Sorry Helen - I just saw this and I was bothering you about binders dosage - sorry

I really hope there is better news on Monday

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #48 on:** July 07, 2013, 00:57:40 AM »

Not great news from the vets today, he had about 5 mini seizures between 7am and 2pm and that's despite being on the anti-seizure meds so they have added another anti-seizure drug to his medications. They said he was eating well and was being quite vocal in between seizures but that doesn't sound like him as when he's at the vets he is normally very subdued.

They don't allow visits at the weekend but whatever happens with the MRI I will go and see him on Monday. I've kept myself busy today with family stuff and have been OK as long as I dont talk about it but as soon as I set off for home knowing he wasn't there I started balling my eyes out again

Thanks again for all your good wishes, it really is comforting knowing that others care about him too

jezebel · « **Reply #35 on:** July 06, 2013, 09:41:42 AM »

Only just seen this, poor Riley.

We have fingers and paws crossed that the weekend passes quickly for you and that he's back to his usual self soon. Are you able to visit him?

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #34 on:** July 06, 2013, 09:37:54 AM »

So no news is relatively good news then Helen

My heart goes out to you. The sun shining today will be meaningless for you. Try and keep busy if you are able to concentrate on anything that is.

I so hate it when any of ours are at the vets even for routine stuff.......... ya know, having typed that, when Bobby was hospitalised during the day for a few days at our vets last summer during his cat flu bout, it was the only time I felt able to semi relax. So knowing Riley is in the best possible hands should hopefully provide you some comfort.

I'll be thinking about you all every day until this has cleared up. Never met our Riley lad, or the gorgeous Lu or indeed your good self but feel I know you all so well

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #33 on:** July 06, 2013, 09:27:59 AM »

Thank you so much for all the good wishes, they are very much appreciated

They didn't ring overnight which is a good thing, when I saw the specialist yesterday he said that I would get an update Saturday afternoon and other than that they would only ring if there was any change in his condition. You can't ring in during the weekend as the phone line is for emergencies only but having seen the facilities and spoken to the vet I'm confident he's in good hands.

The vet suggested waiting until Monday for the MRI, priority over the weekend is to get his seizures under control. The anti-seizure medication will make him drowsy/sedated which is a good thing while he's hospitalised so that will help stop him feeling frightened as he will be a bit 'out of it'.

This has just come as so much of a shock as he really was the biggest, healthiest lump - no inkling of anything wrong beforehand

His appetite has been fine, he'd been alert, active and very affectionate still.

Oh God Helen

Thank heavens Riley got to a specialist so quickly. Presumably they will be able to rule out some things as his garden is cat proofed.

Sending the strongest of possible vibes for our darling boy

You won't have slept I know and can only assure you that Riley, Lu and of course our lovely friend Helen

will be in our thoughts whilst you are all going through this ordeal.
