Due to Ticco doing so well, we are taking her back to the vets this week and seeing if a steriod injection may help her abit.. Of course she has a terminal condition but we can bide her abit more time...

So pleased Ticco is responding to TLC .... she was obviously feeling down and depressed which wouldn't have helped her condition but now she is feeling loved and safe again it would seem she has perked up. Great news.

Big hugs to Ticco and Caroline for taking her on

Update on Ticco!

"Have just got back from Bournes with Ticco and she has discovered a new lease of life! Emma is suprised at how much she has improved. She is eating well 4 small meals a day and purrs constantly Her tummy is slightly smaller and her breathing is ok It is still only a matter of time but while her quality of life is like this she shall stay here and be spoilt I have transferred her care to AH"

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #28 on:** February 05, 2008, 14:22:07 PM »

is it too advanced a stage to try Destolit? just a thought.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #27 on:** February 05, 2008, 13:48:41 PM »

I have seen Ticco she is a lovely blue (like a russian blue) cat... Her tummy is huge though.. Bloods pointed to extreme liver enzymes, so FIP is not the cause.. She is a little bit anemic as well...She is fine though, a big purr and loves cuddles.. Caroline will keep her going as long as, but at the moment see isnt in any pain...

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #26 on:** February 05, 2008, 10:32:57 AM »

Poor wee mite. Like everyone else, I hope that little Ticco can at least and at last have some love and warmth for as long as possible. What all you rescue foster mums and dads do is wonderful.

Mark · « **Reply #25 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:39:39 AM »

Sharon is out today.
Sharon & Caroline are helping another branch by collecting some cats from another area that is overloaded

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #24 on:** February 05, 2008, 08:03:23 AM »

is the vet sure that it is cancer and not FIP with the fluid build up in her abdomen?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2008, 00:09:49 AM »

Lots of strokes to Ticco and Caroline is so wonderful

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2008, 17:21:37 PM »

Bless her

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2008, 15:07:24 PM »

Ticco is now with or fosterer Caroline. Nothing further was done, she is full of liquid in her tum and is with Caroline until Friday where they will decide if her quality of life is still okay, so we are playing this on a week by week basis really.

if not then the vets advise is to PTS.

Her breathing is okay and she eats abit but we dont think she has long as the fluid may start building up to such an amount it presses on her other organs... On vets advice we decided not to drain the fluid as apparently it compromises other organs and will reduce her chances of being able to breath okay for much longer..

Felix (Caroline) · « **Reply #20 on:** February 04, 2008, 14:34:26 PM »

Lots of love to Ticco and for everyone that is involved with looking after her,hope she has a good few months left so she can gets lots of love and attention she so deserves

Mark · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2008, 09:30:04 AM »

Poor Ticco - as has been said, she will be warm, well-fed and loved at Caroline's - even her dogs love cats

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:26:44 AM »

Hope things work out for Ticco.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2008, 07:53:34 AM »

Aww, I hope Ticco will get on in Carolines home - she is fab for taking in the cases like this.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2008, 19:16:56 PM »

I heard from Carolne (our fab fosterer who is also a nurse) and dosnt mind dealing with the difficult cases, that if Ticco gets on with cats she can spend her time in her home... Caroline lost two elderly persians last year one to similar problems that Ticco has so knows what to expect.. If Ticco isnt keen on other cats then we will have to think again..

But at least we can do what we can... Our last terminal iill cat called Syndey (some of you may remember) had lymphothma and lived for 4 months in foster care... He died in his sleep...

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2008, 18:06:17 PM »

Blast why is it that some little mites never have any luck in their lives. Good luck Ticco I hope you have many months of love and care

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2008, 17:50:13 PM »

Ahhh lbess her. Big hugs to Ticco and everyone involved with her care and welfare

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2008, 17:47:37 PM »

So sad but she will know some love and warmth

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2008, 17:45:32 PM »

Aww, the poor little one. At least she has been picked up and can have love and warmth, and go peacefully with dignity, rather than being left on the streets. I hope she gets a decent amount of time.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #11 on:** February 03, 2008, 17:44:08 PM »

Aw how sad.....Ditto what MM has said.....

Millys Mum · « **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2008, 17:38:22 PM »

Oh bless her, at least she can go to the bridge with a full belly and knowing people cared for her

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #9 on:** February 03, 2008, 13:22:09 PM »

Not good news. Ticco bloods point to liver tumour..results were off the scale.. Will talk in depth about her case tomorrow but it looks as though we can give Ticco a few weeks or whatever of hospice care before things reach a conclusion.
