Day Fourteen Milky Wave

[tripperfunster]

Ugh. Milky Wave is not doing well.

He's been doing great for almost two years. Seizure free and pretty much weaned off meds, fat, happy and playful. Then, he had another seizure. A pretty good one too. Not a big deal, he'd had tons when we first got him, but this one really changed him. I put him back on his meds, of course, and he had a couple more before they had a chance to build up in his system, but ever since then, he's just gone downhill. He'd stopped eating much, and became much more lethargic.

I had him to the vet, where she did an ass-load of blood tests. Everything came up absolutely normal. She actually said she'd never had a cat be SO average in that many tests. The only thing off was that one of his liver enzymes was slightly elevated. Possibly from the meds. So we changed his medication (from $20 every three months to $135!!) And, of course, he's not tolerating them at all. He stopped eating completely, and is vomiting 3 to 4 times per day. Just bile, as he's got no food in him.

We stopped the meds (on the vet's rec) and I'm going to give him some sub Q fluids tonight. We've got another appointment on Monday, where we'll probably get an x-ray, but she doesn't think we'll find anything. She thinks it's his brain. Not cancer, but just .. .yeah, fucked up cat-brain, which isn't beyond reasonable, with the seizures and such. If there's 'nothing' else wrong with him, we'll try an appetite enhancer and see if that helps.

Thoughts and prayers for the little guy would be much appreciated. He's used up MANY of his nine lives, let's hope he's got a couple left.

Awe hugs and scritches

He is such a beautiful cat and is blessed to have been found by a loving family.

Thanks. Yes, we really do love his fucked up little ass. ;)

[lrodell.livejournal.com]

I will keep all of you in my prayers.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Aww. My cat is currently drooling on my arm in his sleep, so we'll count that as happy thoughts from the both of us. Hopefully this is just something that needs to get an 'adjustment' out of his system.

The pictures you linked to show a gorgeous happy kitty. :) Nice to see he's got such a good life.

(I did not follow the link to the first post from when you found him because I am a weak man and would bawl)

Oh god, I lived through it, and I still get choked up. Poor thing has suffered so much through his short life.

I hope we can get through this problem.

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

Well, damn it. Fingers crossed.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, damn it kind of sums it up. My fingers are crossed too. Thanks.

Oh no! I'm so sorry he's not doing well. Poor guy has been through so much already...

I'm definitely keeping him (and you) in my thoughts and sending all kinds of prayers.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. Hopefully we'll get some answers later today at the vet.

Geez, so much bad news this week. I will add sweet laser cat Milky Wave to the list of folks in my prayers.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon. Hopefully we'll get some answers late today at the vet.

Awwww! *hugs* Thanks for the update--I hope the little guy pulls through.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Yeah, he's tough. If anyone can fluke their way out of a brain tumour, or bubonic plague, it's him!

[kath-ballantyne.livejournal.com]

Thinking of you all.

I'm sad to hear that.

Thanks. Our appointment is later today, so hopefully we'll get some answers.

[droxy.livejournal.com]

OH NO! But the lucky thing is he has fat reserves, but he has to eat and drink.

Hugs you and sends kitty vibes.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks. He actually doens't have much for fat reserves. he's such a fluffy kitty that I didn't notice right away. I've given him some fluids, so hopefully that will help.
