  Hi All,
Fred my CRF furkid is having some problems, I took him in to the vet 
last night because he gave out a meow that sounded like nothing he has 
ever done before and when he tried to stand and walk he did about a half 
turn and then plopped back to the rug and his front feet were 
twitching. 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.

Oh Belinda, prayers that Fred starts feeling better soon.  I was 
thinking of him yesterday after you briefly mentioned him, so pleased 
that he was hanging in there.  Please keep us updated as best you can.  
There's a knot in my solar plexus imagining that twitching.

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.

Hi Belinda,

I'm so sorry to hear about Fred's troubles.  I have a
CRF furbaby too, and she'll be 18 in a few months. 
She has head twitching.  The only thing she's being
treated for really is hyperT with Tapazole, and she
gets 200 cc of fluids every week for the CRF.  My vet
never mentioned anything about her BP.  Is that part
of the progression of CRF?

Please let us know what the vet said this morning.  I
hope Fred gets better soon!

:)

Re: Fred - Crisis, prayers needed please

2007-03-22 Thread Belinda

  Hi Wendy,
  Yes high BP is a natural progression, if her head twitches she may 
already have high BP.  Fred been on the norvasc for a few months and he 
started the twitching about 2 months ago, not all the time but once in a 
while I noticed it.  Yesterday though he went into crisis and all I can 
pray is there won't be any lasting effects once we get his BP under 
control again.  Still haven't got the blood work back yet.
