cat vomitting
How is your cat doing today? I hope things have turned around for him.
About the blindness, cats can cope very well. Cats don't realize they have a disability and they do their best. We had a cat that went blind in her old age and she found her way around the house and to the litter box, even still played. Mary here has a young, blind cat who climbs cat trees with her buddy, and just has a ball. So please don't worry about that part of it, but I hope you found out what was wrong. I haven't heard of the tidy cat thing, so thanks for posting that. That's pretty scary, I've got to check our litter. Let us know what's happening, Rhonda nldiggs99 via CatKB.com wrote: Phil: No endotoxic shock isn't ruled out, he is in the vets hands now and they are going to try treatment for this. Basically, this is the last thing to try. The rest of the things are not curable, talking like brain tumor and a couple others. This morning I got more bad news on Kramer. He is blind right now and they don't know if it will be permanant, he can't hear either. I went to visit him and he did sense me there I'm pretty sure. The vet said he hadn't been talking or nothing, and hissed at everyone that came near him, but when I went in and pet his head he started to talk to me. I have been so tore up with this, crying for about 4 hours now. The decision I have to face if this next thing doesn't work. The toxcosis is our last hope, and still he may never see again, and honestly what kind of life is this for a 2 year old cat? I was researching, have any of you heard of the Tidy Cat issue? The clay in it and the case there was regarding it? http://www.thelighthouseonline.com/a...hornfeldt.html here is the website regarding this. I won't know nothing until tomorrow to see if any of the treatments for this toxicosis is working. Thanks for all your help everyone.... Phil P. wrote: Well I have not such good news about my kitty.

Hi everyone:
I hate doing this, but I got more bad news today. I will have to let my Kramer go. He isn't responding to the meds they were trying and he had a grand mal seizure again this afternoon. The vet is not confident at all he will ever get better. It's leaning to a brain mass, swelling of the brain, anurism, any of these are just all terminal. This is the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. My poor kitty is terminally ill and I can't do anything about it. Rhonda wrote: How is your cat doing today?

Hepatic encephalopathy can be caused by a portosystemic shunt. Has the color of Kramer's eyes changed to copper or gold? This is the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. My poor kitty is terminally ill and I can't do anything about it. I don't think so- I think the vet is inept and is missing something. Do you live near a veterinary college? If so, please get your cat into their emergency clinic. Best of luck, Phil |

Very sad, I'm sorry he's worse.
Has your vet done tests to look at the brain? I didn't know aneurysms could cause seizures, I know they cause strokes. What do you think of this vet, do you trust him/her completely? Hope Kramer surprises everyone and a miracle happens for him. If not, I know you have tried very hard to help him.

Hello everyone and thank you all so much for your support listening to me
about Kramer. Unfortunately, I had to let go of my kitty today. He had a grand mal seizure last night or late yesterday and basically took the rest of his life. They are pretty sure of a brain tumor, swelling of the brain, anurism. Friday he at least could smell me and I knew he knew I was there. Today when I went in he didn't even try to smell or get up or anything, it's like he had nothing left. It's been a very tough 2-weeks and my kitty just has something really wrong with him and he's gone to kitty heaven now. It was the worst decision I've ever had to make, but he ended up blind, deaf and just nothing there, he just looked so blank. I loved my kitty with all my heart, but didn't see a need to keep him going especially with having seizures, they just were hurting him worse. We would've done the neurologist if we thought it was worth it, but honestly I think he really had a brain tumor, and it would just of prolonged his pain. Since it happened in May too, just not seizuring then this is why I feel strongly that something was really wrong with him. His lil body just couldn't handle it all anymore. Please say a prayer for him, I know I will miss him with all my heart and it kills me inside to of had to let him go. Thank you everyone meeee wrote: Oh dear.
