 :rofl: that is so true and the vet said cos he is being noisy it sounds like he is improving!

He wants to be with me all the time and just have to move around sometimes like now, was cold, it was dark with no lights and I left him watching TV but that didnt last long cos just seen him at the door.........sigh

So now have 4 more injections to give him cos although he has had no seizures now for 2 and half days he gets into a kingd of pre-seizure mode where he just stares without seeing but hopefully if he has the rest of the abs then this will stop.

I have two spare syringes of abs  :shify:

Vet has just rang and its the vet that first dealt with him when he was admitted over the weekend back in Feb.

She has said that she thinks the abs should continue until the end of the weekend and then we will take it from there.

so will need to go and collect them soon, do my shopping and I hope he settles before I go out.

Oh yes the vet is giving me one extra syringe in case of accident again  :rofl:

Glad to hear he's gone that long without any seizures, what a relief! Nerve wracking waiting to see if he stays seizure free after the abs have finished though  :hug:

I am so glad he seems to be on the mend,   he must be feeling better if he has decided he doesnt want his injection today.  Naughty Boy Franta  :Luv2:

Fingers crossed the progress continues and good luck getting the ABs x

No more seizures, thats 48 hours now  ;D

Had some sleep for about 5 hours before he started meowing and climbing on bed!

He has been a naughty boy this morning and wouldnt let me give him his injection, he decided he wasnt gonna have it and was kicking and trying to bite me and lost one syringe full all over the place cos it wasnt in properly.........sigh

Am waiting for a vet to ring me cos Gareth is away on a course all this week  grrrrrrrrr and he told me to ring him, also need another syringe of the abs for tomorrow, which I need to collect today.

I am hoping this is the end of the current episode and it would be great if it never recurrs again. I wont feel happy until he has been off the abs for about 3 days and if he is still okay then it will be a big relief.

Thanks so much for your support  ;D

 :thanks:

He is still OK but a bit quiet and down, which happened after the jab.

Every so often he comes down stairs but he is not forever hungry now which I think is good. Reckon its gonna take his tummy sometime to process the volume he has eaten.

So we are nearly 36 houirs now from an attack and hope its just gonna get better from here on but will speak to the vet tomorrow.

Gill, I've just seen this as tend to 'live' on the health and behaviour bit, focused on my own worries. I'm so sorry to hear that you've had so many problems again and I hope that Franta's going to be ok now and that you manage to cope with all the stress you are under. I know how hard it is to sleep when you are so worried about your little one and just send big hugs  :hug: :hug:

We are now just over 24 hrs without an attack  ;D

I know its early days yet but didnt get a lot of sleep cos he was on/off the bed, lying round my head, then deciding to have a wash and brush up.........................LOL

He is obviously feeling a bit better cos he has come down and gone back up stairs like normal....it was a big effort for him before..........he has hopped up onto the working top and had a look outside, been investigating the front room, the kitchen , the hall and is currently upstairs again.

I will speak with the vet tomorrow cos I also need a replacement for one of the syringes or marcobyl cos it had an airbubble in and I tried to squirt it out but lost too much of the abs. I need to know if he thinks more abs are needed.

I am sure I will flake out somewhere asleep today but still need to keep watch on him and supply endless packets of food, I dont think he is so hungry either which is a good sign.

Thank you all for your support cos it has kept me going for the last few days, dont know what I would have done without you all  :hug: :hug:

Another 24 hours attack free would be great  :innocent:
