What a worry, best of luck getting what Squirt needs

Hope ya get the script today hun

JackSpratt · « **Reply #105 on:** September 20, 2010, 09:44:23 AM »

Oh Angie, you must be frantic.

I'd call your vet and say something; maybe he can redo the prescription PROPERLY and you'll be able to get it more rapidly.

Sending Squirt a hug.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #104 on:** September 19, 2010, 19:30:33 PM »

This is appalling, surely your vet should have collected prescription from chemist for you, mine does.
Sending Squirt our very best wishes.

Angiew · « **Reply #103 on:** September 19, 2010, 18:33:26 PM »

got the new script today, went to boots as they had it in and the pharmasist refused to give them to me. The drug is not licensed for vet use and apparently the vet has to mention "cascade" on the script.
I actually added the word, took it back and he still refused to let me have it.
I have then spent another 2 hours phoning around. LLoyds at solihull had it and I rushed off at 4 but couldn't find them , and by the time I had given up asking it was well gone 4-30 when they closed.
I have got back about 5 mins ago from trying other chemists at random in birmingham and none of them stocked it.

So I am tired , frustrated and angry.

Hopefully tomorrow we can try and get something sorted in Dudley - perhaps they will issue a script with the correct wording that we can then get.

I have just given Squirt a hug and apologized to him on behalf on the world.

Hope you can get the tablet tomorrow Angie, have everything crossed for him

Angiew · « **Reply #99 on:** September 18, 2010, 18:46:00 PM »

have a prescription for 125mg Famciclovir tablets for his eyes (treats human herpes) but can i find a chemist who stocks them. tried most of coventry, some in leicester, birmingham and warwick.

damn, i feel like a failure! some stock the 250mg but can't give me that unless script is changed (its for a quarter of the 125 tablet anyway).

unless any one has any bright ideas it'll have to wait now for vet tomorrow to hopefully change it and pray that the delay doesn't have any effect.

Tan · « **Reply #98 on:** September 18, 2010, 14:39:33 PM »

Get well Squirt vibes still coming over strong hun.

Lots more good wishes to Squirt

Angiew · « **Reply #95 on:** September 17, 2010, 22:38:51 PM »

Keep those vibes coming!

Squirt is still very lethargic but eating on his own.
His eyes are a worry. They put some stuff in to look at his ulcer again and he reacted to it - he was pawing his eye as I left and apparently it swelled up badly this morning so they say he has an allergy to the anaesthetic.

They are offering to take him in again tomorrow and I will so I can get on and do the jobs I didn't get round to today (not to mention a trip to the police station with my motoring documents

and dropping the trap round to a fosterer who has lost one of her feral charges behind the kitchen cupboard

)

I am taking Squirt to Dudley on monday with his mum and brother for the C4 program on neutering.
mum is getting neutered and as its out most of the day, I didn't want to leave Squirt from 7am until the evening - besides which I think his story is also important for a show designed to promote neutering.
I checked with the vet that they had room for them all in the surgery for the day and she tells me the practice has a CH cat and she also has one at home so I am happy he will be well looked after. I have all the notes from the vet Re the medical sage of the last 5 weeks - if I remember them

Hopefully he's picking up that little bit all the time, fingers crossed

Lovely that he'll have some pressies awaiting him when he gets home too

Angiew · « **Reply #84 on:** September 16, 2010, 13:26:04 PM »

squirt is at vets. no temp today though he's not right poor thing. hes looking a bit pale. we are going to worm him today - something i was planning to do earlier this week as he was looking so much better. glad i didn't else that would have got the blame for his relapse.
so vets will worm, give him some fluids and look after him while i go out to get shopping (cat stuff!) and i'll pick him up this evening.

also a big thank you to T, his toys arrived today, though I haven't told him yet.

Tan · « **Reply #83 on:** September 16, 2010, 12:38:21 PM »

That's brill to hear hun.

Sending all my love over for him and get better vibes every second

Angiew · « **Reply #82 on:** September 16, 2010, 10:28:54 AM »

He's still with us and ok for me to leave for the next hour while I go to judiths for this litter demostration I think. Will check again after I've finished my coffee. Will update when I get back from vets....

Come on little boy! Glad hear he has made it through the day at least

We are keeping everything crossed that he will be able to be our next addition to the family

StreetKatzRescue · « **Reply #76 on:** September 15, 2010, 21:52:52 PM »

Angie haven't been posting 'cos up to my eyes too with kittens with "issues". All I can say, to add to all the sensible advice so far, is just to hang on in there and not be pressurised into giving up too soon. I used to follow vets advice and pts cats/kittens I know now with a bit more time would have been just fine. So I now force myself to take a step back and have a hard think about what is best. My mum and 6, part of the 13 brought in on 13th, have been up and down and up and down and finally taken to the vet today with squits. One is borderline cerebellar hypoplasia anyway and she is the worst. Only 500gr and 7 wks old...

You will know when enough is enough, always trust your gut instinct. It's telling you what is the right thing but it's not always easy to hear!

Really rooting for you and Squirt. x

Tan · « **Reply #75 on:** September 15, 2010, 21:40:03 PM »

Angie Send more love over for Squirt and all there. I will keep sending get well vibes to him

He will have a delivery tomorrow just for him to play with when he's better from Auntie T.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #74 on:** September 15, 2010, 19:58:39 PM »

Angie the only thing that I keep thinking about is the wobble, it could be a meningitis type germ, could even be toxoplasmosis like Bonny has, so easy for vet to say its due to parvo and write everything else off. Think you will end up like me spending a fortune on blood tests until you hit the right thing.
Whatever you do for Squirt will be the right thing, you know him best in this world,all I can do is offer you hope and send vibes for his recovery and tell you that we are all feeling your pain.

Take care of yourself

Janeyk · « **Reply #73 on:** September 15, 2010, 19:03:53 PM »

Awww poor little soul

but glad he's able to come home. More love and get well wishes being sent his way

Poor little Squirt.

Sorry I don't have any advice Angie but just wanted to sends lots of hugs and positive vibes to you both...come on Squirt you can do it...you've gotta get strong so you can play with the new toy Aunty T won for you at Purringo last night

Angiew · « **Reply #71 on:** September 15, 2010, 18:47:52 PM »

squirt is back with us. been on fluids. he has synulox and eyecream for an ulcer. he had a temp of 40 as well so i suppose that could explain his reluctance to move much and stiffness.
he has to go back in tomorrow and I'm to give him some fluid tonight.

vet is worried that there is something viral systemically going on and that this may be the pattern of his life in that he will always be sickly and if that is the case then pts may be on the cards.
we briefly discussed interferon but she wasn't sure that it would make a difference.

any thoughts out there on what could be happening?

he is once again in a pen on his own.
