    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    Thank you for your informative post. The vet made no comments except that my baby was uncomfortable. Finally the other day I became upset with her and said WHAT does uncomfortable mean-- my back is pout and having spasms, it is uncomfortable which as your scale indicates can go from not...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    I am sorry I did not get back to you. I have been taking fuzz to the vet and doing her care it has become overwhelming. He expects me to take her 3 times a week We were not in agreement he wants to quarterback from the sidelines. He is in denial (understatement) about her true condition. He...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    Thank you for answering, no one knows except what has been said by numerous people. Yes, my husband did change the treatment to some degree laser M W F in her cervical spine and another antibiotic Baytril. She is eating a small amount of baby food. But, her breathing is erratic and I thought she...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    I wish I would get a response I feel so alone in this. Fuzz is still alive but like a rag doll. She can move her head some, but mostly follows me with her eyes,her hearing is intact. She had another laser 10th I think and my husband chose to do more steroids even though the vet warned him if it...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    How wonderful to still have your baby at 26, that deserves a PTL. My baby is still in terrible shape, and my husband is not doing anything different. He is not talking to me or telling me anything he is going to do or not do. This is a terrible situation to be in, by law I cannot do anything...

    Now that there are off-brands of Frontline Plus ingredients...

    I desperately need to know what to do, I know I have written this subject several times, but the situation keeps getting more and more complicated. As I explained before about my fur baby is this point a quadriplegic and is unable to use the litter box or sit up to eat on her own. We have had...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    In answer to some of your questions. The advantage was given to the other cats since they went outdoors ( fenced yard) but I am not sure we gave it to fuzz because she never went outside. It's been a some time ago like last year. I did look at her pupils and there is a slight difference. But, I...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    For 1/2hr. He didn't offer much. He wants to do MRI $3000, and still might not show problem. We just spent $4000 in april and then $500+ 4 weeks ago from the death of two other fur babies. We are tapped out. I am heartbroken and an emotional wreck. When I read this blog it sounds like fuzzy...

    Symptoms of a stroke or Seizure in elderly cat?

    I really need some input about my furbabie I wrote about a couple weeks ago. She has been being treated sympathetic ally for the lack of movement in her hind legs and non use of left paw. Vet started her onisor no response, then depo-metrol with laser treatments but she still can't walk although...

    Buprenorphine long term?

    This thread has been helpful as somene indicated it is difficult not to worry and I do worry. My fur babie is taking her 3rd laser treatment and got a depo- metoporal steroid shot Friday. I see a very slight improvment, she is still able to use hind legs or one paw. Which means we must take her...
