Well most of you know Vesti had lost a lot of weight recently and we had full bloods done on him that were clear and he started putting weight back on and was returning to be his normal self.
Yesterday in the day and evening he was fine then at about 10:30pm he cameup to me and butted his head against my leg. At first I thought he wanted a brush so started brushing his and he was pushing into the brush on his left which isn't unusual as he pushing into the brush hard along his face, when I went to brush his right side he kept going back to the left so I pulled the brush away and just watched him and found he starting turning in a circle to the left constantly, even when he lay down he kep putting his head to the left and his pupils were huge and dilated, walking again he could manage a rough straight line but still kept vering to the left. Constantly though he kept turning in a tight left circle. We phoned the mergency vets who said to brin him straight down.
The vets was a different practice and a different vet and we told him Vesti's full history. The vet said straight away that it wasn't good, with the history and then seemingly returning back to normal with normal bloods he would have discharged Vesti thinking all was fine and for him to now dramaticaly change so quickly it wasn't a good prognosis, he said guarded progrnosis, when I asked what he meant by guarded he said the worst. He said it was a very unusual presentation and said it was one of 2 things, a tumor on the brain or something else which I cannot remember the name of where air presses on the brain and scull and both were very definate possibilities with how he was now. He said he could give him very strong steroids and sedative and send him home referring him for CT's and MRI's but again said it didn't look good.
With how Vesti was I just couldn't bare to bring him home heavily sedated. put him through daily vet visits, etc as if you knew Vesti yo'd know how much it wa sstress him. For the past month Vesti hadn't been Vesti. Even when the bloods came back normal I always said to hubby about the tumor on the brain that wouldn;t show up and knew Vesti wouldn't be here for the birth of the twins.
We have arranged for him to have a personal cremation and then he will come home again forever.
I have had Vesti for 10 years and he was always my special big boy and always will be. The other cats know something is different and they got really stresse dlast ngiht with Vestis behaviour.
RIP my beautiful Vesti boy.
I cannot type anymore as just so upset and haven't slept much but will be on and off Purrs all day.
