Ah, Michele...
Keep your chin up, and try to send positive thoughts her way. There's
lots of positive thoughts coming your way from me and my gang here in
Jersey.

Subject: Vet Visit
I had to take Buddy to the vet on Monday. She has Gingivitis
and needs dental op - she is booed in next Monday. I was ok going to the vet
and didn't expect what I was to feel when I went in the door. The second I
walked through the door I just had some subconscious reaction and started to
tremble and could not stop crying (felt a fool trying to talk to the vet as a
blumbering wreck). The whole day of losing Bramble came flooding back and
thats why I was crying - not because of Buddy - it was
strange.
Sanctuary have Buddy as FIV+ though I'm trying to determine
how old she was when they tested her. I am going to ask for an FeLV test as I
am a little suspicious. I hope I am wrong but as you know she has lived with
Minstrel (FeLV+) all her time in sanctuary and now continues living with her
with me too - they are inseperable. Both are 2 and a half years old so her
symptoms are starting very early if it is just FIV. Her teeth are in very bad
condition too for a cat her age - we know her age is certain though as she was
born in the sanctuary.
I pray that I'm also wrong on this one but
having seen seizures in my cats I think she has started having complex partial
seizures too. This has only happened since Bramble's passing and I know trauma
can trigger them but so can FeLV and FIV. She has started showing strange
behaviour in that she darts as if she is spooked and appears to be watching
and chasing something but there is nothing - but yesterday when she did it -
as she dived on the cat tree scratching I saw the rippling of the spine very
breifly. This mad behaviour has happened a few times over last 2 weeks and at
first I thought she was just having her mad moments which she does but there
is something a bit odd about these mad moments and she looked a little
confused afterwards so will have to study more carefully to check her pupils
etc... She isn't knocking into anything though when she is darting about which
is a promising sign.
