I'm not sure whats wrong with her but she's not been eating on and off, she hasn't got a temp but did have the snuffles. She's had 2 lots of Baytril and the weight has just dropped off her. I'm going to take her back in tomorrow and see if I can get some tests done on her, I want to get a swab done and some bloods because there's obviously something going on. The only concern I have is she's going to have to be sedated first because she is a little witch when she has to have anything done to her. She did start to eat again last week and was wolfing pouches down but she's back to square one again now where she's meowing for food but just won't eat it when she's given it. The vet tried to check her mouth as best as she could last week because a few times she's been chattering her teeth and this is a sign of discomfort but there wasn't anything obvious. If I have her knocked out they will be able to get a proper look. Fingers crossed they get to the bottom of it before she loses any more weight.

Good luck for tomorrow
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Poor Chleo hope all goes well at the vet for her :hug:
-
Poor Cleo :Luv: i hope its nothing serious and that the vet can sort her out quickly :hug:
-
every best wish for Cleo poor thing :(

Cleo is in this morning with her Uncle Sean, hopefully he can get to the bottom of what's going on with her. She's going to have her bloods etc taken this morning and hopefully we can manage to get her through whatever it is. She was crying in the vets but a pitiful cry which set me off, I hated leaving her and I just hope I don't get a phone call saying it's bad news :( I think she's going to need fluids but she will probably need sedating even for that, she's not exactly handleable when you are trying to do anything with her so won't be the best patient. She's never been a 100% healthy cat but she's always been a little fighter, just hope she's got the strength to get through whatever it is causing her to be ill :'(
-
Sending lots of good wishes to you and Cleo - hope nothing serious is found. :Luv2:
-
Poor Cleo, I do hope that its nothing serious and she can be sorted. Such a worrying time especially with semi-ferals :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Cleo has been kept in on a drip :'( She had a bad reaction to the sedative so it had to be reversed quickly, luckily they got some blood and a swab but there's nothing obvious with the bloods that she's had done today, have to wait and see how she is tomorrow now and wait for the swab results.
-
Awwww, hope she's OK, I'm sure Sean is looking after her brilliantly :hug:
-
I just feel sick to the stomach, Cleo is hubby's cat but I do love her to bits and I really hated leaving her today :'(
-
Poor baby - I hopr Sean gets to the bottom of it and it isn't serious :hug:
-
It's funny because you always think it will get easier taking them in but it never does, and it's made it worse because I thought I'd get to bring her home tonight :(
-
Hope Cleo is recovered soon, Dawn.
-
Poor Cleo, hope is not serious and she comes home tomorrow. :hug:
-
Sending positive vibes her way :hug:
-
Loads of positive thoughts from me too xx
-
Cleo is still on the drip and still not eating so she has to stay in. I'm going up shortly to see her, they said she's comfortable so we shall wait and see.
-
Sending lots of positive vibes that Sean can sort out what the problem is and you can soon bring Cleo home :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: still wishing that poorly kitty well xx
-
Lots of love, hugs and positive vibes for you and Cleo :hug: :hug:
-
Cleo looks alot better this evening and was extremely verbal when I went in bless her. Her eyes look better so the drip is obviously making her feel better. She's still not eating but Sean said he wants to keep her on the drip for the next day or so and see how she is. Thanks for the good vibes, :hug: :hug:
-
Glad she is feeling better, keep it up little Cleo x
-
Hope that Cleo makes a full recovery
Positive vibes coming my way too :hug: :hug:

Sean said with the sedation he couldn't do everything he wanted to do or check her mouth properly because her breathing was terrible, he said if he hadn't have reversed it she would probably have died. I did have mega problems when I had her spayed a couple of years back, she constantly fitted as soon as they sedated her so this has been a worry and god knows what would happen if she ever had to have an op :tired: I had to laugh when I went in, they had put "care, nasty cat" on her cage, she has obviously been a bit of a witch and did scratch Sean yesterday :evillaugh:
-
Cleo is back from the vets but hasn't eaten for days. I thought maybe it was the stress of being in the surgery but she's not a happy girl :'( When I went to pick her up earlier they had just taken the drip out and she was cowering in the back of her carrier absolutely petrified, I honestly thought she was dying. I gave her a stroke and started talking to her so she knew it was me and she started this horrible yowling. I thought she was just upset so brought her home. I tried her on something to eat to no avail, she then started twitching whilst on my knee and started clamping her jaws on my top and then she starting fitting :'( Since then she's had 2 more fits and she makes this horrible yowling noise. I spoke to Sean earlier and he thinks she's gone into shock, my head is all over and I've just texted him again to see if he's got any ideas. If she gets no better by tomorrow I think I will have to have her pts, she will not tolerate another vet visit :'( :'(
-

Sorry to hear this, hope there is an improvemnet tomorrow :hug:
-
I'm so sorry.
Hope she's doing better tomorrow.

Cleo seems calmer now but is just lying there staring, I'm not hopeful for a good outcome but Heidi (vet nurse) emailed me and said she will be out of sorts for a while after 3 fits so to keep an eye on her, if she starts twitching, or she looks as if she's heading for another fit to phone the surgery. If she goes in I won't be bringing her home again as leaving her in has knocked her for six, she seemed quite bright yesterday and Heidi said she's been curled up in a ball today but did let her syringe her, whatevers happened I think is down to when the drip was removed. Sean wasn't there when they did it as he was doing surgery but he's assured me there has been no episodes of fitting whilst she's been in there so something has scared the :censored: out of her for her to go into shock :'( :'(
-
I am so sorry Dawn, lots of love to Cleo :hug: :hug:

Cleo died peacefully in my arms at 4 am. Her breathing started to slow down by about 3.30am and I could feel her heart beating fast and then slowing down. I was torn whether to phone the vets up or not but knew in my heart she would be gone by the time I got there. Rather than stress her out, I kept her where she was which was lying in my arms where she'd been for the last couple of hours. Her eyes had been just staring since bringing her home from the vets and about 3.45 she closed them and I told her it was ok to go, it broke my heart but I'm glad she was at home and I was holding her and the main thing she went peacefully, her breathing just slowed and she went with it, I actually felt her heart beat stop but couldn't stop crying :'( :'(
:RIP: baby girl, you'll be forever in our hearts, xxxxxxx
-
I'm so sorry Dawn,
RIP Sweet Cleo.
:hug:
-
:'( oh dear that's made me very sad so I can imagine how you must feel. I so wanted her to get well :hug:
poor girl, no more pain
godbless you sweetheart xx
-
Sorry Dawn - you must be heartbroken :'(
The only blessing is she died at home in your arms :hug:
Take care :hug:
RIP little Cleo :(

Sorry to hear this Dawn
With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would
I'm sitting right here; gently rubbing your ears
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
especially the ones; of the day we all met
One last hug; and one last kiss
you have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time
Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine
We'll run and play; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside
Your memory will live on; in each one of us
you'll always be number 1; to all of us
So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we must say goodbye
:RIP: CLEO

Oh Dawn im so sorry to hear this news you must be heartbroken :hug: i was praying this morning would bring some improvement for Cleo.My heart goes out to you :hug: :hug: r.i.p. baby on the bridge safe and well :Luv:
-
Dawn I am so very sorry. I am glad Cleo went peacefully to sleep in the arms of so much love. RIP little sweetheart :hug: for your mum
-
Oh Dawn, I don't know what to say but :hug: to you and RIP Cleo play hard on the bridge sweetheart
-
I'm so sorry Dawn, but at least she was with you and not in a vet's clinic :hug: RIP little Cleo
-
I'm so sorry Dawn, I know its no consolation right now, but I'm sure she felt so much more at ease in her own surroundings, and was able to let go feeling warm and loved :hug:
RIP little one :'(
xxxx
-
So sorry :'( :hug:
-
Thanks everyone :hug: Early hours I was wishing I'd just had her put to sleep when I went to pick her up but in hindsight and after talking to Siobhan this morning, I think it was better for her to be here. She went really peacefully and if I'd have left her in another night on a drip and she'd have died in the night, I would never have forgiven myself. It was a hard call for the vets as well as the way Cleo was reacting they weren't sure if it was down to stress or other issues going on with her, and although they weren't really happy her coming home they were concerned about how stressed and unhappy she was in there. Hubby said she shouldn't have been allowed home but at least here she was with the people that loved her most and she went in my arms :'(
-
I'm so sorry, Dawn. :(
RIP Cleo. :RIP:
-
I am so very sorry Dawn - thinking of you Hun xxx :hug: :hug:
RIP sweet Cleo - play hard at the bridge little girl xxx
-
I'm So Sorry Dawn :(
Please take solace knowing that she went peacfully in a loving familiar envoiroment, cradled in your arms
My thoughts are with you :hug: :hug: :hug:
R.I.P Cleo, have fun at the Bridge
-
I think you were right to bring her home Dawn. If she had died at the vets she would have been lonely and scared whereas at least she went peacefully in the arms of someone who loves her :hug:
-
I suppose it's hard because I was so excited when they said she could home, I just didn't expect it to be for the last time :'( :'( I'm no good when it comes to saying goodbye to them cos it breaks my heart, hubby is really upset as well, Cleo was his cat and was like a little dog with him, but more for me when she was poorly :'(
-
I am so sorry Dawn , at least she was with you :hug:
xxxxx
-
Dawn so sorry for Cleo's loss, she was at home with you and in a place where she was loved and wanted with all her little foibles
Its never easy with ferals and that makes it all the harder for us when making decisions
Our thoughts are with you :hug:
-
:RIP: little Cleo .
Better it was at home than the vets -at least she was safe with someone who loved her and not stressed out at the vets.
-
Oh Dawn I am so very sorry to hear the sad news :hug: I can't imagine how you are feeling at the moment but you must take comfort from knowing that Cleo was able to cross over on her own terms, when she was ready to go surrounded by the love and warmth and comfort from her mummy.
RiP Cleo darling ... play hard at the bridge little lady. Mummy will always love you and you will be sorely missed.
-
I'm so sorry.
I'd take comfort in the fact that she was safe and warm in her own familiar surroundings, instead of being stressed and scared at the vets.
RIP wee one.
-
RIP Sweetheart. :'( :'(

Dawn I am so sorry but I think it was best she was with you cos she knew she was still being loved right up to the end and went to the Bridge calm and peacefully. :hug: :hug: :hug:
