Heloooooo everyone :)

Merry Christmass and happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate :bighug:

I've got a long update ahead.... first, I resigned from my job and will start a new part time position with less hours and days. More Fistuk time for me ;)

I was searching for a nutritionist to start preparing food for my babies at home. So I thought it'll be good to get blood tests so I'm ready once I've found someone to work with.

And we discovered.... (all measures updated in the SS):
Fistuk's leucocytes are sky rocketing. Poor thing have been suffering so such for a long time I think. It's probably from the upper canines (all other teeth were extracted long time ago).

We started AB:cylanix, 50+12.5mg. After two days only and WOW. His energy perked up and he looks so much more himself. He's more alert and awake.

I'm also happy to report that this AB doesn't give him diarrhoea. He had just a mushy top on the baked goods and a bit of a mucky butt which I had to clean but that's nothing compared to what we suffered before when giving AB.

Next thing is Xray. We've got an appointment for Jan 17. Since my vet is a house visit vet I need to find a clinic where I could do the Xray and the operation. I found one which is ONLY FOR CATS :joyful::joyful::joyful: It made me so happy. They also specialise in sedation so it feels good. It's on the other side of the lake so it's a drive but for these rare occasions it's ok.

Our vet said that Fistuk might need to have once more AB later on.

Fistuk's eating much better now but I needed to syringe feed him. I'm happy that he still loves it, even more than loves.... BC I want him to gain a bit of weight that way I can stuff him LOL He loves it:joyful:

The good news is that he doesn't have bacteria in the bladder and his kidney values did go up so badly. So it seems that the Renax I give him help to stabilise.

His liver enzyme values are also elevated. I started giving some milk thistle but I think the little diarrhoea he had (before starting AB) was from that. I had to stop it - to changes at one time. I also changed his food. Once we stop with AB I'll start with milk thistle again and perhaps this time a bit more slowly.


We also took blood from Prince. I wanted to make sure he's good and luckily he is.


We wish all the humans and furry angles a boring year of green colours all around and no dramas :kiss:

Thank you for being here for us with your love, kindness, guidance and encouragement.

Much love,
Fistuk and Shelly
and Prince and Robert too :joyful::bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Shelly,

the pictures of Fistuk are so super cute! :bighug::bighug::bighug: I am so happy you found the reason, he was not so well the last time. Did his hind legs improved as well? I hope he continues to thrive and all goes well with his dental. Enjoy your holidays and have a great time with the boys! :cat::cat::)

Hi Karolina :)
It's lovely to be in touch with you again xx Love the pic :)
I hope you get to enjoy some quality time with Nestle and Peanut over the coming weeks :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hello Shelly! It is nice to read you! I am glad that you found what was going on with Fistuk, it must be so good to se him doing better. It is amazing what bad teeth can do to them.
I hope you have a great time during the holidays.
Hi Cecile :)
I know, it's crazy. And it explained to me the fluctuations in his numbers.
Wishing you a lovely end of year time :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Heike :)
His hid legs are not better and he lost some muscle mass. We'll have to deal with the teeth first and then see if I can get him acupuncture to rebuild his hind legs strength. But I think that the neurological problem remains and I don't know what I can expect as recovery for his hind legs.
I hope you have a break now and get to enjoy the season of inner light :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Staci,

thank you! Sounds like a good plan to take care of his teeth first. Acupuncture sounds really helpful. You are a great cat mom! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Hi Shelly, so nice to read your update. I’m glad you have found a new job. I hope it goes well for you!
Happy Hanukkah to you also. Wishing you the best at this season.
Good job getting to the bottom of Fistuk’s issues. Hoping his teeth will remedy some issues.
The photos are just beautiful. He’s such a handsome boy.

Glad Prince is doing so well. What a relief that must be.

I hope you all have a calm and boring week and enjoy the holidays :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hi Staci :)
Sorry for a late reply xx It was nice to have some friends for dinners and get some rest.
I wish I could say a good job on detecting what's the problem, this time. I think I should have done the blood tests earlier and not so late.

It is indeed a relief that Prince is ok! The vet suggested to make sure he drinks more so I'll get a fountain and hope it'll encourage more drinking.

Thanks for the compliments. Fistuk now looks better and he's beautiful face shows more clearly which is such a delight.

Hope you've enjoyed some nice Hanukkah and Christmas celebrations :bighug::bighug::bighug:
