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.

Lizzie-

Thank you so much for your kind words. I actually had a tetanus shot back in 2006 when I did that Bellefonte rescue and a female stray cat bit me a couple times and I got the red streak from her and it was pretty infected that time as well.

The doctor did give me antibiotics and the redness is already gone this morning

I hope I can file a case against this landlord. I did manage to speak with the kid who originally had the cat and he released the landlords name and his old address so I'm pleased and hopefully we can do something now. No cat should have to suffer the way Milo did and I wished I really could of saved Milo. I loved him so much even though I only had him Monday night thru yesterday morning.
