Re: Head shake symptom - Spencer - 2 different abx at same time

The damn "what ifs" will make you crazy if you let them, we all suffer from them.  All we can do is learn the best and most we can from all our experiences, good and bad.  Two things you can be sure of, Patches was better off having found your loving care and he is no longer suffering.  Even armed with prior experience and knowledge, we usually can't know for sure what the best course to take is.  All we can do is act from love and concern, you did that and I'm sure that Patches is grateful. Blessings to you guys, Nina Rosenfeldt, Diane wrote: We are okay.  Life goes on, although we still spend a little time second-guessing what happened to Patches.  I saw a post on, I think, another list about a disease that's caused by ticks, and the symptoms are the cat gets lethargic and very hot, which describe a couple of his symptoms, and so now we're wondering about that, since he did have a tick when we got him (although the post mentioned Oklahoma and we're in Wisconsin).  It still bothers us that when he came to us he seemed pretty lively despite the critters and the mats, and then went downhill so fast. :-(   Thanks for asking!  I hope Spencer gets his issues sorted out okay!   Diane R.
