Hi Everyone, I took Silvie back to the vets on Monday for a check up, she just sat there, walked a little bit. Vet was very concerned, said that her priority is with the cat, not the owner and if she didn't pick up she would make the decision for me. Gave her another steroid jab and she has to stay on the Metronidazole for another week and I had to let them know the next day how she was. Fast forward 2 days. Silvie was eating for England, she must have had about 5 small tins of Gourmet pate in one day
on tuesday I realised she hadn't wee'd for a few days, was a bit concerned so rang vet, she said may be neurological, tumour in bladder, blah blah, think they are getting fed up with neurotic me! anyway massaged her belly then carried her out to the garden and she had a little potter around, then after half an hour - she wee'd!! and wee'd. and wee'd.

Since then she has been much better, although I then realised she hadn't pooed since last Thursday and her belly was getting bigger and bigger! I put katalax in her food, olive oil, massaged her belly etc. She sat in her tray a few times and tried but nothing came out. Last night I went to bed and plonked her in the tray one last time, not bothering to look. A few minutes later the smell hit me! She had done nearly a week's worth of poo and I swear she was smiling! So from a cat who was comatose last Saturday to today, where she is coming downstairs, walking round the garden, eating non-stop its little more than a miracle. She is still sneezing quite a bit. She is still on the steroids and antibiotics, I just hope they are not masking anything nasty and that the new antibiotics have helped clear any infection she may have had and I can prove the vets wrong!
