No news this morning, so no idea what her condition is. It’s the round one, who is 7. Bad night all round.

So, could be a stroke. Could be a growth on the brain. Slight chance it’s an infection. Options are £££££ referral scan, or wait and see what develops, with antibiotics and sedation. Can’t really see the benefit of that as it then leaves more questions. So we wait and see.

No, she’s intubated, and we will see how the next day is.

Well, my daughter (whose cat she effectively is) has visited and spent a little time with her. Some progress, so we shall see another day. Daughter actually works for the vets and now is going to that hospital for her shifts tomorrow, so we will get a better update, hopefully.
This is her in better times..

Better news today, she's had a poo, and is able to eat soft food, so the tube is out. Recognises Miss Jaded.
Diagnosis not really cleared up yet though...
edited to add, I've just seen a video of her, quite distressing.

In my car today I drove over a squirrel. It hesitated mid-road then darted across as my car
approached it. I couldn't brake, as I was being tailgated. The sound as my wheels crushed its
body wasn't nice.

That's such a shame De Sisti, not a pleasant experience at all.
Better news on our front, she's improved enough to come home! Still a way to go, but fingers crossed.

So she can walk, feed herself and go to the loo (although that results in a veritable explosion of litter across the kitchen floor). Has a marked head tilt, that shows up when she's not concentrating hard. We've borrowed a dog cage for her to be in, but she's happy to get out of it now. Likes cushions on the floor.
We've been giving her physio - taking her far away from her bed and food and making her walk back. Repeat until CROSS!
No diagnosis, but probably a clot.

Looks as if Dumpy is not long for this world. Was short of breath last night so took him to the vet. Fluid in one lung, pnuemonia if he's very lucky, but probably heart disease. They will get the fluid down and probably send him home with anti-coags, but the prognosis is not good. He's only about 5 years old (been with me 18 months since we took him in) but they said former strays often have these issues after a few cold winters on the street.

He has a very high temperature today, which suggests it may be a lurgy after all. They are going to try to do more scans this morning.

Definitely some cardomyopathy, but less than they would expect from the symptoms. May not even be the cause. He's still there tonight
I have delivered a T-shirt that smells of me, and some roast chicken.

Keeping fingers crossed that this is something the vet can fix and whatever happens he's kept as comfortable as possible.
