Franta my seal point birman is not too well tonight so will be off to the vets tomorrow.
As some of you know I have been watching him recently cos I wasnt sure if he had lost weight or it was just the amount he is moulting. I decided it was the latter as he didnt feel any lighter to pick up but tonight he does not seem well at all and is lying on my bed and his fur looks very scruffy and he is more lethargic than even normal lazy Franta. :( :(
-
oh dear Gill, hope its nothing more than a fur ball!
Good luck at the vets
-
Thanks Angie, he has been dumping fur balls all over my bed but his fur is coming out in clumps tonight.
He has just got up and is having some food, well licking jelly..............sigh
-
Sorry to hear that Gill, hope it's nothing serious. Will be thinking of you both tomorrow :hug:

Thanks Helen ;D

Try not to worry too much or you`ll have no thumbs left to twiddle. Hope everything goes well.
-
Thanks Teresa ;D
-
Thinking of you today. Speak to you later xxx
-
Good luck with the visit Gill I'm sure franta will love you after he has been wrestled in to a box, had his sleep disturbed had a nice car journey, had the vet pokoing and prodding, returned to box, return journey home!
Instead of twiddling thumbs suggest one is now working on the major bribe this will need to placate the wee darling!
Good luck with the visit we did 5 nice and 1 nasty for boosters and programme the lot in 20 mins even our vet is amazed at the speed we can shunt them through - we got parcels from bith ends for our sins! :innocent:
-
Thanks Liz :rofl:
I will be leaving in just over half an hour cos I will hit the traffic going onto the Gower, not looking forward to an hours wilingh and whining in the car. He isnfast asleep at moment lying on his cushion Ducha and alread meowed loudly at me this morning for disturbingn his sleep.
at least he was shouting at me again cos last night he was just a silent and lethargic, also he has clawed ne and had a nip at my arm, so he is better than last night :shify: :shify:
-
aawww cuddles to franta, hope he doesnt get too stressed with the car journey..are you going to ask them to do bloods gill to put your mind at ease since youve been a wee bit worried lately ?
-
I will be leaving in just over half an hour cos I will hit the traffic going onto the Gower
Having to leave an hour and a half before an appointment, I feel for you.
-
I am gonna wait and see what Richard says and recommends cos he is very good. I suspect it maybe mouth oriented and if so then he will want to do that any way cos of frantas age.
Lynn if u can reply real quick cos I about log off..........what bloods would need doing and where would results need to come from?
-
The bloods would be dont at the practice i would guess. Unless he also wanted to do thyroid ones which they sometimes send away..I'd mention you havent been 100% happy for a wee while now.
If he needs a dental etc if you think its his mouth then again due to age i imagine bloods (full bloods) would be a good idea before any ga etc (think of marks clapton)
hope you got that in time....dont worry
-
crap sorry...id day definately biochemistry (ie kidney/liver and everything else) and possibley haematology (blood counts etc)
-
Thanks Lynn got it
-
:Crazy: yeah if you understood..i just looked at the spelling :rofl:
-
I am back with a sore head from non-stop meowing all the way there :Crazy: :Crazy:
Turns out Franta had been in a fight and he had two puncture marks in the centre of his back so had been bitten. Vet thinks that it was starting the process to become an abcess and thats why he was down................also reckon his manhood was upset as it was likely ginger Jess who is a nasty female up the road, However the injury was still clean and looking fine and he has been given a long lasting anti biotic jab and Richard thinks he will not need any more treatment but to ring him and let him know how Franta is.
Franta also has a sore back cos he has strained a muscle, prob from the fight.
His weight is absolutely fine and only 2 ozs diferent from his health check in the Summer and apparently he is just moulting.
Yesterday my neighbour asked if i knew if there had been a cat fight during the night cos she found light coloured fur all over her path, well now we know yes and Franta was involved.
Anyway good thing I took him cos over the weekend the bite probably would have become nasty abcess.
Thanks everyonne for your concern and nice thoughts.
Hopefully my little gentleman will stay away from madam jess cos she is not the one for him, hes just far to gentle ;D
-
Ouch! :doh:
Please give Franta a gentle rub under the chin, glad he's ok.
Jess sounds like the kind of girl that mothers would tell him to stay away from :evillaugh:
-
Aw poor Franta!
Hope he feels better soon....poor man!
Lexy sends a BIG nose kiss !
-
That's a big relief Gill. Tell Franta to stay away from wild, wild women (and cigarettes and whisky, for that matter :rofl:).
-
Really pleased Gill and hope the abscess doesn't develop. I'm sure you'll keep an eye on it. Hopefully it is not possible for him to reach it to scratch it as that's why Billy's abscess wouldn't heal last year. What's he got for a treat then? Don't forget to treat yourself to something too to soothe your poor head.
-
So glad that you caught it before the abcess, I hope you have now bribed Franta and his siblings with something really tasty and you should have bread and water for tea so the treat can be really good!
Ours are on for Honey roast chicken tonight and all are currently massing downstairs even dear Bert who we usually put his tuff on a saucer and take to him is lying on the cat room bed waiting till he hears the fridge bleep then he can amble on in for some!
-
Hi Gill bless poor wee Franta I hope his wounds heal soon xx
Nasty Jess hurting Franta like that >:(
Sending him lots of cuddles and healing vibes xx
:hug: for you and I hope your head gets better soon :)
-
Thank you very much you are all so kind. ;D
Franta doesnt like nice food or treats :( just plain old felix in jelly pouches!
I will ceratinly keep and eye on him and no I dont think he can reach it cos its on the spine just below the base of the neck, he would need to be a contortionist I think ;D
At the moment it is just the two puncture wounds and it looks fine, he had been bitten sideways along the spine the evil little :censored:
The jab he had is one of those two week jobbies, the new one. I said to Richard I had heard they were not too good but he said they are if used for the right things and they were no good on say mouth infections. At least no trying and failing with pills and having to another 40 miles cos i am nearly out of petrol now 8)
-
Thank god for Convenia!
Glad Franta is ok and wont need to go back too soon or be bribed to take tablets, you got off lightly with just the headache me thinks lol :rofl:
-
So pleased that it isnt anything too serious, I`m sure the little man will be better in no time.
Think you can stop the thumb twiddling now Gill :)
-
thank goodness its nothing more serious gill ;D
atleast now he's been vet checked and weighed it can put your mind at ease about wandering if he'd loss weight or not..2oz is negligable and quite likely to be scales discrepancy so no worries ;D
-
Am so glad that it wasn't anything too serious, and fingers crossed he feels better soon.
-
Gill, so pleased to hear that Franta is OK.
-
Glad he's ok!
No more fighting now Franta - do you hear me? Real men know when to walk away ;)
-
so pleased Franta ok Gill apart from a bad bite and a lot of pride being bitten by a female of all things :hug: :hug: :hug:
Tell the bully ginger Jess to stop picking on him as he has lots of mates in P.I.O.H :rofl: :rofl:
Hope he starts to feel a lot better by the morning
Head kisses from my fur babes
xxxxxxx
-
Glad he's OK. Tell him girls that stay out late should be avoided and it's best to stay in of a night :boxer:
-
Franta says thank you all for being so nice and he assures me he will stay away from ginger women in future ;D ;D
-
Glad to hear he's okay Gill. Poor Franta - I agree with Jaffa's mum - discretion really is the better part of valour and girls like that - well, need I say more....?! ;)
-
I's sort of a ginger.....wonder if that means I can't cuddle Franta if I ever meet him? Hmmm
-
Aw, glad to hear Franta's OK, nasty ginger girl for biting him though.
-
Glad Franta's OK. Poor downtrodden boy, what a bully that Jess is!
-
Glad it was nothing serious!! :cheer:
