for all the good wishes all, They are so much appreciated
We are back and today Franta is quite chirpy,,,,,,,ummmmmmmmm noisy
He has had no more attacks, antbiotics finished today and Gareth has seen Franta in his noisy grumpy I dont wanna be here state, which made him lauigh.
Gareth is very pleased with him but the criticall time is gonna be the next 48-72 hours as the abs leave his body and its at that point we will know better how he is. The abs have targetted his brain and inner ear, meningitus or other brain infection, if he starts have seizures again after the abs have cleared his system then it means he either needs another longer course and/or a scan.
I have been given a tube of diazapam to stick up his rear end if he has an attack to allow me to transport him back as an emergency but Gareth and I have all fingers crossed that there will be no recurrence and its a matter of taking one day at a time for now.
Gareth has said that he may have had a stroke from which he is recovering, so Sue you are bang on there, and that will account for his sorta slight confusion and stuff. The new blood tests done on the Gower show he is mildlly anaemic but Gareth says for a 16yr old cat that would be normal. He is showing very very minor signs of Hyper-T but the tests have come back with a note against that saying that if he is ill from something else and /or on meds this could be the reason.
He has lost some weight and Gareth thinks this needs to be kept an eye on.......so will need to get a scale Rosella......he is now about 4.2kgs so down down from 4.5 but also this is a different scale that could account for it, although I think he has lost weight over the last week which also ties in with him not eating so much.
All in all right now its one of these
but think will have to wait to see if he is Ok for rest of week before them breaking out big time
One strange thing is all his records have not been passed on from the Gower and they do not have the report from Bristol on the kidney issue or any info about it and I expected that his complete notes would have been passed on. So this and the insurance stuff has still got to be sorted.
Uneventful journey time now.............yes it was but on arriving couldnt find anywhere to park and after circling and attempting a couple of places tried to turn round in a very small place and have bloomin smashed the corner of my front bumper grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Mondeo bumpers are like eggshells and sound like it wneh you break em. The bumber at front sticks out about 6 inches beyond the bonnet and there was a gate with a wall and reckon that the bottom part of the wall that I couldnt see had a sticking out section and I gently hit it, So now have taped up the injury and it will just have to do cos cant afford a new bumper......I am not happy with myself at all!
I was by then already 10 mins late and worried about getting Franta into the vets so guess I wasnt concentrating well enough, although the road was a dead end and so narrow, which hadnt realized ti I had turned in. I should have just driven into the college or thriough that gate....................but hindsight is wonderful grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
