Can't really add more to what everyone's said but I'm thinking about you and Riley and if good wishes and positive thinking could make him well he couldn't be getting more. You've been so helpful to me when I've been worrying about my two that I feel like I know you. I'd be devastated to be in your situation with one of mine. I just so hope Riley gets better soon. x

Helen, I know this is not the news that you wanted to hear, but it did say in the article we were on about that it can take many days for cats afflicted in this way to respond well to treatment. Where there's life.....

Stay strong, treasure. This is such a hideous time for you, but we're all thinking about you and willing the outcome here to be a positive one. Riley will be doing everything he can to fight for life.

Hoping the news today will be better. Sending so much love your way for you, Riley and of course Lu as well.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #354 on:** July 14, 2013, 23:20:19 PM »

Helen, thinking of you

so sorry the news isn't better

but perhaps he needed to be under anesthetic just that bit longer to make sure those fits really get under control? I hope thats the case, and this time it will stabilise him longer term so he can make a steady recovery.

More bad news

He's had two full on seizures since I visited him. The vet rang earlier and has put him back under anaesthetic to try and control the fits. It feels like I'm losing him

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #345 on:** July 14, 2013, 20:17:17 PM »

I am sorry that Riley is not improving as hoped and sending all my bestest vibes that things improve today.

Yes Rosella is right, Napoleon used to gobble a whole sachet of food after a seizure and know that 2 other cats on here also did the same.

My vets didnt believe me but think this is quite common. They had him under observation to see if his sugar levels were down after a seizure but they were not and I used to allow him to eat as much as he wanted and he would do this as soon as he could and before recovering. Recovery would take up to two hours and he used to sleep or just lie resting and quiet and darkened surroundings were best.

After a seizure and his were full blown affairs with urination I would just let him relax and then stroke him gentle and talk to him and as soon as I thought he was able to eat, I put a dish of food infront of him..............eventually I just went to the vets to get his injections rather taking him there cos we got into a pattern of dealing with this.

He never had an MRI cos he was too ill to travel and was having seizures every couple of hours at the beginning of each batch and the batches eventually got so far apart I thought thery were stopping and then they started all over again.

I know that Rileys scan showed something quite specific and its likely he will always need meds now but am very worried about him eating and I am sure the vets know they need to get this happening soon cos they get out of the habit of eating. If he doesnt have to be anethnetized sp? again i wonder if it would be good to ask the vets about his eating and feeding.

I really hope he will stabalize and wonder if the vets have any idea why this all started again.

Sending all my best wishes for Rileys stabalization

Oh dear, what a shame that Riley has had another seizure

However, it does sound as if the overall trend is positive, so try to hold onto that thought.

An acquaintance of mine has a dog with epilepsy and has said that she (the dog) is always ravenous after a seizure, so it might well be why Riley was eating well yesterday.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #341 on:** July 14, 2013, 17:05:24 PM »

Sending lots of

to you Helen and so very sorry news is not better altho it is good to hear that he is able to urinate OK

I recall Gill saying that Napoleon used to eat well after a fit and wonder if by any chance this is happening with our lovely boy?

Was there any change in anti seizures meds they are giving him that might account for twitches and then full blown seizure? Fingers crossed the diazepam helps our lad

Just so very glad he is with specialists that know what they are doing

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #340 on:** July 14, 2013, 15:51:54 PM »

Oh no - I'm sorry it's not better news, Helen. This must be so exhausting and worrying for you. Good that he's urinating ok without the catheter so me and the gingerbread men are keeping everything crossed they can get the seizures back under control and he can continue to improve.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #339 on:** July 14, 2013, 14:52:21 PM »

Oh Helen.

Sending extra strong but gentle vibes for Riley so as not to overstimulate him, and stay positive vibes for you.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #338 on:** July 14, 2013, 13:34:21 PM »

Oh Helen. Not great news. This is such an emotional rollercoaster. Am thinking of you and still sending positive thoughts -you have to begin with the things that are going well and its very heartening to know Riley has urinated without difficulty. One step, and each day at a time x

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #337 on:** July 14, 2013, 12:30:47 PM »

Not a good update from overnight

He continued to have the twitches intermittently after I left him. After his medication this morning he had a full blown seizure

They have given him a low dose of diazepam to try and keep a lid on things but the twitching has been quite intensive. If he has another seizure they discussed putting him back under anaesthetic again. My visit is up in the air at the moment, if he's continuted having twitches/episodes then they don't want me to visit as he needs to be kept as quiet as possible with no stimulation. If he's settled then I can go and see him this afternoon.

On a positive note he has urinated by himself so the bladder side of things looks OK.

Helen sending top up vibes for Riley and you and darling Lu as well

Not sure if he likes cat milk but have found that it worked when mine have been in the vets for any prolonged period as they have been hooked up to drips etc. find that their mouths are dry and they would rather lap food than eat it also I now use Complivet a food supplement - two pumps equals a cats full days calories and its not an awful lot of "food" so may be worth asking about it has put nearly a kilo on to my Calichi boy Wispa he also gets one pump of Flumax another food supplement - since having her teeth out Clio is on it as well and it works a treat as its not to much for them to go at also liquidised sachets of his favourite wet food may be a good idea just to get him "eating" |I use one sachet to equal amounts of water looks like soup but is popular here and it is their normal food with added fluid and food supplement

So sorry to hear there has been a bit of a backward step but tomorrow is another day.

Topping up on the max strength positive vibes and adding a gentle there, there Riley, don't worry, you can do it for mummy.

Helen I know how upsetting it must have been for you but its probably just a matter of letting things settle down after the trauma of the bladder surgery.
