Sending prayers and healing vibes for Fred, Belinda. I'm hugely impressed by your vet opening at 6.30am. It makes a difference when you're trying to help a sick furbabe through the night. I hope Fred has been diagnosed and helped by now. Please let us know when you get time. hugs, Kerry

He's been twitching off and on for a while. He's been on Norvasc for high blood pressure for a while but apparently his dose is no longer high enough, his BP was 230 at the vets yesterday. I called the vet in while he was twitching and she is very concerned about his BP, she told me to give him double his dose when I got home, he had already had his usual dose that morning. Then she said to give his regular dose in this AM and another dose in the afternoon today. He will get double what he's been getting from now on. I didn't feed or mess with him the rest of the night yesterday, and he twitched off and on all night. He was very unsteady on his feet and slept for the most part. This morning he is not himself still. He is not as unsteady and not twitching that I've noticed yet but seems very slow and just looks like he doesn't feel good. I gave him his metachloprimide and am going to feed him shortly, I'm going to wait and give him his BP med close to the time the vet opens so if I have to run him down they will be open, they open at 6:30AM, it's 6AM now. Please pray that whatever is going on, hopefully it is just his BP and the increased BP meds will control it, if not, that whatever it is we'll figure it out and can help him feel better. He looks the worse he ever has since this all started. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... Be-Mi-Kitties http://bemikitties.com IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
