My lovely DCat, 19, has been on Benefortin for heart murmur (for last 7 years) and progressive renal failure (diagnosed a year ago). She has stopped eating her food (with ground up meds in), but will eat prawns and Dreamies, and is drinking.
Last evening I found her with pupils fully dilated, seemingly blind. She got off sofa and lay on the floor, panting weakly with mouth open and tongue out. Yoweled 3 times. I thought she was dying there and then. I rang ooh vet service, but decided an hour's drive to them wd not be kind, and during conversation cat rallied a bit. She ate some prawns and dreamies from my hand.
This morning, she was (relatively) better, eyes back to normal, able to sit and walk. We went straight off to the vet's, where she got a steroid injection, and vet wondered if she had something going on with her brain. She's booked to return Weds, and I have Practice Owner's number, in case it all becomes unbearable for her in the mean time.
Just after some advice as to how to make (what must surely be?) her last few days as comfortable as possible.
