Re: RIP my sweet Bendikins

I used to be on these boards all the time but haven't posted in awhile. I visit every so often though and have just now seen your news of Bendy. I am so so sorry to hear your sad news. I have tears. Bendy was, and is an inspiration to me. What an amazing cat. I loved hearing all about him and your r...

Hi. I wanted to post this here updating you all because you guys have been so good to me through everything. I have been a member here since late 2005 when my darling cat Misty had an FCE and have been on and off the boards ever since-especially in 2008 when my beautiful Misty also suffered nerve da...

Vote For A Cat With Disabilities In A Nationwide Pet Comp!!

Hiya, I've been a member here for a few years. My cat Misty has had (in the last few years) a FCE (spinal stroke), nerve damage and arthritis. The help and support I've gotten here has been phenomenal. Misty is doing really well-her nerve damaged leg is so much better-not 100% because she has arthri...

Re: Help, Reassurance And Support NEEDED!!

Just thought I'd update you all. Carol-We recieved the litterbox last night!! It actually arrived in NZ on the 11th of June but because of a mix-up at the post office they held on to it untill now. It was so exciting getting a package in the mail. My cat pretended she wasn't interested in it and did...

Re: Arthritis in back and neck- How to cope

By the way, I just wanted to mention-I know how your heart aches. I know the feelings you're having and the pain you feel when your dog is having trouble. I have had bad stomach issues just from seeing the frustration my cat has had previously, my heart literally aches, I've gone without sleep, have...

Re: Arthritis in back and neck- How to cope

Hey there!! First things first-stop stressing (easier said then done I know). In my experience animals pick up on stress and then that makes them stressed or uncomfortable. Your doggie is going to be okay!! Arthritis can be helped ALOT. My cat has arthritis in her front left leg, back and shoulder f...

Re: FCE diagnosis today---HELP

Hi Lori, I just wanted to say: Hang on in there!! My cat had an FCE is late 2005-and it was one of the scariest times of my life. Luckily our vet specialist was positive and everyone on the board was too-I really needed to hear positive comments at that time. It does get better!! My cat started drag...

Re: Help, Reassurance And Support NEEDED!!

Thank you so very much Carol!! You're so kind. I can't wait for it to arrive-I'm so excited!! Haha, to anyone else that would sound crazy-being excited about a litterbox-but I am!! The vet specialist wanted us to try the Prednisone for awhile before having any other tests run as he believes they wou...

Re: FCE help! Looking for others with FCE experiences.

Hey, just thought I'd post and say hang on in there!! My cat had an FCE in late 2005. It was such a scary experience but we got through it and you will too!! It does get better-my cat was walking okay (not really well, but alright) after a few months and it just got better and better from there. I'm...

Re: Help, Reassurance And Support NEEDED!!

Well I have some great news. All her blood tests came back and they were all fine-perfect!! I was worried because she hasn't had blood tests for a few years-but they all look really good. So as you can imagine it was a huge relief to me!! She's 13-14 years old and the vet said all the functions were...

Re: Help, Reassurance And Support NEEDED!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for your replies!! I feel a million times more able to cope now then I did yesterday. Yesterday was very stressful-my cat is the sweetest, gentlest thing but hates the vets. The car trip to the specialist clinic was a bit of a drive and she gets very car si...
