Kitty cat sick.

[Pisces24]

Prayers for your kitty. Good thing she is at least eating.  Hope they find out what the problem is.  Sooo glad you love her in sickness and in health.

I've got five furry souls in cat suites myself.

I dropped the cat off at the vet for more exams this morning and picked her up this evening.  (On a side note: her name is Raindrop).

Their thought now is that she most likely had a stroke.  (could also be cause by cancer, but they think it was a stroke).  They are basing this on how she is recovering (among other things). 

Said that an MRI would tell them for sure, but that would required them to put her under.  And 3 years ago, when she had a procedure, she had issues with the anesthesia (in fact i almost lost her after the operation).  So putting her under anesthesia is out as far as I am concerned.

So I am to watch her, give her the anti-nausea/anti-motion sickness pill (for 4 more days)  and stop with the appetite stimulate pill.   I can start her back on the thyroid medicine (which they had stopped, since they thought it could be causing issues).    If she gets starts getting sick again or not eating, I'm to call them.

I need to take her back in 3-4 weeks for another check up.

She was walking better this evening, but is still flipping over when she tries to jump down from anything. (sort of a jump down and tumble flipping over.)   So much for cats always landing on their feet.

So I am going to keep her isolated in my bedroom for now, since there are less things for her to get up on and fall off of.  It also allows me to keep track of how much she is eating (vs the other 2 cats).

Raindrop is a really great name for your Kitty...She sounds a lot like Tillie in her symptoms.   I hope she keeps recovering.

Prayers for your kitty. There is recovery at times from strokes, it just takes awhile.

When I had a little kitten that was bound and determined to get on the bed, I had a couple boxes  by the bed so he could get on in 2 little jumps. Maybe that would work for Raindrop. They also have those "stairs" that are handy too.   Thank you for loving her no matter what. Good luck!
