Oscar, the kitten attacked by a dog.

Yay Oscar! What a little fighter you are!

Yay Oscar! Keep it up little guy! You can do it!

This is truly wonderful news. What a brave little fellow and what a lovely person you are to be so supportive and caring.

A good and bad update on Oscar. Yesterday morning, Oscar became lethargic again and his tongue began to stick out. It was Australia day yesterday and Naya was lucky that the vet was open. The vet she usually sees was on and examined Oscar closely. He noticed that Oscar's tongue was ulcerated. His conclusion was that Oscar is possibly allergic to the other cat food he was eating when he was up and about. This is what caused his crashes and ulcerated tongue. So Oscar is now only eating his Iams kitten food. He's certainly not 100% yet but nowhere near as bad as the first crash, as Naya was able to recognise the signs and get Oscar to the vet quickly.

Hang in there little Oscar mate.

Awww bless his little cotton socks

Sending more (((((healthy vibes))))) over

This story just keeps bringing tears to my eyes. What a little fighter Oscar is. I wonder if he knows how many people around ther world are pulling for him. Sending healing vibes & many prayers to Oscar & his wonderful care taker Naya. Sounds like a kittens never had better care!

Awww, poor little baby. I'm glad Naya was able to get him to a vet and get him checked out right away, and that they were able to find out what was making him sick.

Keep on fighting little guy!!

Osar went downhill late last night, showing the same symptoms as before, including the blank look he gets in his eyes. Naya had made sure he couldn't eat the other cat's food so she was sure it wasn't that. By the time she took him to the vet first thing this morning, he was fine! The vet said that he could be having petite mal seizures which leave him exhausted afterwards. Naya has only ever seen very slight twitching in him. So Oscar is now on Phenobarb, an anti-seizure medication. He's on 1mg morning and night but the smallest tablet available is 60mg so Naya has had to crush the already tiny tablet into a powder, divide it into 30 and divide each of those in half! She laughingly said it makes her feel like a coke addict!

Hang in there Oscar little man.

Naya, it may be worth asking if the vet can order some Phenobarbitone Elixir. It's 15mg in 5ml, so Oscar would need 0.33 ml morning and night.

You're one fighter of a kitty, Oscar!! You can do it!!

Keep up the fantastic work, Naya and Oscar!

Sending continued heathy and healing }}}VIBES{{{

I've just come for an update as well.

Hang in there Oscar sweetie pie

It always touches me so much to see how many people out there are caring and hoping for Oscar. Thank you so much, it means so much to me!

Oscar is doing really well! *knock on wood* He's running around with my other cats a lot of the time (I pick up their food out of his reach) and he happily shares their water. He walks now... but is still very unsteady.. rather like he's very drunk actually! He tries to pounce now too. He pounced on my 11week old semi feral calico girl Lily (another long rescue story on its own!) and she hissed and ran off, and he fell over with a baffled look on his face LOL. He loves to play with noisy toys... he has a favourite which is a round furry ball with a rattle in it and a long tail and he spends ages pouncing and chasing it. He falls over and staggers frequently, but each time he picks himself up, shakes himself off and keeps going. He gets up and down my back steps now too.. sometimes it will take him 6 goes jumping up, but he never gives up.

So far no signs of the problems that have been worrying him lately, since Saturday night (fingers crossed) and he is not needing syringe feeding now. He's eating on his own but as he's not eating that much I have bought him a roast chicken lol and he has some of that as well and loves it!

Currently he's sitting under my office chair chewing on my toes... and I tell you he has sharp lil teeth!! Sheesh. I've had to type with my feet in the air at times.

I must say that Oscar has been the kitten that has needed the most intensive care so far... and I am so glad that I have been blessed to meet and live with this amazing little soul. He has taught me so much.

Naya...you are a kitty angel! I'm so glad little Oscar is going better and keeping my fingers crossed that he keeps up.

All I can say is keep on fighting little Oscar. Sending lots of purrs & healing vibes his way.

Amazing dedication Naya!!!! Keep up the good work Oscar!!!
