new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

it sounds good so far with tippers seizure activity . did you notice any difference since you give her a full pill?
and her leg improving too!
it is a pity that you still can not walk tipper. it would make her more quiet in the house i quess.
ian's hot spot is itchy, so it is healing, but it makes him a bit restless because of it.
last walk and off to bed!

Tipper had quite a few smaller seizures last nite. I am not convinced this medicine is doing anything, but challenging me mentally. Her leg is a lot better but I would not say 100%, probably never will be. She jumped yesterday and I caught her. She is so hard to stop she is just like a tiny bulldozer. She was throwing her toys all around yesterday and up in the air to show me her level of frustration. I did get the point! We have 40 mile and hour wind, snow coming down terrible and about 7 degrees. It is so miserable out it is like the Arctic here. I have a few days without appointments so I need to get some stuff done around here. No home for Grace yet. I called a cat rescue near me to see if they knew of anyone no luck there. I will keep trying. She needs to be with a middle ages woman who is devoted to her, she wants attention and is so sweet she deserves it. Hope Ian is still healing on the hot spot and having a good day, and you too. Blessings

ian's hotspot has to be treated, but he gets very, very stressed!
he cried out loud, having a panic attack.
i really wish i did not have to do this. i hope this was the last time. i do not want him to hate me for it. he is avoiding me already. not good!
hopefully tipper can regain a good use of her leg without surgery! so she can have her daily walks when the weather is getting better.
i can understand she is frustrated now. [so will you i quess]
hope you will find a good home for grace soon. she will need the extra space and attention.
i once had a cat with FIP virus which started as corona virus and she crashed on an intestinal bleeding at age 10. my other cat never showed any signs, but the vet said he must have been a carrier. he died of old age at 18 never showing any signs of fip.
what does the vet say about keeping her and introduce her to your own cats. what is the risk of grace spreading the virus?

Does I an get real bad if he ahs to go to the vets? I hate that they get so stressed as I feel that can harm them a lot too. I try to keep Tipper's visits to as few as possible, but she always has something going on. I am hoping they give you something to treat this and it goes away for good. With these dogs prone to CC I would not want it to turn into anything like that. Tipper continues to have small seizures at nite. I thought they would stop, wishful thinking. The vet said there is a 30% chance Grace could spread this to my cats and I cannot do that to them. My one cat will be 13 and I love him dearly. Very hard situation to deal with. I am the one who rescued her so I must now make sure she gets a good, safe, forever home. Blessings
Patti

not a day without worrying about our pets. old age and cushings.....double trouble.
your own cats do come first, and if there is any risk, i won't introduce grace either.
i did not take care of ian's hot spot today since it looked dry.
i do not want him to be afraid of me. he does not seem to have a fever so i leave him alone. he eats well and wants to go out for a walk [in the rain]. [they never want to p and p in the garden]

Have you tried a tea compress on the hot spot? Sometimes that makes them feel better and it shouldn't hurt them at all you do it.

It's hard when you want so much to help out, like with Grace, but have to be careful of your own cats too. :( Very sad. I do hope that Patti can find her a good home.

You're having rain and we're having snow tonight. Joy joy, I just went out and shoveled down to the street, so at least it won't be as bad in the morning, if we get more.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

That tea sounds like a good thing. Is I an licking at it? I am not letting Grace out of this room until I find a perfect person for her. If I had no cats this would be a no brainer as she is just like a dog. We are still having bitter cold and snow, so rain sounds nice right about now. Blessings
Patti

yes patti and sharlene, we do have the rain and wind and you do have all the snow and also wind of course.
at least i don't have to shovel ...............i can step into my car-no ice to remove from the windows- and off i go.
ian is very upset , even if i only want to look at his hotspot, so no tea compress,[too much stress] but i will keep it in mind . it sounds interesting and i had never heared of it. i like doing things the natural way so good tip.
hope you all have a good night sleep.

That's a shame that you cannot get near Ian. I feel so bad as I know you want to take a look at that spot. Has he always been real touchy about things like that or just since he got Cushings? I am glad you do not have our weather I think it is 15 below 0 this morning here. Tipper goes for her testing tomorrow so I hope the weather is better. Blessings
Patti

hi patti, he is and was always touchy indeed. not a tough guy! his mom was more like tipper sounds. his sister is something in between those characters.
-15 sounds really cold.........is this normal for your area?
hope the outcome of tippers tests will be ok. is your cat ill or also tests for him?
sleep well and we will wait for your report on your vet visit.
