Unfortunately no cause could be found. Even the labs investigating the lungs and kidneys came up empty. Both organs were affected by some sort of inflamatory disease, but no agent has been found. Instead of continuing to pay for research I decided to stop here, as the vet said the danger to Tina...

Thanks guys. Yes Tigger was the pretty boy, tina is a cute devil. He had this special pose where he was sitting on his hind legs, his forelegs really close together and his tail sloping around him and his head up. He was sitting exactly like one of those egyptian gods. Fortunately I have some...

Thanks Huggles, I just wish I had a fast forward button right now. I never thought it would be THIS hard. Somehow time passes incredibly slow right now for us. Tomorrow we will get some easter suprises for Tina at the Pet store, open up the room and try to distract her as much as possible. I am...

Thanks for all the tips. I was afraid of opening up the room as it will become even more obvious to Tina that Tigger is gone. I used to lock them out of the bedroom at night, as they were always jumping around and we couldn't sleep. During the last days I had the bedroom door open for Tina...

Thank you Mary Anne, you have been a wonderful help to get me through this and to help me make tough decisions. I really appreciate your help and your concern. I have only erased all scents in the room where Tigger was kept during his sickness. I have destroyed the litter box and the food stuff...

Hm. She is not happy, thats for sure. Anything I can do to help her out? When should I let her in that room again? I only have a two bedroom apartment and she usually roams freely. Dani and I are getting very nervous and anxious when Tina starts licking herself or she hears a noise outside and...

Once more I would like to extend my thanks for all of you who have taken part in Tiggers final days: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...&postcount=135 It is now time for us to focus our attention on Tina, Tiggers Sibling. She has had an especially hard time, since we kept her locked up all...

The mirracle did happen, but not the way I had planned. Tigger has gotten worse and we finally found the strength to do what is right for him. Yesterday night did not go so well and in a moment of clarity he said goodbye to us. He did not eat much anymore and was very passive. Today at the vet...

Ultrasound and X-ray showed nothing wrong with the diaphragm. The hickups were probably just helping out his lungs which did not hold the normal amount of air. By having these contractions the lung would suck in more air. He is calm now. Again he wore himself out and is lying peacefully here...

The Doc suggested an MRI but I am not sure. It either tells us something bad or it will tell us that the treatment we are doing right now is correct. It costs another 1.5k. I feel bad talking dollars, but I already spent this much without results. He is being treated for a number of possible...

Don't have to check. I know he did that. I can't imagine though that he does it right now. He chewed through several of my headphones. Every time I forget to put them away. I would say no. We don't groom him. The shaved belly is due to the ultrasound the Doc did. Even so the first seizures were...

I had to leave the room for a while. Here is the video: Tigger Video Don't watch if you have weak nerves. He has been doing this for over an hour now.

I am videotaping him now. Hopefully I can get some input later. Ever since he got home he is obsessively licking himself. Never stops longer than a few seconds and it looks obsessive compulsive. Seems his nervous system really took a hit. He was similar yesterday, but with more seasures and less...

Allright. Thanks guys. We decided to bring him home tonight. I will go to the vet and check out how he is being medicated. If I think I can manage I will try tomorrow morning, otherwise bring him in again. I know its a lot of stress for him either way (staying or transporting) but if I cannot...

Yes I could bring him home. Thats what I have been doing for the past two days, but he gets more and more upset during the transfers and had a really bad time yesterday after getting home. It took between two to three hours until he finally settled down a bit and didn't have seizures. That was...
