I hope Bonnie gets better soon, keeping paws crossed for her. Fred had chickens on his little bandage, I wonder who thinks of these things?

Take it easy and take care if those scratches.

Aw bless her. I really hope she is better this morning Mary.

Cats do get over strokes much better than people do so hopefully she will back to her old self again very soon. Our Holly had one, it was very traumatic at the time but she had a long snooze and after a day or so she was ok.

Korky had an episode like the one you describe that was put down to a stroke and he recovered quickly and fully with Marbocyl which is an antibiotic.  I think Gill's Franta Napoleon had these ABs for his seizures too so it might be something worth asking the vet about.

I'm sorry to hear this, Mary.  As if you haven't got enough on your plate at the moment  :hug:

In general, cats do tend to recover very well from strokes.  Much better than people.  We think Jaffa had a small stroke when he was poorly but he recovered from that.  I suspect Bonnie's high bp was the cause?  It may be that increasing her bp meds will help prevent it happening again.

I hope she's improved this morning  :hug:

Mary, just popping by with massive hugs for you and for Bonnie.  How's she been overnight?

She may not be left deaf - it depends what area of the brain has been affected.  I have everything crossed here, and hope your scratches aren't too sore.   :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Oh Mary you must be terribly worried. What a traumatic couple of weeks for you  :(

We had a similar issues with little Chausette, she was the runt and never expected to live very long, but she went on for a year after her stroke, albeit she was deaf on one side and walked in circles some of the time.

I'm not trying to make light of the situation, and certainly know what Bonnie means to you, to all of us for that matter, but its worth staying hopeful until the investigations are complete. Every finger and paw crossed for her lovliness here. :hug: :hug:

Our vet told us that if a cat survives the first 24 hours, most will go on to make good progress.   :hug:  It was true for us and hope it will be for Bonnie xxx

That's probably whyhe wants tosee her in the morning Sue.  At the moment I wouldsay she is a lot beter as she hasopened her eyes, eventhough she can't see and willnotlet me pick her up.So that is her old self.

Thanks ever so much everyone

Paddy had a stroke at 15 years old Mary.  We had him a further 5 years, although it left him deaf.  His quality of life however remained good until his last 6 months.  Sending you both much love Mary.  Know just how much you mean to each other.   :hug:  Her little bandage sounds so sweet.   :)

Her bandage sounds really cute.

I do hope Bonnie will recover quickly.  I have known people whose cats have had strokes and they have made a good recovery - a little more wobbly than before, but certainly with a good quality of life.

Bonnie wasn't walking last night, her legs were all over the place, fod and water knockedover.  She let me pick her up which she never does, I stroked nd kissed her and she purred a bit. She had some food and Iwent to bed with her.  She was still likeit this morning so I took her to the vet and he gave her a right look over and said she'd had a stroke  :(  He gave her 2 injections and a blood test and wants me to go back tomorrow morning.  I just can't loose her as well as my mum.  She didlet me pick her up a hour ago andthen scratched hell out of me toget down, so that could be good news fingers crossed.  She also hadsome food and water.  She alsoripped oneofher claws out and Eddie put a bandage on and it has little paw prints on it :rofl:
