Good news about Maddy and a timely reminder about teeth - a similar caution applies to people too.

Philip · « **Reply #105 on:** May 09, 2009, 05:29:47 AM »

I just wanted to highlight the dangers of teeth problems.

When I rescued Maddy, she had terrible Teeth and nearly all of them have been removed.

My vet feels that it was the bad infection present in her mouth which is responsible for her renal failure as it is probable that the infection traveled to her kidneys causing damage.

So everyone please keep a regular eye on your felines teeth.

Wonderful news

Philip · « **Reply #102 on:** May 08, 2009, 21:29:22 PM »

Maddy had a visit to the vets for a check up today.

She is pleased with her progress and things look ok.

She is to continue on potassium and fortekor.

So things at the moment are good.

More healing vibes for her ,she is beautiful

Bazsmum · « **Reply #100 on:** May 04, 2009, 01:10:41 AM »

Aw she is beautiful...so glad she has picked up!

Philip · « **Reply #99 on:** May 03, 2009, 23:26:44 PM »

She is drinking lots out of the bathroom tap which is great as it's helping her get rehydrated.

Sending lots of positive vibes for Maddy, so glad she is feeling better.

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #97 on:** May 02, 2009, 14:12:59 PM »

It all sounds good Philip and don't worry about the deaf as she'll probably not be too bothered by it. Lots of healing vibes coming your way

Philip · « **Reply #96 on:** May 02, 2009, 11:27:09 AM »

Just an update.

Maddy has been started on Fortekor and continues on the potassium tablets.

She has gained a little weight and her appetite is better.

She is still deaf, but my vet feels as this isn't life threatening that I shouldn't worry about it right now.

Maddy seems content and enjoys a good fuss. She isn't hiding anymore.

So at the moment things look ok.

Fingers crossed though. I don't know if things will deteriorate again. Its been twice in a month.

Please keep the healing vibes going peeps.

Philip just wanted to send hugs and good vibes your way. With everything I am going through with Purdey at the moment I can completely empathize. Good luck and hope Maddy shows improvement.

Philip · « **Reply #94 on:** April 24, 2009, 12:22:00 PM »

Well I have gone and got Maddy's meds and started her on them.

Having a good day so far. Maddy went as far as to polish off a bowl of coley (which is the most she has eaten for ages).

She does seem a little better right now, but I know it's early days.

Keep going as planned I guess.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #93 on:** April 24, 2009, 07:41:27 AM »

Fingers crossed the meds work

Bazsmum · « **Reply #92 on:** April 24, 2009, 03:12:36 AM »

Hope the fluids sort her out!

hope she starts to improve now xx

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #89 on:** April 23, 2009, 22:01:51 PM »

sorry to hear about Maddy, Philip. I wonder if it may be worth trying the potassium (+ iron and amino acids) liquid supplement Kaminox to up her potassium levels as well? It is given with a dropper and they don't seem to mind it and it seems to help.
all the very best with Maddy and her treatment

Healing vibes for Maddy xxx

tillywilly · « **Reply #86 on:** April 23, 2009, 20:42:45 PM »

Big, big healing vibes for you both.

I too have a rehomed Raggie who I adore. Previously I have lost 2 cats to kidney disease so I totally feel for you.

XX

Philip · « **Reply #85 on:** April 23, 2009, 19:36:04 PM »

Blood results are back.

Her potassium is low so she is going on some potassium tablets.

Her kidney levels are higher than last month but not critical.

Her infection markers are still raised.

My vet feels that as Maddy did improve with the last lot of antibiotics that it could be pyelonephritis.

So she has had 200ml of subcutaneous fluid today. Will start potassium tablets and further antibiotics tomorrow as didn't have enough time to pick them up tonight as vet phoned with blood results 15 minutes before the surgery closed.

She looks really flat right now, but not like she has totally given up. I will continue to aggressively treat at this stage.

With regards to her hearing loss, Maddy isn't seeming to respond to noise stimuli at the moment

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #84 on:** April 23, 2009, 12:18:48 PM »

Hope the fluids help her Phillip

I really hope Maddy gets better soon, hopefully the abs will sort her out.

Sending lots and lots of healing vibes your way

Oh Philip, I'm so saddened to be reading this

Give Her a Gentle Fuss from me

Love, huggles and healing vibes for gorgeous Maddy xxx and big

for you Philip.

Janeyk · « **Reply #78 on:** April 22, 2009, 18:09:14 PM »

poor girl, lots of positive vibes for dear Maddy

Mark · « **Reply #77 on:** April 22, 2009, 18:08:21 PM »

Sorry Philip

Hopefully the ABs will sort her out. As you know, Willow had a crisis a couple of weeks ago which they think was caused by an infection. Now the infection is cleared and she is on her fortekor & renal diet, she is running around like a loony - this is a cat that was collapsed with pee dribbling out of her a fortnight ago.
There's still hope for Maddy I'm sure

clarenmax · « **Reply #76 on:** April 22, 2009, 16:25:35 PM »

Oh Philip, I'm sorry Maddy's results aren't better.

Sending loads more positive vibes for both of you, she's a fighter

Dawn F · « **Reply #75 on:** April 22, 2009, 16:24:13 PM »

oh Philip how awful for you - don't really know what to say that will help but hugs to you all

Philip · « **Reply #74 on:** April 22, 2009, 16:22:40 PM »

Maddy is seriously ill.

It appears her renal function may have deteriorated rapidly and she is in a renal crisis.

She has had extensive bloodwork taken, a steroid injection and antibiotics. I have brought her home.

She has tolerated me giving her 100ml subcutaneous fluids. I now have to try and rehydrate her over the next 24 hours.

I really don't know right now if she's going to make it. This is happening so fast. Her kidney parameters were only slightly raised a month ago.

Maddy is only 9 this isn't fair.

clarenmax · « **Reply #73 on:** April 22, 2009, 14:46:11 PM »

Sending you lots of good luck vibes for your visit this afternoon

Philip · « **Reply #72 on:** April 22, 2009, 14:08:11 PM »

Dawn I feel so scared right now.

She's so special to me.

This is really strange. Why the sudden hearing loss. I'm hoping she has an ear infection.

Dawn F · « **Reply #71 on:** April 22, 2009, 14:06:00 PM »

god how scary for you - hope you get on ok

Philip · « **Reply #70 on:** April 22, 2009, 14:02:49 PM »

I have just realised. She has become deaf all of a sudden.

She is meaowing really loudly today.

I have just clapped and screamed as loud as I can in front of her and she didnt move. Her ears didnt even twitch.

Now Im really freaked.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #69 on:** April 22, 2009, 14:00:45 PM »

Hope everything goes okay at the vets for Maddy!

Good Luck!

pappilon · « **Reply #68 on:** April 22, 2009, 12:54:24 PM »

Oh no poor Maddy.

Sending positive vibes for her and i do hope the vet can help this afternoon.
