We had a very good night but a terrible this morning...........sigh
I gave Franta his jab and he was being his usual naughty self and rolling on his back and making life so hard, took 15 mins to get the jab in which makes us so stressed.
I noticed the red mark on his neck that I saw yesterday was bigger and avoided that bit but after the jab it was like he was nearly paralised aqnd he crawled a bit a lay with eyes closed and wasnt moving but was breathing.
Phoned up vets and they said to bring him then as emergency.
Car was frozen, Ducha was being sick all over place and big cats had no food and I was in total panic.
During the hours very fast drive, I thought he had stopped breathing at one point but then he moved his head, broke speed limit all way! Saw a horrible snidey vet, who didnt do people at all and by this time Franta was sitting up flashing his blue eyes but was not himself at all. Wasnt sure he really did cats either!
He pronounced Franta fine but wanted to change his meds.........why cant they read the bloomin notes......anser was he must not change the meds.......I told him that Franta was not right and I had a problem tomorrow cos the course I cant cancel was tomorrow not Friday like I thought and if I have problem like this morning I would have real problems.
He said I could bring Franta in tomorrow and they would keep him till the evening or he could stay now..............but it was like snap snap fast fast decision................my head was not upto making fast decisions......so he decided that he would go and fill the syringes up to correct level while I thought about it. He also said he could give anti-imflamatory jab which would help Frantas neck and also the abcess in his brain.
I decided that Franta should stay and I would collect him after 1800 tomorrow, he assured me that anti imflamatory would not work contrary to the marbocyl and I told him that the marbocyl must not be changed.
I had taken Frantas food, lacto B incase he had to stay but wanted to give specific feeding instructions, but he said he would send the head nurse to get those. I asked him why the reaction this morning and he sorta shrugged and said he didnt know...............and from attitude and look on face he obviously didnt care either.
The head VN was lovely and gave her the food and instructions, Told her he only answered to Napoleon and hated dogs. She said that cats and dogs were seperated now and also told her he hated being in a cage at vets and has in passed trashed the cage completely. She said if he didnt like being with the other cats, he could also be in a room on his own but I said he probably would be better to be with the other cats cos there would be more people contact and he just loved people.
By this time he was fluttering his eyes at her and cuddling up being stroked until she picked him up, he didnt like that much and I told her he was a clawing, licking biting monster..............she said she was used to that and her arms were covered in scratches! I told her lick turned into abite and she said they had had another birman in who did that and maybe its a birman thing. Also the shouting at top of voice.
She said I can ring in at any time and speak to the nurse on duty, even after hours.......sad the vet wasnt as nice. Steele was his name and also nature!
Sharon was head Vn just so I can look here and remember.
So sadly he is in their care now and hope he will be alright, I am missing him already.
But hoping that my stress will drop a bit cos need to be not angry while on this course tomorrow, which is a car speed awareness course that I was offered inlieu of points on my licence back in mid Sep, this was first course available cos they are targetting drivers on the M4 J23 - J28 grrrrrrrrr. I couldnt cancel it without losing £80 and maybe not getting another within time limit that police set and then getting points on licence.
Will ring about Franta just after 1800 and maybe later tonight, and hope they tellme he is sleeping all peaceful like and has been a good boy and no seizures.
