Well Janey one of the two threads was here and the other wasnt, cos moved the first successfully but when I came to do the second thought I had gone mad because couldnt finfd the right board so moved too general cc to strt with. then saw that the bloomig thread ahd come from where I waas sending it

But the first one I did move here.

Janeyk · « **Reply #73 on:** January 14, 2011, 07:11:37 AM »

I already moved it, I put it back here in the section Gillian wanted

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #72 on:** January 14, 2011, 00:25:20 AM »

Will move and maybe you should change the title a bit

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #71 on:** January 13, 2011, 21:47:05 PM »

Can this thread go back in R&R general, not in sorted. It was initially in R&R general, not in Cats needing homes, as it was a general thread about Duchess, thanks.

Janeyk · « **Reply #70 on:** January 11, 2011, 06:54:56 AM »

Great news

So pleased for Duchess Gillian

.

Well done for giving her such good care whilst with you. Isn't it lovely that her new family are happy to take her on knowing her history of ear problem. Restores your faith and all that

What great news

So pleased for her , she really deserves it .

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #60 on:** January 09, 2011, 14:59:56 PM »

I am over the moon! Duchess went to her new home yesterday - again, like Minnie the Minx, she'd been with me right from the start - 7 months! and she's the last of the little family (Juliette - her mum, and Bramble - her sister) to go. Yesterday was the first time they'd seen Duchess, apart from the photo on the website, and it was a family, couple plus son (never sure on kid's ages

- but think about 11 or 12), but he loved her and Duchess was really comfortable with them - so having done the checks previously, they were able to take her there and then!

Considering she's 8 yrs old, and the problem's she had with her ears (and being black!) I wondered if we'd ever home her. Can't stop smiling

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #59 on:** December 16, 2010, 23:46:16 PM »

Fingers crossed

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #58 on:** December 16, 2010, 22:34:12 PM »

Might - I stress, might

have a potential home for Duchess - about time, she's been with me right from the day after the cat pens were built at the end of May

. Of course her mum Juliette and sister Bramble (Nancy) both got new homes, so she's been on her own since then. Still got a head tilt, but I put all the info about her ear problem in her write up on the Trust's website and these people read that and are still interested

Mark · « **Reply #57 on:** October 23, 2010, 08:14:57 AM »

Glad she seems much better and happier with feline company

It is so annoying when people are impatient. I remember a while ago, I was busy, but found time to do a local home check. They kept me chatting for ages and we didn't hear any more from them. A couple of weeks later, I bumped into the man in the co-op and asked him what was happening. He informed me that he had bought a kitten

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #56 on:** October 22, 2010, 21:52:21 PM »

So sad why are peeps so impatient!

Hope that Duchess will be OK

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #55 on:** October 22, 2010, 21:47:37 PM »

Duchess has been improving on the steroids, but she still has a head tilt which they vet said she may always have now. She had a check up at the vets today and the vet said her ears look nice and clean and no infection at all now, but the ear causing the prob still has a mass which no amount of flushing when she had the op, could budge.

The steroids have been reduced to every other day now - just as well, as vet mentioned how 'portly' she was looking

Thats prob my fault too - I think I've been a bit too generous on the portion sizes, not thinking about the fact my fosters are confined and not doing an awful lot of exercise

Sadly I was supposed to be doing a homecheck tomorrow for Duchess and Bramble to go together, but the lady has apparently phoned our coordinator to say she's got 2 cats from somewhere else

Janeyk · « **Reply #54 on:** October 09, 2010, 07:26:44 AM »

Glad to hear she seems better

ChrisB · « **Reply #53 on:** October 08, 2010, 23:02:43 PM »

Great news - do hope that she continues to improve

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #52 on:** October 08, 2010, 15:56:52 PM »

Thank goodness for that, they do like to worry us don't they! Fingers crossed she is on the mend now that the steroids are starting to kick in. Sending her lots of

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #51 on:** October 08, 2010, 12:54:09 PM »

Don't they ever make you worry? its bad enough worrying about my own, never mind the foster cats too!!

She seems fine this morning! She was sitting waiting for breakfast, ate fairly well and has even been sitting up on the cat tree looking out the window. When I went in again just now, she'd got up into one of the beds on the shelf in the sleeping compartment, which she hadnt been able to do while she's been so wobbly. She IS still wobbly, but looking much brighter, phew!

cazzer · « **Reply #50 on:** October 08, 2010, 10:31:23 AM »

Oh dear Gilian. Hope she is better today

Cooper & Peanut · « **Reply #49 on:** October 08, 2010, 10:15:56 AM »

A shed full of healing vibes coming your way hun, oh and some hugs

Tan · « **Reply #48 on:** October 08, 2010, 10:12:46 AM »

How is she today hun. I soo hope she picks up very soon. Sending all my love and get better vibes over.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #47 on:** October 07, 2010, 23:43:48 PM »

I think she's worse since she started the steroids

She didnt eat any tea and when I did my last check at around 10pm, she was more wobbly and definitely not looking right, and someone had been sick, don't know if it was her of course, as she's in with her mum and sister, but think it must have been as the other two are bright, eating ok etc. I think it will be back to the vets tomorrow, unless she picks up overnight.

Guest · « **Reply #46 on:** October 06, 2010, 20:41:12 PM »

awww bless her xx

AliCat · « **Reply #45 on:** October 06, 2010, 20:35:43 PM »

Good luck with the steroids. Fingers crossed that they'll do the trick.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #44 on:** October 06, 2010, 19:54:57 PM »

Thanks

I've put her back out in the pen today, she was pretty fed up being in the cage indoors, she hadnt used the litter tray nor eaten, as soon as I put her back in the pen with Juliette and Bram she went and had a good long wee! and then tucked into some food. I started her on the steroids last night, so we'll see how it goes. The fact that her balance is still poor and her head tilts, it doesnt really seem to bother her.

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #43 on:** October 06, 2010, 12:02:11 PM »

Poor Duchess, I hope she feels better very soon

Tan · « **Reply #42 on:** October 05, 2010, 23:47:22 PM »

Poor darlin. Hope she will feel better very very soon. Give her a hug from me hun

Janeyk · « **Reply #41 on:** October 05, 2010, 19:59:42 PM »

Poor love, I hope the meds make her feel much better

bunglycat · « **Reply #40 on:** October 05, 2010, 19:40:52 PM »

Poor Duchess , hope the tablets work.

Apparently , Bungly had her op whilst she was at Chapelhouse and i was told it was around £1000 then, she was also in a bad way after and they nearly lost her !

cazzer · « **Reply #39 on:** October 05, 2010, 19:40:36 PM »

aw poor Duchess. Hope she feels better soon

Jiji · « **Reply #38 on:** October 05, 2010, 19:39:02 PM »

Poor Duchess, I hope the steroids work and an operation is not needed.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #37 on:** October 05, 2010, 17:15:18 PM »

Well Duchess is home (got her in the indoor cage in workroom at the mo - again!) Vet found lots of gunk and theres thickened areas inside and inflammation, but unless they do an op to see what those areas are etc (very invasive and expensive apparently) they are treating for middle ear disease - with steroids (pred) for 2 weeks and review again then. This will reduce any inflammation and hopefully her balance and head tilt will come right, but vet said she may always have the head tilt now. Ears have been flushed too.

She's just sat gazing into space at the moment

- with her head on one side!
