really horrible to watch. I kept praying that God would take him away and let him have some peace.

Once he was finished with his seizure he started panting so we removed the blankets we had on him and the panting seemed to stop and he just lied there and he looked exhausted.

I made him as comfortable as we could last night. I kept checking on him to make sure he was still alive, he slept pretty well after his attack. I went into work around 7 a.m. and I took him with me because the vet is right next door and they open up at 7:30 a.m.

Within 15 minutes of me being at work with Milo he started to have another seizure.

I thought maybe we were passed this but we weren't.

He calmed down after his attack and panted again, as well as some drool was coming out too.

It was finally 7:30 a.m. and I took him right over to the vets to tell him who I had and that I don't think he was going to make the day.

I told them he started to seizure before 2 a.m. and then it lasted for a while and calmed down. But as I was talking he started to have another one and and another.

It wouldn't stop. The one was on her way in and the vet tech gave him some valium and the first dose didn't take so they gave him another dose.

I had to hold him down and try to help him not move around so much and that was really hard, he wouldn't stop having these seizures.

I waited for the vet to come in and she said the best thing for him would be to let him go to sleep.

I agreed. He didn't need to suffer anymore so before 9 a.m. this morning Milo was put to sleep. He just wouldn't stop seizuring. The vet said she thinks it was the toxins from the flea bomb affecting his brain now and their really wasn't much more they could do for him and I didn't want him to suffer at all.

Milo did bite me and he broke the skin the other day and since we are not sure if he became in contact with rabies he is going to a place where they will test him for it and it should be about a week till I hear the results. I'm going to the doctors to have my bit looked at because it's pretty red around the one bite wound. I will be getting a paw print from the vets since I won't be able to get Milo back and bury him. I hated to do that and I wished the outcome would have been better but I think the flea bomb was just too much for him.

I'm going to try to find out the landlords name and hopefully file an animal crulety charge.

If anyone would like their donations back please let me know. RIP Milo. I will add something to the Memorial Section later today.

I'm so sorry. Milo is going to be fine from now on - running and playing and chowing down up there at The Bridge. He knows you loved him

[Medusa]

This is just awful. Poor Milo suffered needlessly due to that landlord's abominable actions. Well, you did the best you could for him, Melissa. On some level, I know that he realized that. He was able to feel your love and the human touch through all his misery. Now he's at peace and you will be, too, in time. RIP, little Milo. You deserved better than the lot that life handed you and now you're getting it at the Bridge.
