Hi Selchie,
Thanks for asking.
The sick kitty is Purdey again ? the one with the fits. She?s been on meds for a while. The first dosage stopped the fits, but made her sick and lethargic because it was too strong. Using half the dose saw her a lot happier, but the fits returned. Then she developed cystitis and didn?t wee for a week
, which was very worrying and also labour intensive as I had to try to get 7 lots of medication down her very resistant throat every day . She was wearing a trench to and from the litter tray, trying to produce something. Every time she?d been in, there was a mad dash to see if there?d been a result. There were many times we thought we were losing her. Finally she?s over that (hopefully
) and now it?s back to trying to adjust her medication to curb the fits. The last week hasn?t been too bad, but she?s still having partial fits where she falls asleep, but wees where she?s lying
. As you can imagine, this causes no end of problems and I have to constantly watch her and slip a towelling pad under her bum. Anyone heard of kitty nappies (diapers)?
The ankle is coming along nicely but slowly, due to the osteoporosis and my age, as the doc never ceased to remind me
. Was a bit of a shock to find out latterly that both sides of the ankle had been broken, not just the one. Getting about fine now, just have a bit of difficulty getting down stairs. Needless to say, I have a healthy respect for steps and stairs now.
