Woke up this morning to find Milo hadn't been to bed, it was 4am. I found him in the airing cupboard where he had spent most of yesterday, Him and Bella do that when they feeling a bit off so I just let them rest.
Kissed him goodnight last night and he never purrred so I left him a drink and a litter tray and a bit of food.
He hadn't moved this morning and I was scared to touch him in case he had died. He hadn't but as I moved him I could see and smell he had messed himself. He had actually had a stroke :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( his left side was not moving and we sat together on the floor sobbing my heart out.
The vets have basically said "wait and see" he has had metacam just n case he has any pain. I carried him out to the garden when it got warmer and he laid on the grass eating it. I There certainly is a little improvement in him since this morning he can move his front and back legs a little.
He was 25 in JANUARY and is a little frail man but still has a mad moment now and again. We decided there was nothing the vet can do apart from what I have done and as I said they have said wait and see......................
I will see how he is over the next couple of days but will do the right thing by my little old chap, I love him so much my hearts broken today :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Please send good vibes to my little wrinkly

Thankyou all so much we have just had a beautiful snuggle on the bed with Milo man. He definitely seems brighter and the movement in his back leg is so much better.......... he has been drinking a lot today but his mouth wasn't working properly earlier and it is now ;D I put him in the litter tray twice and he managed to have a wee with Mummy holding him up. I'm making myself feel positive and have told him how much I love him and hope he can get better.
I also told him to let me know in his own little way when he has had enough and Mummy will call the lovely vet man to the house to help him to Rainbow bridge :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( I promised him I wouldn't take him in the car as he hates it. He is such a brave little soldier and whats really lovely is Bella is now laying asleep with him............ :hug: :hug: she is such a good twin sister to him :hug: :hug: :hug:
Will keep you all updated on my brave little old man
thankyou all again for your kindness :thanks:

so sorry to hear this, must be a very difficult time.
hope he pulls through, i'm sure there is a few more years left in the ol' boy.
did he not get a letter from the queen when he reached 25? i think he deserves it

Hoping that Milo pulls through :hug: to you both x

Hows Milo today SP ?
I do hope he really picks up and gets over this setback
:hug:

Morning all
Thanks for changing the picture Gill that is my handsome young man. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Milo had a very peacefull night and is sooooooooooooo much better this morning. I made him a little home in our spare room so everything was ground level (including me on a mattress) he stayed asleep for hours and was snoring his head off :hug: I had a dead arm and was dying to go to the toilet (glad I didn't wet the bed)
His front pad is quite cold but the movement has come back i would say 50% and he is only dragging the back one slightly. How can they recover so quickly from these things
The only thing I am a bit concerned about it the fact he hasn't eaten still but the vet told me as long as he is drinking not to worry when they phoned to see how he was
I hope he continues to improve. I will TRY and get a nice picture of my little soldier at some point today and TRY to upload it
Thankyou all for your good wishes and yes I am mad enough I passed each and everyone on to Milo
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Glad to hear there has been an improvement, still thinking and sending good vibes to you both. Rosie sends a purr! xx
-
Fab news that he's a bit better today. Still sending all positive vibes your way that this continues and that he gets his apetite back x
-
Glad he is better.... and yes in this heat water is more important than food...... Sending lots of good vibes and love to you and Milo :Luv:
-
So glad Milo is getting better. :)
Hope it continues.
-
Great to here the old man is doing okay ..big hugs to him :Luv:
-
Such good news about the handsome Milo. Hope his appetite returns. Continuing to send very positive vibes for our elderly fella.

Well done Milo! How about some nice [insert name of Milo's very favourite food here]?
-
Ah - I'm glad Milo's doing well and that things are looking good ;D Cmon Milo, you can do it! We're all rooting for you.
-
My little wrinkly is sooooooooooooo much better today, he has just woken up and eaten quite a bit of liquidised senior cat food :hug: I am so amazed at the speed he has his walking back. Its far from being normal but truly amazing to watch him..brave little man he is
Its probably down to all my love and all the good vibes all of you have been sending :thanks: :hug: :hug: :hug:
He is as I type under his fav tree in the sunshine............ I carried him out there but wont leave him too long
Thankyou all sooo much for helping my little man

Just read your thread about your little dance (sorry won't read the words to song as know I'll end up in tears and what good does that do me? Everyone at work already knows I'm a softie over the furry fellas). Anyway immediately came to this thread to see how he's doing and so glad he is continuing to improve. :) :) :) Well done that little man!
-
how's the little fella today?
-
morning all
well Milo doesnt seem very happy this morning, he has terrible runny poo and hasnt come out from the airing cupboard. He scratched my face (im glad I had my glasses on) and bit my nose. vet said he may be in a bit of pain and to give metacam.im just going to leave him alone all the time he is resting he might get pain free :hug: :hug: :hug:
i only wanted a cuddle :'(
xx
-
:'( really sorry to hear that!!
:grouphug: to both you and Milo........
-
:hug:
He probably feels down-in-the-dumps and grumpy, bless him.
I am sure he will appreciate it if you just sit quietly near him and perhaps play some gentle music?
-
christine
thats a very good idea. Should have thought of that myself as during Fluffs last days when she was feeling bad due to her pains, she used to purr real hard if I sat on the floor and talked gently to her-Smudgepickles you should try and see!!

Its so sad when they arn't well and they can't tell you whats wrong with them,wish I could talk to animals like Doctor Dolittle :'(
-
Thankyou :hug: :hug: :hug:
He has just ventured out of the cupboard and into my office his back leg is still not right but I guess the metacam worked. He was grooming my leg as Im sitting here working still in my PJ'S I think he might be telling me my legs need a shave. Have lifted him onto his fav spot... right next to me on my desk
Will leave his physio untl later, I dont want to upset him again
xx
-
sorry, dont know what else to suggest. :(
-
Awwww I hope hes feeling more himself now and continues to improve
:hug:
love

How is Milo getting on?
PS I looked at your profile to find this thread quickly and I think you have a typing error (letter missing) in your email addy?
-
Sorry Christine I hadn't seen this until now :hug:
He is doing so much better especially today, he managed to have a Pooh without falling over and then took himself off and pulled up onto the bed (shhhh don't tell him we have put the quilt hanging on the floor to make life easier) :evillaugh: :evillaugh: he came and got on my shoulder in the night which made my day, he still gets a bit wobbly but I noticed today he went to the food that hadn't been liquidised and ate as he does with his little hand
Its amazed everyone that saw him the day it happened the speed he is recovering for a beautiful old gent
Thanks all for your lovely comment, good wishes and positive vibes for The Milo man :hug: :hug: :hug:
