So sorry to hear about your loss. Pancreatitis is very painful for them, so perhaps best not to have to live with it for too long. My old collie died of it. Run free lovely boy.
I'm taking him to see the vet again on Monday just to see if there are any avenues we haven't explored yet. I think the thyroid would have been tested when they did bloods for his liver and kidneys back in the summer but I'll check. One of the other cats had problems with that a couple of years...
To be honest I'm not sure what the balance between excitement and aggression would have been because I quickly make sure that there is a shut door between Grace & Moses when he starts to have a fit. It doesn't seem to be appropriate to just wait and see what happens next!
I agree that a lot of...
Thank you, that has put what I'm afraid of very clearly. Unfortunately it just wouldn't be possible to completely separate the house off into two parts. It is very small to start with, and because I work from home and have a workroom upstairs and an office downstairs I have to move through it...
I wouldn't be so worried if that was the case. Grace only gets excited once the fit is happening. I have heard of a border terrier who has seizures when her owner does - makes you wonder, doesn't it?
That's a very fair comment, and I have consulted a second vet, one is also a trained acupuncturist and who treats holistically. She thought possibly either ketones building up in the system, so I've changed his diet and added various supplements (from about six weeks ago). She also thought it...
I've got a difficult dilemma that I'm hoping more experienced whippet owners might be able to advise on. One of my cats, who is 15.5 years old, has recently started having fits occasionally. Like about once every six weeks or so. I'm worried about what might happen if I'm not around to take...
Would love to take some! Unfortunately I see them so infrequently and I can never predict when, and I rarely have a camera with me. But I will try to find an opportunity!
Happy rescue day Molly! I happened to see her son Guinness today with his people, he is looking really great. A lovely boy, sweet, happy and confident. And he owes that to Scruples :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Happy first birthday to him and his litter mates at the end of the week.
Yes, but I am lucky enough to be able to work from home. We need more dog-friendly workplaces! Most offices would be improved by a whippet curled up on a sofa, don't you think?
