That's me back from the vets, he had to get rushed in earlier on as he had another seizure
His toxo results are back and show that he has never even been exposed to it let alone have an active toxo infection.
I discussed with all 3 vets my thoughts about taking him to Glasgow Uni for the MRI and that I was leaning towards not taking him and asked their opinion and they all agreed with me. The new vet has come from Glasgow Uni and she confirmed that nothing could be done if he has tumours which is what they are sure it is and whatever it is is growing/spreading very fast
He has now been started on phenobarbitol twice a day to hopefully stop the seizures so we'll have to wait and see if they work. His sight was really bad tonight and it seems it comes and goes as one of the vets said when he was in on Monday for bloods they were sure that he couldn't see anything at all. They think that his wetting himself incident earlier was a petit mal seizure so I need to keep an eye out for that and if he suddenly goes stiff or anything. We're going to cut some vetbed up and attach it to the sides of his cage so if he has another seizure he can't injure himself hitting himself against the hard bars. He's already got a nasty scratch on his mouth where he has caught it with a claw during one of them
Basically it's going to be a case of trying to keep him comfortable and see how things go. The vets are really upset as they love him to bits, the new vet has only known him since he has been ill and she's totally in love with him already as he's cast his Bilbo magic on her
He's back in for a check up next Friday unless I am worried or he gets worse. My vets aren't on call until Monday but Anne said she's going to give me a call over the weekend to see how Bilbo is doing.
I am so absolutely gutted, I can't put it into words. The vets have been trying to prepare me (and themselves) for this eventuality but it's totally different when you know that the eventuality is definately the case.
