Dear Jen,
Despite all my hopes expressed here, BraveHeart is a very senior cat. And he was very sick. I think you are a realist, as you told us before that BraveHeart was not going to get better.
Any suggestions I have - I hope you understand that I mean them as palliative. Heck, many healthy kitties do not reach the age that BraveHeart has!
That being said - what would your vet think of one session of peritoneal dialysis? It runs at least 12 hours, as far as I know, and I don't know how expensive it is (unless there is a trial going on somewhere), but a lot of us here would help Brave Baby.![]()
Also palliative - some pheno or other (mild) anti-seizure meds.
At least BH went back to eating after his second seizure - he finally has his priorities straight, thanks to you.![]()

BraveHeart will be going on Phenobarbitol.

That's actually what I meant, not amitryptilene. Must've been having a blonde moment. I'm sure this will help w/the seizures. My dog Charmin was on Pheno all her life w/no side effects whatsoever and she lived to be 18 1/2.Originally Posted by jenluckenbach

Gosh Jen, poor you and poor sweet Braveheart.
Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for the both of you.
