    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    I am not sure which steroid he gave her as he didn't charge me. I think they feel guilty about what happened to Purdy. Purdy has no sense of smell at present. Gave her another syringe full about half an hour ago and she was more responsive this time. A bit of hissing and spitting but the...

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    I had fed her with a syringe when she first came home and tried again today. It was a fight and she was getting so distressed I gave up and went and had a good cry. I will try again later as it will not be good for Purdy if I am stressed when trying to feed her. I will also have a look for...

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    Just thought I would give an update. I was not happy with Purdy being in the bathroom as the floor is tiled and she was looking like Bambi on ice as she tried to move. I have made the dining room Purdy proof and she seems much happier there. As the floor is carpeted she has more purchase and...

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    Thank you I will try that. I agree with you that it is probably a source of comfort to her. it is just heartbreaking that this little fur ball who was so independent and clean is now in this pitiful state. I just pray that she will recover.

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    Thought I would give an update to all you who have been caring enough to share your views. I am extremely grateful. I put Purdy in the bathroom last night about 10pm. I then spent the next few hours listening outside the door to make sure she was not in any distress. Not a sound. Wow, so...

All the bloodwork and everything else was fine with no problems and the vet says there is no explanation. Purdy is not a cat you can pick up and cuddle and nevers slept with me as all my other...

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    Thank you again. I have a box for her and the large bathroom is not near my bedroom, thankfully, although I will be able to hear her if she is in distress. Have everything all set up and will try her tonight. Tried her in the small yard but the wind is quite strong today and she definitely...

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    Thank you Cat Person, you make me feel like I am not alone. I have no access to a dog cage so that is why I thought of the bathroom. At present she is roaming around the lounge, bumping into things and yowling like a banshee.

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    I had a feeling I was being cruel, but I think it is a case of being cruel to be kind as she is not a happy little cat.

    Deaf and blind cat, Help!!

    My 16 year old female had an op last Tuesday to have her bad teeth removed as she was unable to eat. After the op she was left paralysed, deaf and blind. Her movement is returning but not her hearing or eyesight and I am getting no sleep. Purdy has never been a cuddly cat, she only comes to...
