HI Devonbabe,

I am sorry to hear your cat is not well, but your right to take him home as he will be much better looked after.

It is amazing how pets can recover with love and attention. I am a great believer in Rescue Remedy for it relaxes them, I think a few drops of it myself and it does work.

Big hugs.

hes moved around on the duvet. i gave him some whiskers milk at 9, just a little syringe of milk, he licked his lips and seemed to like it. i have to hold his head and put the syringe in the side of his mouth and then he swallows it.

i just came outof the kitchen and his hind leg was moving. not the foot though, just the thigh. his toes are cold, so i have to rub them to get the circulation going in them

weve turned the lights off now, so hopefully he will close his eyes and sleep. he was just lying there with his eyes open before. his pupils are wide and hes staring, i think hes still very much drugged up and not 100% with us

hes had visitrs already, my mum called around to see him

hes purring, so he seems happy enough

will check again at 10

Jacobs diary

last night he drank water from his bowl himself. i had to hold him upright cause he kept flopping over. he cant hold himslef even in a sitting position.

had a restful night, nice and quiet away from the ward in the hospital. moved around the dining room floor. hubby checked on him twice during the night and said he was shuffling around the duvet, then crawled off the duvet onto the wood floor ( he likes to lay on the floorboards its cool)
he also did a pee, so his bladder is ok

i woke at 6. and carried him into bed with me, we had a cuddle for 1/2 hour, then he decide it was time to get up and shuffled around the bed and tried to jump down but slid on to the floor. then we went for a walk around the garden, i was carrying him and showing him his garden, put him on the grass and he tried to get up the steps, but flopped.

then we had another bit of water fro mthe bowl. i put him on the kitchen floor and got his and Tangos breakfast. again he looked interested but wouldnt eat. so i took a small chunk of meat and stuffed it in his mouth so he got the taste of food again. then he liked another small peice i held for him. and then ...he ate about 3-4 mouthfulls off the plate. i was still supporting him so he was standing like a proper cat and could eat standing up. then he had a syringeful of milk and his tablets. now hes back on the duvet

ive massaged his legs and paws. and last night he trid to lift his leg and scratch his belly!!

so i really do think bringing him home was the best thing to do. he looks more like Jacob again this morning

hes got to go back to the hospital at 11.30 for an assesment
so will report back after that

Morning,

Well that seems all very positive hopefully he will get good report from vet this morning.

At least he has eaten a little and that should give him more strength.

I'm so pleased that Jacob seems to be on the mend!! Very encouraging - you must be feeling a little relieved, hun!
Look forward to the vet's update!
love

Well done with Jacob. I am sure animals know the difference between being cared for as in having their needs met and being cared for with love.
Sending positive vibes and little fluffles for him....

Hope Jacob is well today. xx

This is my little one 'Milo' who is 10months, and the most loving cat Ive ever known. Whichever room I am in, he comes too.


Hmmm, why doesnt my picture show in post?

Awwwww - Milo is so cute - looks a bit like my Milly Minx!

Hey DB - any news on Jacob?
love

hes on heart tablets and asperin to try to break up the clot. his legs are completly useless at the moment, but the vet says it can be anything up to 2 weeks before anything happens. we just have to take it one day at a time. hes on new tablets as from tomorrow which the vet is hoping may increase the circulation. he did say however that although the main artery is blocked the body can find another vein and re route the blood supply to the affected part. so heres hoping.
he hasnt eaten anything today apart from a few mouthfuls at breakfast but he has drunk water 3 times, ive got him some special food from the vets for poorly cats, which i can mix into a paste, warm up and feed him with a dropper. hes asleep now, stretched right out about 3 foot long on his duvet. its diet night tonight, so hes been moved from the dining room, and hubby is cat sitting with him in the lounge.
keep everything crossed for him please.
