You are right its so frustrating. I know about the brain infection but this is something else grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Good news that the tests are all OK but frustrating that you can't put a name to what ails him. Maybe he just doesn't like the weather. Sending

to you both.

Good news regards the bloods Gill. I know Paddy's always responded well to the appetite booster jabs, and was usually noshing within a few hours, albeit little nibbles at stuff. Hoping Franta will too.

Dawn F · « **Reply #1592 on:** December 10, 2010, 13:06:44 PM »

well I suppose that is good news although we all like to know for sure I know, hope he improves over the weekend

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1591 on:** December 10, 2010, 13:03:32 PM »

I have just got home from vet again with Franta. He has had two injections and hoping they will bring him back to his normal self, one being an appetite booster which must work slowly cos he not hungry!

He also had an anabolic steroid to try and reduce any inflamation he may have but his bloods are almost perfect for any cat of 17 but very good for one with only one kidney. He has a very slight temperature but heart and lungs fine, no lumps and he looks very good but he has lost his voice and is hoarse as he rediscovered it at the vets ........sigh

Its all a mystery why he isnt himself and seemed to have been getting worse over last 3 days,,,,,,,,,,,,,he positively bounced upstairs after getting out of his carrier and now is back on my bed in the same place he has been all week.

Gareth said to give him to monday and if no improvement I can pop down for 5-7 days of syringes of abs for him..........a normal one not marbocyl. He is going away but he will talk to the other two vets that have seen Franta who are Garaint and Emma so they know the situation.

Its all a mystery cos he said Franta is just so good for his age both from the outside and inside.

So really hoping he will improve over the weekend.

So sorry to hear darling Franta is not himself, you must be so worried about him. I hope you can get to speak to the vets and they can get him sorted out.

Sending lots of positive vibes and lots of

to you both and will be thinking of you.

I have everything crossed that the vets can get Franta sorted Gill. I can tell by the timing of your posts just how worried you are.

clarenmax · « **Reply #1586 on:** December 10, 2010, 09:11:24 AM »

Such a worry hun, hope you manage to see the vet today and you can get some answers

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1585 on:** December 10, 2010, 08:56:50 AM »

No Jo I dont think so as he has had this ab for a year on and off.

He hs eeither gagging when eating or hsving probs swallowing, he has lost his voice and last time I heard him shout was this time yesterday, his eyes look lifeless and I dont think he can get down stairs, his tail is down and I am waiting for vets to open. His nose last night was a bit riunny.

Sooooooooooooo worried about him cos this is not Franta.

blackcat · « **Reply #1584 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:23:17 AM »

Could it be a side-effect of the medication? Sorry things are not going your way at present Gill ...

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #1583 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:04:09 AM »

Gill, am thinking of you both, and sending these

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1582 on:** December 10, 2010, 00:30:21 AM »

Its not an off day Mary, he has been like this all week

maryas · « **Reply #1581 on:** December 10, 2010, 00:29:12 AM »

He might just need some more injections Gill or he might just be having an off day.

to you both.

Hope you get it sorted out what it is.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1579 on:** December 09, 2010, 23:57:43 PM »

Franta is no better and am very worried about him, need to try and speak to his vet tomorrow and we may end up going,

He is just sleeping and eating and not doing anything else. he is has tried to head butt me once but was not his normal and he always has his tail up and no more

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #1578 on:** December 08, 2010, 22:51:19 PM »

Been to vets today to seee how long the abs in the syringe will last in Fridge and told 28 days,

I need to have a supply cos really dont think he is going to get past Christmas before this starts again, he really isnt himself. Far too quiet and has just slept on my bed for last two days and he is sleeping at night.

He eats his food on the bed and only gets down to have a drink or use the tray.

Very worrying really

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #1573 on:** December 08, 2010, 18:47:18 PM »

Really pleased to hear this Gill - just catching up after being away, and sending a chirrupy "pppprfffppptt" for Faberlush Frantaman.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1572 on:** December 07, 2010, 22:20:21 PM »

Thank you everyone and hope it just continues and continues.

I think I will be popping into the vets tomorrow and hope I can get some info about the life of the meds and also the towel lol, I have to pass there onway to the pet shop for the cat litter.

maryas · « **Reply #1571 on:** December 07, 2010, 22:05:05 PM »

Fantastic Gill.

Hope you've remembered to make notes of everything to put with all your others as there were some different things happening this time - especially how good he was at the vet and didn't try to destroy the cage.

Love Bonnie and Mary

Fire Fox · « **Reply #1570 on:** December 07, 2010, 16:25:43 PM »

Great to hear the meds are working their magic!

Climbing downstairs requires more balance and coordination than a single jump on and off a large object such as a bed or a lap, it could be that his ears were temporarily affected by the pressure in his head? I have to hold on when I walk downstairs in my favourite pair of heels, simply because the small platform means I misjudge the steps. I also see with my gym clients how many struggle to walk on a treadmill for the first time, as their feet and eyes are sending their poor brain two different signals!

So pleased to hear Franta is behaving more normally Gill. Long may it continue

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #1568 on:** December 07, 2010, 14:34:54 PM »

Great news

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #1567 on:** December 07, 2010, 14:20:26 PM »

So pleased he's doing well. Maybe when the auction is finally out of the way and you can relax more he will too.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1566 on:** December 07, 2010, 13:57:52 PM »

Afraid I lost sight of Frantas thread during the auction but he is still shouting akthough there is usually a reason if I can fathom it LOL

He is doing better now although a cople of days ago I was wondering whether the jabs would need to start again.

He is sleeping more, eating well and also coming for longer cuddle times......they had stopped completely as he was getting closer to the seizures starting.

So all in all I am pleased with his progress now and hope it continues.

Thank you to everyone for their good wishes

bunglycat · « **Reply #1565 on:** December 04, 2010, 15:11:25 PM »

Really pleased he is doing well -long may it continue

Ellen2010 · « **Reply #1564 on:** December 04, 2010, 12:52:39 PM »

So pleased for you and Franta that he is doing so well.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1563 on:** December 04, 2010, 12:21:16 PM »

Franta says hi to everyone and that he is feeling better than he was cos nobody has stuck hjm with a pointy thing

however he still has a way to go and is very twitchy, and meowy at night, also bitey but he is under my chin at the moment

That's a good sign, when a cat is back to it's demanding, annoying self....

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #1560 on:** December 04, 2010, 09:54:35 AM »
