Way to go, Frantaman!

Been following this from afar as have been away at Rockingham doing what a girl's gotta do. It's kinda hard to take photos with fingers ant toes crossed...

Glad the fella seems to be on the mend, Gilly.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1023 on:** September 20, 2009, 18:10:24 PM »

No seizures for 48 hours plus

It took me two ~~stabs~~ tries to get injection in but made it

He is still eating a lot and needs food about every 3 to 4 hours but as long as no seizures I dont care

Thank you everyone for your support and am sure Franta would like to thank you all too, we have two more injections to get through but I am feeling much happier today

but as you can see dont want to go overboard yet

I made a right mess of that lol, hope it looks OK now........sigh

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #1006 on:** September 19, 2009, 14:22:33 PM »

Glad he's doing better today

Bazsmum · « **Reply #1005 on:** September 19, 2009, 14:19:02 PM »

Im just going with what I know about human epilepsy Gill....Did'nt know it was so hard to treat in cats.....

Glad he has forgiven you now (or should you be forgiving him?

) And bless him being near his mum for reassurance....thats nice!

Glad to hear the premium has only gone up such a little.....Now if it were car insurance!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1004 on:** September 19, 2009, 14:15:33 PM »

he is downstairs and up on the desk....so must be feeling better....i am not sure if it was epilepsy that would be the case, cos presumably he would feel better between seizures?

i have read that treating epilepsy in cats is nigh on imposible as the meds are unreliable and cause big side effects.

he has his head on my arm cos he is tired but just wants to be touching me.....so sweet and trusting now lol

his head is a bit trembly.

just got his insarance renewal and despite about £2000 claimed this year, his increase is the same as the others and they have all gone up about £1 a month ,,,,,,phewwwwww

Glad to hear Franta is being naughty

Bazsmum · « **Reply #1002 on:** September 19, 2009, 13:52:26 PM »

Well if Franta is starting to be naughty you know that is a good sign!

Sounds rather ouchy your injection saga...hope the vet trip hasnt affected him too bad as to bring on more attacks!

I suppose it could be epilepsy as it can begin at any age....It would probably be easily treated also without further attacks!

Looking forward to day 5 still but I do think its fab he hasnt had one since 4.30pm yesterday!

You will get through this!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1001 on:** September 19, 2009, 13:45:17 PM »

Well, Franta is the naughtiest cat I know!!

The good part is that he has not had another seizure since 1630 yesterday

The bad part is that he made me lose two injectins this morning and we had to go to the vets to get it done, so one very very stressed ranta and injection nearlt 3 hours late.

I do hope that his good progress isnt going to be affected by today and bring back the seizures.

He slept on my pillow most of the night but still feel like I have had no sleep.

I didnt like the vet today and he is the emergency vet tomorrow and tonight, so do not want to have to go back tomorrow.

What he did say however is that he wonders if Franta is epileptic and I asked him why then doesnt Franta have seizures all the time without months of breaks. He said that seizures can come in clusters like with Franta and if it happens again then blod needs testing.

It was tested the first time and nothing showed but maybe not the right test, I know Rachel was also testing BP and for diabetes, cos of the eating but all was OK.

Its so hard to know what to do because the marbocyl seems to work each time, but would he be the same without it? I dont think I am prepared to watch and wait through days of seizures that could kill him, rather than use the marbocyl when he seems to get better. I dont know if the two vets I have seen since Rachel are just parrotting what she said rather than thinking for themselves as the vet this morning did,

I cant remember if Rachel mentioned epilepsy cos at the time we were note calling his attacks seizures but they are without doubt and only I have seen the full force of them.

I have very painful claw damage to the palm of my right hand from yesterdays episode ouch ouch.

I think that Franta is being naughty cos he is feeling better and if we can get through to 24 hrs without another seizure then think we maybe coming through this one. He is quite dodery on his legs and his head movement is a bit stiff, that could be from yesterday cos he may have strained his neck a bit.

Think he needs to sleep now and trying to keep him away from top of the stairs..........sigh

Bazsmum · « **Reply #998 on:** September 19, 2009, 03:38:42 AM »

Wishing Franta and yourself forward to day 5....Friday must of been a terrible day for you both!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #997 on:** September 18, 2009, 23:21:41 PM »

It took until day 4 or 5 last time before he finally stopped having seizures and think its day 4 tomorrow cos he is on 4th injection tomorrow morning............:wishing:

Janeyk · « **Reply #996 on:** September 18, 2009, 21:59:47 PM »

for you both it must be a worry, hope things soon ease off xx
