Tiger’s epileptic seizures have been getting worse by the day. Throughout this week I was able to monitor him closely and from an interval of 3-4 days, it became 1-2 days and yesterday, he threw two seizures in the same day, just five hours apart. His vet agrees that there is a deterioration. The next…

The last two days have been challenging. I was very worried about chronic kidney failure in Tiger because of his weight loss, so we decided it would be best to do a complete blood work on him. Yesterday morning was the blood test (after fasting for 10 hours – I fed him just before midnight…

One of our readers, Emma, had earlier shared that her cat, Toby, displayed similar symptoms as Tiger and Toby had fits for over a year. Toby also bit his flank and scratched severely during that time. Emma mentioned this when I first wrote about Tiger’s epilepsy. She also suggested that I checked out Feline Hyperesthesia…

It happened again just now, at about 6.30pm. Another fit. I was eating in the kitchen, but I thought I should go check on him, so I did and saw it all. Tiger came out from the vegetable pots and walked on the grass. Then he stopped, twisted to his back to bite an itchy spot.…

I started Tiger immediately on EaseSure on Tuesday evening itself (the moment I received the couriered package from the very kind reader who sent it over). Yesterday, apart from work, I stayed home all day, in the room, watching Tiger. I also administered the Ease Sure according to the suggested dosage three times a day,…

It’s been 8 weeks since Vincent’s tooth extraction and we are really happy that he has been eating very well. He eats wet food as well as kibble and has very good appetite. 8 weeks and counting! Here he is, on a kibble snack with his former arch-enemy, Mr Zurik. The two are still not…

I consulted with the vet today over Tiger’s seizure yesterday and he thinks it’s still too early to administer barbiturates. Yesterday, I had already consulted another vet and he too thinks it’s too early. In a way, I’m relieved that Tiger need not start on barbiturates yet. This evening, I noticed Tiger scratching quite intensely. Then,…

I just witnessed another fit from Tiger a few minutes ago. This time, he was under the sofa and I heard the sound. It lasted only about 5 seconds, just like the last one, which was 3 days ago. The trouble is, I think there would be episodes where I would miss because I am…

It’s been 9 days since the last episode. Tiger has been on Neurobion (B1, B6 and B12), Fish Oil, CoQ10 and Vetri DMG.  I was very hopeful that he would not have another attack, but it happened at 8.12am this morning. He was sitting in Pole’s condo platform when suddenly, I heard a thud. Tiger…

It started about more than a month ago. But I didn’t recognise it. The first time I noticed it, Tiger was scratching his ear, then suddenly, he scratched very vigorously and fell off the table. I thought his claw got stuck to his fur and that made him panic. Furthermore, Tiger has always been a bit…

Last weekend, we decided to bathe Tiger and Cleo. We normally don’t bathe our cats because they groom themselves very well. But Tiger has always had this “sticky” and oily sheen on his coat and he also has been scratching quite a bit lately (more about this in the next post). Cleo has been having…

We knew Bunny was gradually becoming blind over the last few months or even further back. He is FIV+ so blindness is one of the conditions often befalling cats with the FIV. On 22nd June, we got his eye pressure checked and it was on the higher end of the normal range. Since it was…
