Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
It sounds like the medication is helping Tipper at night and you are both getting some good sleep.
I hope that you are able to find Grace a good home. She will make someone a wonderful pet and I hope they love her and give her the best of everything.
Well, if Delora is going to be stubborn and not want to help herself, then there isn't much anyone can do, she probably wouldn't work with any social workers to help herself either. That is too bad, but in a way I understand it. After her husband died, I'm sure that she felt her son is all she has in way of family. A lot of elderly are not going to go against that even in their own best interest. I don't agree, it just makes me feel sad, but I do understand. :( :(
Hang in there and just try to relax and enjoy your own life for a bit.

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Patti,
I'm so glad that Tipper is free of seizures!!!!
Hoping that someone kind will come through for Grace soon.
I have a rule, I help those who are making an effort to help themselves. I would still alert social services and tell them everything, including this medicine that her son got for her and what you've read about it. After this, focus on your own life and let Delora be. Her son can arrange everything from now on. I would still find a home for her cat though if the need arises.
I know that I sound harsh but I've been in your place. Nothing good came out of it, just more stress for me.

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Well no seizure activity last nite, but and that is a big but, I fell asleep early. I don't know if I am so tired I am missing this now or if the meds are working so I will keep my tired self up tonite to check out the situation as I need to know to report this to the Dr. if it is working or not. I pray it is and that I never have to see her do this again. It is heartbreaking to watch this. Tipper is wanting outside and acting up and being naughty. It is so frigid that is not even possible. I have a hard enough time carrying her to go potty. She wants to romp around and I understand that. I have to take Grace this morning and she is miffed at no food. If you would see the size of her you would understand. She put her paw under the door and started shaking the door like crazy the dogs went nuts. She wants her food and she is letting me know. I hope someone will give her a good home vet said you are paying for all her vet care and giving her away? I said yes, I can't afford it but she needs it. I thought he may said he would do it for free, but no chance. I said it is my little part in helping an animal have a better life on this earth. If everyone did a little it would make a big impact. Nothing was said after that. I am getting ready to take her. I will not allow my boys access to this room once she is gone for a month to make sure all germs are gone after I clean it up. I am just so sorry she is leaving I have grown very fond of her she is easy to love. The weather is horrible and we will have to go slow as I am sure the roads are icy. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
My vet just called me he is working on Grace. He said she is the most beautiful cat he has ever seen and so sweet he may have a home for her. I pray he does maybe he will give me a discount too. He is cleaning her teeth now, so pray for dear Grace that she has no more problems. I am still fretting over her, she is the nicest cat I have ever run into, what a pity people do not vaccinate and take care of these majestic animals these people make me sick literally. I just feel terrible that this happened to her. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
That would be wonderful for Grace if the vet had a home for her!
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Grace is still at the vets. She had a molar with infection, and infection in her jaw too. Also he cleaned her eyes out, and her eyelids were full of lipids. He expressed them out. He said that is a first for any cat he has seen. She will need eye meds and antibiotics. The cause of the lipids is being too fat and a fatty diet.
Poor Grace she has had such a bad life. Thank God I can help her in some small way. It makes me sick the number of people who don't take care of their pets, and here we are doing everything we can to keep ours alive. It just makes no sense to me. Blessings

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Patti
Thank goodness Grace found you to help her does this mean you will still re-home her when she is better? It is wonderful you were there to help her.
WELL DONE YOU !!!

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
That would be wonderful if the vet has a good home for Grace. Your worries would be over on that front. Although I know you will miss her terribly.
Glad Tipper didn't have any more seizures last night. I'm inclined to think that either she is not having Any or they are very mild because previously you have been woken from sleep when she is having seizures. So, if you aren't being woke up now, then something is different. (just my thoughts)

Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Sorry Patti I missed the post you posted above the one I replied to I see it says the vet may of found her a home I do hope so. X
Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
is grace awake and at home with you again? i hope the vet has found her a good home. she sounds as a very lovely cat. hope he will give you a large discount since she is a rescue and the dental work was more complicated than you thought.
he knows how much tippers illness costs you.........
i hope the roads were cleaned from ice and snow.
do you have to make that trip again tomorrow with tipper for her laser treatment?
hope at least you all sleep well.
