Captain V, Paws, catnip or dreamies?

New thread

Oh Just. So many ups and downs you’re having with her.
Keep her warm and try to get her eating and drinking even if it’s only a a little is all I can say.
I can’t imagine how hard a decision it must be.

Just I'm still reading this thread, and thinking of Darcy and you.

Thinking of you just and Darcy.

Yes Walter's tummy really is strokable. He loves it. He's incredibly docile really.

Don't laugh at me...have you thought of the supervet? I'm a bit in love with him

Me too. He has that diagnosis centre for cancer too.

Yeah, he does the orthopaedic stuff himself but they seem to do incredible diagnostics too. I'm glad it's not just me.

I have thought of it but I'm not sure she could cope with the journey and the added stress. In my frantic googling tonight I stumbled across Cushings disease in cats. She literally ticks every box. Prognosis isn't good even if it is that though. I think if she's no better tomorrow then I know what I have to do

Oh just I'm so sorry. I know what you mean about the journey. When they offered me the option for Bertie to go to London to go on dialysis I didn't even consider it. It was way too much. We're a long way from London. Is her breathing bad again? Was the potassium just a short term fix?

I’m sorry, Just. That’s a horrible decision to have to make.

Toe beans for anybody who needs them ❤️

Toe beans here too

Paws! Is he staying over again?

He's been here about 4hrs, is absolutely spark out now

Gorgeous boy

Daughter sent me this. Seems about right...

She's going to be the absolute death of me. Perky this morning and eaten a whole plate of food overnight plus biscuits

I’m so glad, Just
What an emotional rollercoaster you’re on.

Lovely beans Coaster. I do think black beans on a white paw make a lovely contrast!
Did Paws stay, Queen?
Socks found one of her Christmas presents - a catnip banana - opened the wrapping paper and took it out of the packaging. She’s played with it half the night. Matt didn’t play but did stay in my bedroom rather than retreating to dd’s room - maybe he liked being near the catnip.

Naughty Socks. And as for Darcy! What on earth is she up to? You must have no idea what to think.

Darcy has been reading the Ollie rule book of being unwell I think

Or Snorgmaidens 😹

Asbo used to be randomly unwell then bounce back once I’d had him on the bed overnight and fallen out with dh over it. But Darcy does seem to have an underlying problem they aren’t diagnosing. Do you know who owns her other siblings? If it’s congenital and it’s in a small breeds gene pool it’s a bigger problem isn’t it if their breeding off them.

This really tickled me.

We went out this evening for a few hours and I spent the whole time worrying about her and feeling bad for leaving her. Came back to discover she'd eaten ALL her food, was up and wandering around and quite happy!
Relief but it's very cautious because we've been here before and then she's gone downhill again.
There is definitely something wrong with her mouth/teeth. If I could upload video you'd see, the noise when she tries to eat is like fingernails down a blackboard. Poor baby. So on Monday I'm going to make a right twit of myself and refuse to leave the vets until someone listens to me properly!

Fluffycloudland77 I do. It's difficult to say too much as there's the potential to get into trouble... but she's a fairly new breed and it's come to light that Darcys particular line of breeding history shows far far too much inbreeding . The horrible person responsible seems to be getting away with it. Unfortunately for her she lives 20 minutes away from me and if I do lose Darcy, I will be making my feelings known

Again, I'm completely ignorant really, but I immediately wondered about her teeth. I mean, Ollie has one tooth...how much do they really need them? That sounds so ridiculous, even to me. I do apologise.
