Bungly is back at the vet on Friday - she is eating well although some odd stuff !- she has just pulled my coffee cake over and off the plate and took a big chunk of it and ate it !
Last night it was my egg custard ( the best bit in the middle too !) , some braising steak as well as her gourmet perle and some whiskers and biscuits !
I have felt her tummy and it feels quite big and hard again - i have given her a fusemide today to see if its water retention.
My mouth is a lot better and food is tasting better too -thank goodness -last day of antibiotics as well - so all being well should be fine -thankyou.
Don''t want to go through that again in a hurry.
Its also supposed to be next week-end i go for the London trip i won -will just see how things are nearer the time.

Thanks again.
Bungly has eaten a bit more again today .
She is on steroids all the time -2 of 5mg and she hasn''t had the duiretic for a couple of days so maybe thats why she has eaten a bit more !?
I don't know about the stomach having gasses in it - the vet didn''t mention it when he saw her Friday .

Maybe it is my imagination a bit as i feel a bit sorry for myself as my mouth/jaw is still aching from Thursday - will be glad when its settled down .
I had to go back on Monday and have some antiseptic stuff put in the gap on one side and also have now got a course of antibiotics too .
I have aslo gone of most food and not eaten a lot at all -- the one thing i usually enjoy is my food and also that doesn';'t taste very nice at the moment and i have to eat everything soft for another 4-5 days at the least !

What a tough time you and your kitty have had. Glad to hear she is eating.
Sounds like you're being a great cat slave

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #283 on:** October 14, 2009, 14:45:17 PM »

It's so frustrating and worrying when you think you've found something that a poorly cat will eat, only for them to go off it. I've been through that with Hi life, Hills i/d and senior chicken pate. Now he will just nibble a bit of the turkey pate one. I assist (syringe) feed A/D as well to top it up, as when they don't get enough calories, they go downhill faster. Swampy doesn't mind it but I suppose it depends on the cat.
It also makes him feel better (assuming it stays down!). Does Bungly have tummy gas as that can cause bloating and inappetance?

I also know how you notice any changes when you have such a deep bond and spend so much time nursing and loving them. I hope you and Bungly get lots and lots of cuddles together which you'll both enjoy. If you are like me, you'll keep imagining the worst. It just doesn't help to do that (which you already know). I don't think any of this is predictable so it has to be one day at a time.
Hope you are both keeping warm and a big headbutt from Swampy and his mum to Bungly and hers.

To be honest she isn''t eating so much again - she has eaten a sausage ! and a bit of gourmet perle ,but seems to either have gone off that as well now or just doesn''t feel like eating .
She is coming to bed again now and getting on the pillow -maybe as its getting colder !? and being fussed at whatever time she wakes me up
I do think although i hate thinking it -she is starting to decline a bit . her tummy is definately bigger and its not fluid.
Thanks for asking -Bungly sends her thanks and purrs to you .

If she isnt doing much then she wont need alot of food, try not to worry too much.
Your other option is steroids of course.

I do think its got cold, mine are all starting to sleep on the bed again

I am sorry if you think she is declining, she has done so well and is such a brave girl.
Give her a big kiss from Me, I used to tell Issey about Bungly.....I know Issey will be watching over her from the Bidge and sending lots of love too xxx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #280 on:** October 14, 2009, 00:17:40 AM »

I hope that she will be OK for a long time yet and I have one who has started snuggling all night and he has never ever done that before

Also he says she is eating a lot as its feeding the tumour !

I'm not a vet but that's an odd way of putting it

And also keep cuddling Bungly for now: here's one for both of you from me

Janeyk · « **Reply #268 on:** October 10, 2009, 09:28:09 AM »

awww, hugs for you both

bunglycat · « **Reply #267 on:** October 09, 2009, 22:58:03 PM »

Well Bungly has been to the vets and we are going back on the durietics again -her sides stick out a good bit more but Mr Owen says its the tumour mainly and not a lot of fluid any more -so not so good news .
Also he says she is eating a lot as its feeding the tumour !
She has been coming to bed again lately with me -not sure if its because the weather has got colder or she wants the company /reassurance .

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #266 on:** October 09, 2009, 21:07:36 PM »

hope Bungly is ok and that her mum rests up and gets better soon too

bunglycat · « **Reply #261 on:** October 08, 2009, 22:19:33 PM »

Bungly is still a gourmet perle cat !! At least 3 sachets per day + whatever else is about ( biscuits and Winstons left overs !).
I can see a difference in her sides again -they are definately sticking out more

- we are back at the vets tomorrow for check up and discuss tablets .

Meowmy here has been very brave and had those teeth out today ! - so in a bit of pain and started dropping asleep again - so bit earlier to bed tonight and also since going in at 8am and getting home at 6.30 pm i haven''t been warm ! They had to wrap me in one of those tinfoil blankets after the anasethetic as i couldn''t stop shaking and still not that warm now with fire and central heating on !!

can you explain to the competition organizers, and ask if necessary could someone go in your place with your sister? the outlay for them is just the same, so I don't see why they should refuse

Yes, i think they would be ok about that - its just who she could go with really !!! Also i got the train tickets from Newark to London and she lives in Wales and is coming down a couple of days beforehand on the bus .

My vet only recently gave Swampy baytril after a year or more on synulox for his cold. Baytril works so well in comparison. But he says they can't take it for more than 2 weeks and although his cold has tuned up again, he has to go back on to fairly useless synulox -what does your vet say please?
hope that Bungly keeps eating well and stays unblocked.

Well Kate, he just gave her a Baytril injection Monday night and it worked so quickly it was unbelievable , then one Tuesday and one tonight.
Her nose has cleared up and even her eyes are better than usual ( i usually have to clean them 3-4 times a day - but only once in 2 days at the moment ) he has given me Baytril tablets for another 3 days -he didn''t say how long she could have them as she obviously only needed them for a week .
I can''t see any reason why Swampy shouldn''t have them again - i think my vet would have given them to her for longer if she needed them - my vet is wonderful though

.
Poor Swampy -maybe you should say thats what you want for him and you are willing to try them again before having synulox as it doesn''t work so well.
Pity you aren''t down this way -i would recommend my vet to everyone ( and i have got him out of bed at early hours when Smartie was ill once - 3 times from 10pm -2am !!!)

bunglycat · « **Reply #254 on:** September 30, 2009, 23:15:40 PM »

The only think thats making me think about going is that i ask my sister to come with me and she seems to be looking forward to it -if i hadn''t ask her i wouldn''t have bothered.
When i entered it i did think to myself -i wasn''t bothered about the actual weekend but the £250 would come in handy -and it has -i got a new Sofa and bits for the house and Winstons new house ( a Katkabin)- its only because he likes to sit outside the front door and his old one has been taken over by Baggins the tabby cat from down the road !!!

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #253 on:** September 30, 2009, 22:38:55 PM »

So really pleased she is doing so well again

I cancelled many things because i wouldnt leave Issey, now all i have is a picture to look at so i dont regret them at all

so i totally understand that you dont want to go away xx

bunglycat · « **Reply #252 on:** September 30, 2009, 22:13:58 PM »

Do you know she looks really well at the moment -even her eyes aren't runny at the moment -Baytil has really done her good.
Also yes, Michelle, i think the steroid injection has given her a big boost too - hope she stays ok now she is back on the tablets .
She is not due back now till next Friday .
That competition win of mine is at the end on October - i am hoping she will still be okay then -otherwise i won''t go .
To be totally honest i am not looking forward to it at all - i can''t bear the thought of spending 1 night away from my babies let alone two !
If they had offered money as an alternative -i would have took that .
They sent me the spending money for the trip ages ago now- i have spent it on the house ( and a new cat house for Winston ) and haven't got any to go with either as yet and its only 4 weeks away

They sent me the train tickets last week .

Typical Mark -i went in there Monday -but she only likes the chicken one !
She is now eating for England .
Vet is very pleased with her -nose cleared up and 3 days of tablet now (Baytril) and back to steroid tablets tomorrow as injection is due to wear off -but no more duiretics.
Got her some more gourmet tonight -she is getting very spoilt ,but she has eaten some whiskers today as well.

So so pleased she is doing better - arnt steroid injections just the best thing
