That bright ray of sunshine will be shining on you and loving you.
Tweezer knows all that you have done for him and trusts you to make
the right decisions. He will always be in your life and heart...just
in a different form. This does not take away the pain, the awful pain
but it may change that pain.
Try to focus on the time you have together and enjoy each other. Some
of the most memorable minutes I had with Ebony were in the hours
before he left this world. Try to focus.......through the heartache.

I was giving her sub-q fluids for a while, which I assume helped her
because
she never had any seizures again. FIV is so much more manageable
than FeLV!
BTW - I sent the info to the dumb vet at the clinic so she would
know for
the next time someone brings in a cat that was FIV+, not to
immediately make
the diagnosis of the cat having grand mal seizures, DUH!

I think emergency clinics have more then their share of idiots....
Maybe assist feeding would work for him. I will have to get a
syringe. Did
you do anything else besides feeding her to help her get rid of
toxins?

Years ago, one of my FIV cats had seizures; we rushed her to an

livid, as if I were a total ignoramus.....I later did some research
and
found out that cats with FeLV and FIV can build up toxins which can
cause
seizures.
Maybe it would be a good idea to feed the cat with a
syringe....should be
no
problem! Wrap in a towel, hold the head from underneath the jaw,
and
gently insert the syringe on the side of the mouth, slowly
releasing the
food (small amounts, allowing the cat to swallow). Would it help if
you
placed food in front, and then helped steady the cat's head?

The problem is more with the spasms he is having then not eating.
He is
interested in food but is having a hard time eating it because of the
shaking and jerking. They don't know what is causing it. They were
thinking
maybe value would help but are afraid it might not be good because
of his
being weak and immune compromised.

Try ANYTHING - it's better than nothing. Sometimes, when they
have an
infection, they can't smell the food (and that's very important to
cats),
try taking some of the food, maybe diluted, and use a syringe or an
eyedropper to put some of it into their mouth on the side, just to
get
the
taste, they usually start eating!

I'm so sorry that Tweezer isn't doing well. I don't really know
what to
do
to encourage him to eat - maybe try his favorite food, I sometimes
use
tuna or mackerel (supplemented with Nutri-Cal so the cat gets all
their
viatamins). For cats, the smellier the food, the better.
I hope that helps!

Tweezer was to the vet yesterday. His RBC is 17 and he has a
secondary
infection. He is also having spasms which is the worst because
he is
frightened and it makes it harder for him to eat and drink. He
is on
Prednesolone and Clavamox for now. What can I do to help him?
I hope this message gets through to the list because my last one
didn't.
