ouch, that sounds very painful! do you know what triggered him to bite you? is he a jealous parrot?
maybe your neighbour can take grace till you have found her a new home? sort of co-owner, maybe he will fall in love with her.................problem solved....
if your own cats were never exposed, it will be a risk introducing grace to their room and lives.
it has rained the whole day overhere, so dirty doggies.
a short walk in the rain and bedtime. they do not p and p in the garden.
Hi Everyone:
Tipper had a really restless nite last nite like something was hurting or wrong, can't explain it. She moved all over the bed every few minutes so I think the cortisol is on the rise. We will know after her test on Wednesday. She did not have a lot of seizure activity, probably because she was never really in her Rem sleep as she kept moving about. I am almost ready to completely switch her to Fromm food by next week. We have taken this slow so she has no ill effects going on. I am hoping she will stay good on the total switch. We got more snow last nite and unbelievable winds. Tonite we are to go below 0 and more snow. Hope it is better for our trip to the vet Wednesday and Thursday is therapy. I have been brushing Grace and talking to her a lot and she does respond to my voice. This is a smart cat, and you can brush her anywhere or do anything on her and she never gets nasty or rattled. What a pity she was not cared for and would not be in this situation today. I am going to call a lady where I live she lives alone and ask her, she had a puppy she got rid of because she could not house break it, and Grace is like a dog that goes in litter so maybe it will work??? Delora is supposed to go for radiation if she continues to bleed, but she has not told her son yet. I told her she needs to do what the Dr. tells her or she will be gone even sooner. I just do not understand her reasoning unless she is resigned to dying and getting it over with? I have some black and purple marks where Elvis got me, and when I went to take him out today he was his old self and came right out with no problems. I told my girlfriend yesterday if he does it again he will be living elsewhere and she laughed and said that will be the day! I would never send him somewhere. I am hoping Wednesday comes soon as I think Tipper needs her dosage upped. I still have the 30mg Vetoryl and may need to go to it again and test more often unfortunately to check her pre does not go low again. I am thinking because the compounded version Trilostane is not always accurate maybe she is just not getting a dosage close enough to 30 to manage the cortisol.
Blessings

Hi Patti,
Maybe if you have to go to the 30mg again, then since the main concern is the pre, you could do just baseline cortisol, frequently and then full ACTH if the pre shows any problems, outside of the normal schedule of testing? That would allow you to know what is going on, without the full cost of the ACTH unless needed.

Good idea Sharlene. I just hate to put Tipper thru that all that time. It is so hard on them.
hi patti, i hope you will find a dosage for tipper which will suit her well, so you and tipper can sleep better.
i hope that lady wants to take care of grace, that would be nice. plus you can visit her i hope.
i am only on the forum for 5 min. because it is 5 am overhere................[have been busy with the tax-forms.]
too much to worry about to go to sleep.
Hi Everyone:
I thought I had a home for Grace, but it will not work out. I will continue trying. It is to be 7below tomorrow morning and Tipper and Chance have to go to the vets. I am hoping to get Tipper's Vetoryl regulated by early next week at the latest. I probably will go back to the 30mg Vetoryl. She needs to be controlled as I worry about more damage being done in her uncontrolled state. She is hungry an hour and a half early again today so I know what is doing this. I guess it is nice to sometimes live in a bubble though. Tipper's both back feet froze immediately upon going out to go potty. I had to carry her and she is no light weight anymore. I am guessing she will be up tonite and all around the bed again. I am waiting for the thyroid test until she starts on the new food not mixed with the old and give her a week on it to see if it starts to make a difference for her. Stay safe and warm everyone. Blessings

Patti,
Just wanted to let you know I'm praying for you and Tipper. And hoping for Grace to get that new home soon.
Try to stay warm.
Donna
Prayers coming your way as always Patti.
Good luck at the vets today!
Fooey, sorry that things didn't work out for Grace. What about putting a notice up in the area you live in? or at the vets office or even with some rescue organizations who might have applications from someone suitable.
I'm just throwing some ideas out.
Hope all goes well for Tipper and Chance's tests.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
our vet has a messageboard for those cases in the waiting room and hall. flyer with picture of grace must get lots of attention i quess.
supermarkets do also have messageboards and pet stores [at least in my country] we also do have lots of re-homing sites for pets.
hope this will work out for grace.
good luck with your vet visit tomorrow, and a safe drive through the blizzard................bbbrrrrrrr!!
