Franta had another attack this morning, 11 hrs from the last one again.

He had been feeling well enough to get on the bed, although his brother was doing as much as possible to block him...........sigh. Anyway he made it and had taken over all the pillpw and I was dozing off agin and then I heard his teeth start chattering and the drool was coming so put him on the floor cos he jumps and runs and thrashes so safer on floor.

The attacks last well less than a minute and he has now had his injection and had eaten a pouch before that and is lying on the floor in the bedroom fully aware.

Think if I had known when the attack would come I would have slept better butter he also woke me up around 0330 meowing to be stroked, he was and went to sleep by the side of the bed.

Must go and check him now cos its an hour since the injection and last two days had an attack about an hour later.

for you

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #787 on:** July 06, 2009, 00:23:37 AM »

all.

Sorry just rushing through cos need to get Franta upstairs and go to bed.

Was hoping abs would kick in today but he has had 3 attacks the last one around 2230, I was hoping it wasnt gonna happen cos we were way past the time i expected and 11 hours since last attack.

I hope this means we may get through the night without one and maybe they are getting further apart.

Am wondering if he was given bigger doses at the vets the last time at the beginning cos he was much worse then than he has been this time but he is still having the attacks and he eats loads after everyone, and also between.

I feel so sorry for him and he was sitting next to me aqnd I heard a growl.......had forgotten thats what used to happen the first time....and then it srated, so he can feel it coming.

I think he was maybe partially blind after but not for long but he is just out of it and it takes a long time for him to recover and he stays in one place.

He is lying down in the front room at present and I need to get him back upstairs.

Shut me, him and ducha in bedroom last night with food and litter tray, but sleeping with the bedlight on is hard. He had an attack about 0230 and then the next an hour after his jab around 1115 this morning. So he has had 3 attacks every day for 3 days now.

Not sure the abs are working

I dont know what convulsing looks like

No vets dont think its epilepsy, most likely its an infection or a tumour. Suspect the former cos if it was a tumour I dont think it would have got better last time

I think you could be right Gill

our Timmy had a few convulsions and went totally blind immediately and that was a tumour, Schui just got worse too and that was a suspected tumour so lots of healing vibes heading Frantas way - hoping he's starting to pick up now but abs can take a while to kick in

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #780 on:** July 05, 2009, 08:42:20 AM »

Gill do hope all was well lat night and this morning

Bazsmum · « **Reply #779 on:** July 05, 2009, 03:20:02 AM »

Oh what an awful time for Franta and yourself, It must be so devastating for him to go through and you to only be able to watch!

Abs usually take about 48hrs to kick in Gilly.....not long to go now!

Here's hoping they work their magic on our gorgeous boy!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #778 on:** July 04, 2009, 23:18:31 PM »

Thank you

I am so tired I am off to bed now but suspect I wont get to sleep till after another attack................sigh

Hope the meds kick in tomorrow.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #777 on:** July 04, 2009, 22:34:12 PM »

Hope he is settled through the night Gill

Will be thinking about you both

maryas · « **Reply #776 on:** July 04, 2009, 22:21:58 PM »

Hope he pulls thorough it all again Gill. Try and be strong (easier said than done, I know).

Love Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #775 on:** July 04, 2009, 21:36:15 PM »

He has had another attack tonight but didnt go blind this time, so thats good news at least.

Thanks for all the vibes cos he still needs them

No Rosella cos I dont want to stress him but he is in the bedroom where his brother is. He managed to get food and water all over the floor, poor boy and this was only half an hour after I had a long cuddle session with him and he was following me around up there.

Wonder if me leaving made him get stressed ...........................

Its so hard not to keep going and stroking him but once he recovered and ate and settled down again, I have left him.....may be it was just a coincidence.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #774 on:** July 04, 2009, 20:01:17 PM »

Do hope ABs kick in very soon Gill but am pleased it doesn't seem to be as bad as last time

Am sure it must be right to keep him at home if at all possible. Are you confining him to a room Gill?

Yvonne · « **Reply #773 on:** July 04, 2009, 18:53:03 PM »

Positive vibes coming this way too - is Franta any better?

Kirst · « **Reply #772 on:** July 04, 2009, 18:27:09 PM »

Loads of positive vibes for Franta.

clarenmax · « **Reply #771 on:** July 04, 2009, 16:47:21 PM »

Topping up with more vibes for Franta, and I hope the meds kick in to stop any further attacks.

bunglycat · « **Reply #770 on:** July 04, 2009, 16:32:49 PM »

Poor Franta and poor you - hope its just an infection and he starts to get better real soon.
Lots of healing and get well Franta vibes and big

to you all.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #769 on:** July 04, 2009, 16:24:27 PM »

Think you are right about the infection Gill.

So sorry to hear about poor Frantas turn during the night. Do hope he settles now

Poor Franta and you, I'm keeping everything crossed that the meds soon start to help xx

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #766 on:** July 04, 2009, 13:08:32 PM »

is he actually convulsing, Gill?

could it be epilepsy?

Daisymac · « **Reply #765 on:** July 04, 2009, 12:45:06 PM »

Oh Gill poor you and poor Franta, lets hope the meds work soon, I wish I could offer you more than a

but I have no experience of this at all.

Thinking of you and Franta and Teabag and Uby say 'getz well sun mayte' xxx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #764 on:** July 04, 2009, 12:41:52 PM »

Franta not too good and I have finally seen a full blown attack, around 0030 this morning. Seems he is now having a full blown seizure as has is rolling arond on his back thrashing and also is slightly wetting himself. I noow know what I thought was also happening cos he has just had another attack and that is he is going blind. This recovers in about an hour and he can now see again although not 100% I think.

Have just spoken to the duty vet and she says that blindness often happens after a seizure but she thinks he will be happier at home where the surroundings are familiar but is willing to have him in under observation at any time over the weekend.

Last time it took a couple of days for the marbocyl to start working and I have given him his fix this morning but a bit didnt get in cos found it on the bed........sigh. The vet just laughed................

Although the attacks are different and the added blindness, he is not as bad as last time when he was having attacks every hour, and every 3 hours when the marbocyl was started last time, so I am really hoping things will improve.

The problem is that without an MRI it cant be found whether he has a tumour, or whether its something they just cant see

Hope Franta had a good night and meds helping

More positive vibes for our fave Franta~~~~~~

Im sure the meds will work Gilly!
