Thanks for the update.I'm sorry that poor Merlin has been so unwell again though.

Poor Merlin. Glad he's feeling a bit better. Good news with Blueberry and Angel too. Hope Lady Pandora is ok too.

Thought I should update on Merlin.
He has been poorly again with terrible runs and been back to,vet most of the last two,weeks for different antibiotics, full bloods etc.
All came back normal, but his white blood cells were a bit low.
Think,we have the diabetes under control.as he is now off the insulin.
Tried a vitamin B injection as well as all the the tablets and he is a lot better again for now.
Another £300 to the vet bill !
Now he has also got fat ! So going to,have to put him on Royal canin light to lose some weight , can't win really !
Pandora has been also,for a check up.
All the others are doing wel including Blueberry and Angel .

Merlin is looking so much better than when you first got him, I do hope you get some more donations as its hard at times when your on your own with a sanctuary

bunglycat · « **Reply #127 on:** January 04, 2015, 18:51:26 PM »

Not too good Louise .
Got loads of likes but no more donations and with Blueberry and Angels bill on top and Merlin back again this week for bloods this week it will be not far off £1000

All have been ill over Xmas and Angel had to go on a drip.

Have you seen the thread for those two -did it few mins ago .
Thank you again .xx

I put those pictures and stories in the other thread of my cats stories

LouiseJ · « **Reply #126 on:** January 04, 2015, 18:29:22 PM »

Nice picture Gill!!
How is the fund raising doing? If you email this one to me I'll caption it and put it on his FB page in the morning.

bunglycat · « **Reply #125 on:** January 04, 2015, 17:54:37 PM »

Merlins update is , he is doing ok at the moment , but back sometime this week for bloods again.
He has been on Sheba as its virtually no sugar in it , but now he has put weight on !

Here is a new picture of the man himself .

pandorawarlord · « **Reply #124 on:** January 03, 2015, 13:08:31 PM »

Gill not on FB but is there an update on Merlin please and Bluberry and Angel?

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #123 on:** December 26, 2014, 16:17:09 PM »

Gill

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all this, it's no wonder that you have become ill yourself

bunglycat · « **Reply #122 on:** December 26, 2014, 15:26:12 PM »

Thanks, to top it all up I have been really ill myself this morning , think it may be all the stress making my colitis flare up .

I a, worried sick about Angel, plus the vets bills as it still stands at over £500 now and I have paid £300 off !
As fast as I pay some off , someone else has to go to he vets!

I wish people would look after their cats !

Both Angel and Blueberry are very underweight , Angel is only just over 2kg and Blueberry hasn't yet been weighed but she is a lot less ,around 1.5 kg.

Never seen a vet except for being spayed years ago ,no checks ups, no nothing.
Blueberry would have died by now if I hadn't taken her .

Will try and get some pictures on later when I feel a bit better.

sheilarose · « **Reply #121 on:** December 26, 2014, 14:04:56 PM »

That's the last thing you needed Gill.

You never seem to get a break do you. Poor Angel.

bunglycat · « **Reply #120 on:** December 26, 2014, 13:57:44 PM »

Angel has now got to go to the vet and go on a drip for.a few days as she just won't eat at all , no idea what's happened and why she has stopped eating .
This is really upsetting

bunglycat · « **Reply #119 on:** December 25, 2014, 22:36:43 PM »

Well, no choice now I can't get Angel to eat anything at all and its been 3 days.

I have to take her to the vets tomorrow , so another £100 call out fee before treatment.
Can't understand what's wrong

I have tried loads of different food , liquidizing it and still she won't eat .

SHe can't carry on like this ,,she had antibiotics yesterday and still no joy.
My internet is also down and had to get on here by tethering my phone .

Yet, another crap Xmas !
Only highlight was spending 3 hours at my neighbours and having a lovely dinner.
Then I get back to all the problems again.

bunglycat · « **Reply #118 on:** December 25, 2014, 00:06:58 AM »

Merlins bloods have come back ok , his insulin is now reduced to 2mls twice a day now .
Only trouble is he is now too fat ! So,got to,go on a diet.
Another blood test in 3 weeks, so unfortunately as fast as I am paying the bill off for him , it's still,going up with all his tests .

To top it up Angel,is very poorly , not sure if it's stress related or bad reaction to vaccination on Monday. She hasn't eaten for 48 hours and had to,take her to the vet today and she has had pain killer and penicillin injection, if no improvement on Boxing Day , I have to take her back and that's another £100 call out on top,of any treatment. But it may have to be done.
She has been sick a lot , but all frothy and had loads of wees , some with a sort of mucus and a bit of blood .
These so loved cats are both terribly underweight and quite frail,little things.
Don't think they have ever seen a vet from being spayed years ago !

So my vet bill,is going up,and up and now stands at almost £600 even though I have paid over £400 recently .

This place has now turned into a sanctuary for elderly and neglected cats nobody wants.

Just to think of a name for it , but would like to incorporate Winston and Smarties names of possible .

Please send big healing vibes for Angel as she really isn't well at all .

Will start another thread for these newbies and some pictures shortly .
Whilst writing this Bluebery has just done projectile vomiting all over the kitchen floor

I would love a normal Xmas without spending it at the vets !!

Think they both need healing vibes now .
Wonder if it's the injections

Hope everyone has a fabulous Xmas xx

hope all is going well for Merlin, look forward to seeing pictures of them all

fluffybunny · « **Reply #116 on:** December 19, 2014, 20:17:11 PM »

Bless him, I do hope that things can be got onto an even keel. I'm really sorry but with my rescue rabbits here I don't have any spare cash to donate, but I am sending him good thoughts. A friend of mine has a diabetic cat and she was switched onto a raw food diet and kitty has gone from strength to strength and has had about 3 years without medication and it's only in recent weeks now she's getting really old that there is talk about starting kitty back on drugs.

Best thoughts and gentle head rubs for the lovely Merlin xx

bunglycat · « **Reply #115 on:** December 17, 2014, 23:40:44 PM »

Merlin sends a big musical purr and thankyou to mad_lilli for her lovely kind donation towards his vet bill.

He is back on Monday for bloods done.
A big thankyou too to everyone that has donated for him so far .
It's really kind and very much appreciated .

Will transfer what's in so far to pay some off the bill on Monday , got to keep the vet sweet, hate owing him money ,but luckily is ok about it being paid in bits .

Thank you so much Pav and to the ones that have donated for my boy .

He is back at the vets a week on Monday so fingers crossed for normal,blood sugar level.
He is mainly on Sheba no sugar now it's the rabbit and chicken if anyone is in need of knowing this .
I got some cat care from the diabetic cat forum .

Will be posting in a day or so with pics of the two new arrivals, been here just over 3 weeks now and a lot better than when they came here !

Sick, elderly and neglected cats are really in the right place with you Gill, you are so caring and patient.

I just wish you could win the Lotto.

bunglycat · « **Reply #105 on:** December 13, 2014, 01:16:59 AM »

Merlin would like to say a big, meow thankyou and loads of purrs to everyone who donated , you all know who you are.
It's so kind , we have a long way to go yet to cover the bill and Merlin has a long way to go too ( along with Bluebery who had to have a complete dematt , all,her teeth out , blood tests and injections, plus nails clipped.
She has now been introduced and seem to have settled in already with not too much fuss.
Angel has just been introduced tonight and just for a couple of hours as she is more nervous .
She only had her nails clipped and injections at the vet ,but was so scared she wet herself on the table .

I am sure she will gain more confidence in time .
This is definately a home for rescued sick and elderly cats .
These two,definately were neglected !

I have 3 at the vets next week , two for injections , Merlins blood sugar levels and Blueberry needs another blood test as her teeth had been left rotten so long it had started poisoning her system and affecting her kidneys

.

Merlin is also now on Sheba as I read on the cat diabetic forum the terrine has no sugar in it , so special.food for a special boy.
Blueberry is also on it as her glucose was a bit high but could have been stress, but she has no teeth and finding the biscuits a bit hard at the moment to eat .

Thank you again everyone , I know things are hard this time especially , so it's so kind of you who donated to Magical Merlins fund . Xxx

I've got a Paypal account, but not got a FB account - do you have to have one to donate, as I cant see a link? (Am I being dense here?

)

LouiseJ · « **Reply #99 on:** December 10, 2014, 16:41:55 PM »

You just need to click the link Sue, it takes you to paypal and then you either log in if you have an account or you do a one off by debit/credit card.

bunglycat · « **Reply #98 on:** December 10, 2014, 16:39:39 PM »

Hi,
I have done the donate button and it works fine -have already had a donation -you know who you are and a great big thankyou from me and Merlin.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #97 on:** December 10, 2014, 16:32:33 PM »

Apologies Gill - am clueless as to how the donate buttons work, but the page looks great - very professional.

bunglycat · « **Reply #94 on:** December 10, 2014, 15:24:30 PM »

I would like to give an update on this .
The fabulous Louise has done a facebook page for Merlin
https://www.facebook.com/Merlinthemagical?ref=notif&notif_t=page_new_likes

The only thing is neither of us knows how to,do,a donate button to link to paypal .
The only way of donating is either to my paypal address or send a cheque direct to the vet.

A long while back someone from another country ask for donations to,save her cats eye ( can't remeber the cats name ,something like Samuri !?)
Not sure how she got the money but he got it all and had his eye surgery .

Can anyone help,or advise after looking at his page please?
Thanks everyone.

Think I have done a direct link now.

I am going to look at a better wet food Liz as I have read that's better .
I was up hours till early this morning reading all about the food and dry even the diabetic being no good really.
Thanks

bunglycat · « **Reply #92 on:** December 03, 2014, 21:37:03 PM »

To be honest Sheila I am thinking that myself !
It's so stressful trying to sort out the food now as mine have always grazed as and when, now I have to feed separately ,move food and I don't seem to have time to do myself a proper meal and I haven't had the best news from the doctor about my own health either .

I only went as I have had a cough about two months and I am so tired ( I have fibro, ulcerative colitis, my back is worn out and always in pain with it and nothing more they can do, I have pituarty tumour, arthritis and joint issues and a leaking heart Valve ,, that's all I can remember at present ..lol )
So he said I had to have blood tests as my immune system isn't very good.
They rang me back within 24 hours , got vitamin D deficiency and my big worry is they told me my kidneys aren't filtering as they should and my level was down .
It's worrying me as my mum and brother both died of kidney failure ! ( my brother died of multiple organ failure , but he drank and smoked in the padt ) my mum and me never smoked and I haven't drunk for years now .
Not sure how much worry I can take.
I am in debt to the vet as well, that's why Louise is setting the page up for me .

I am going to have to get it through to myself I can't help every cat now .
