Newest Rescue...Poor Milo FLEA BOMBED!

[Anikaca77]

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?

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.

I added something to the Memorial Section.

Thank goodness Milo had you to care for him, doing everything you could to help him live, taking him to the relief of his ending as fast as you could. How very, very sad that just when he'd found loving arms to care for him, he was too sick to save.

I'm sorry you had to go through the trauma of seeing Milo's seizing, especially when they went on and on, it's a really dreadful thing to witness. You just want to scream at the vet to stop them happening whatever they have to do. Surya had only one and I remember shaking so much as I bundled him in a carrier and raced him to the vet that I was hardly in control of what I was doing. Earlier this year as I sat waiting in our emergency vet hospital, a young woman came in saying her cat (who had also been poisoned) had started seizing often and she thought it was time for him to be euthanized. Even as she spoke, the cat starting having a violent seizure in his carrier. Across the room, not knowing the cat and barely able to see it inside the carrier, I felt sick with horror and wanted to join the woman in sobbing "do it now, now."

I hope you are going to be okay. Did they update your tetanus shot? Start you on antibiotics? Also hope you can file against the landlord. I wish we could grab him and flea bomb him.
