Kitten neurological problem

[Shady]

I'm glad he seems to be over whatever it was.

On this occasion the vet's action was correct BUT, like Shady, I have had experience of things going rapidly the other way. I would have expected the vet to say bring him back tomorrow, if he is no better, if she really thought that a-b's were not indicated at that stage. Kittens are so tiny that they have no reserves to fall back on.

Totally agree with this Pearl and i'm really pleased the kitten is looking better. It can indeed go the other way quicker than you would believe possible. I lost yet another of my beloved cats last Tuesday due to a massive vet error.
I do think the vet made a big leap to neurological problems given the symptoms.....

In hindsight I think probably being hard on the vet. She said book in for Friday if the same or if any worse tomorrow (today).

As I keep saying his temperature was considered normal, just on the higher end of it.

I don’t know enough about kittens to know whether vet was correct or not to not immediately prescribe drugs but now that I am less upset and worried I can see that her process made sense.

Fair enough Michen and i'm sure she's a good vet . I think iv'e had too many cats for too many years ! I'm just really glad your lovely boy is better today and I hope he stays that way . x

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Shady. I, too, have learned the hard way over the years.

Thank you Mule and Pearl xx. I didn't post as we were both so gutted . He was my last Siamese and only 3 years old. Rob is so upset as he was his and he totally adored him, they were never apart when Rob was home , he'd go everywhere on his shoulder ,even doing poo picking

It so hard to lose them, especially when they're young.

That's really sad, so sorry to hear this. He sounds like he was a little dude.

Really happy with the little fella today, I’d say he’s 99.9% as mental and annoying as he was before 😂

I think we all need to see a photo to reassure us 😁

Typical cat😂

 

[BeckyFlowers]

Haha what a dude. The dog was taking his punishment like a champ. Bob will rule with tyranny by the look of it 😂😂😂

Great news Michen.

So sorry Shady. Three? What an almighty bummer 😰😰😰

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Michen - I'm so glad that your lovely kitten is OK and back to ruling the dogs with claws of steel!

Shady - so, so sorry about your Siamese. They really are wonderful 'big' characters that leave a gaping hole when they are gone. Give my condolences to Rob, that is such a young age too.

Bob is a right little w**ker! So pleased he's back to his bad ways, hope your curtains survive this phase. As they get bigger and heavier, they tend to stop climbing curtains thankfully.

I'm so sorry to hear that Shady. Big hugs to you and Mr Shady. RIP shoulder cat.

Pleased the kitten is feeling better Michen. Video was great.

Sorry shady, really sad news

Michen, just caught up with this thread. So happy Bobs better. Arlo went much like you describe after one of his jabs. I can’t remember if both or just the one but it worried me at the time.
If your dogs need someone to talk to about their ordeal my poor boys are a year into being cat brothers now 😳😉 they, like yours are pretty saintly!

If he’s no better tomorrow I would take him back and ask for antibiotics in the first instance, anti inflammatories and pain relief.

It’s too much of a coincidence not to be vaccine related, imo.

So if it’s ‘vaccine related’ how are antibiotics going to make any difference? As the vaccines are killed versions of viruses, and therefor not bacterial?

 

[BeckyFlowers]

Does he seem all ok now Michen?

Yes! Totally fine and growing like mad!

Long live King Bob

Long live King Bob

I know the recommendation is not to let them out so young, but supervised garden time is working well for us so another pic of the bright eyed little thing.

Also.. are his ears ridiculously large 😂 hope he grows into them!!

He's gorgeous Michen, glad he's perked up again.

So sorry to hear about your cat Shady. Sounds like he was really special to Rob. Hugs xx

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I think the question is - are you supervising him or is he supervising you? He definitely looks very regal and in charge there.

Not at all Shady! I too am very sad to read of your losses xxx

 

[Michen]

All I’m really doing is supervising how much he torments everyone else 🙈

Thank god he will never meet Boggle, can’t even imagine how Bog would feel at having his nose swiped at

Very glad to hear King Bob is back to his normal self, in command and bossing everyone around. He is indeed very beautiful and by the looks of things he has ownership of the garden chair down to a fine art.
