Brenda,
I just read this thread, and I want to say I'm so sorry about what your baby is going through! Have you tried giving Simon some mackerel or tuna? Maybe he would eat that? But I know with urinary problems, foods that are high in purines would not be good, and I know fish is high in purines...Ummm....how about eggs with rolled oats or maybe cottage cheese? He might go for that! I'm praying for little Simon!!

sexiixtc · 05-29-2007, 07:56 AM

oh Brenda.. I am so sorry you have to be going through this. I'm sure Simon will get lots better with love and care from his mommy.

Keeping you and Simon in my prayers

Tiger's Mom · 05-29-2007, 08:03 AM

Oh Brenda, it must be such a heartbreaking time for you and your family. It sure is so hard when our little ones are very, very sick.

I will pray for Simon . . .

When my cat was hit by a car and fractured his pelvis the vet told me to give him oily fish, (he had anything in sunflower oil that was tinned), it apparent is good for their digestive system making it easier to pass feceas and also good for the joints... my cat a good recovery but did expect the nice fish every day for a long time afterwards.

Simon is beautiful! I'm so sorry you're going through this. We went through something similar with our cat and eventually had to let him go. It was sooooo hard, especially since our kids were young at the time.

I'm sending healing thoughts and prayers your way!

Brenda,
Prayers for your dear Simon and for you and your family.
I have been gone and just saw this.

Tinkerbelle1 · 05-29-2007, 05:13 PM

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Simon.

bren · 05-29-2007, 05:48 PM

I just saw this. Simon is such a beautiful cat. I'm praying that he gets stroner everyday.

Gingergirlsmom · 05-29-2007, 07:03 PM

I'm hoping Simon is seeing some improvement by this evening. Just checking in.

Breny · 05-30-2007, 06:17 AM

Thanks so much everyone for all your support! I really needed it and appreciated it more than I could ever say!!!

I beleive your prayers are working!!! He's gained his bladder control back and some of his back leg usage!

His back legs went from feeling ice cold to warm again!!!

Last night he actually walked. It was far from a normal walk but my little guy is fighting!!! It seemed once he was able to get himslef up and moving the better he did.

We are pretty sure it was a stroke and everyone keeps preparing me that it can happen again

but I know they are just trying to prepare me as I don't handle these things very well.

He is still not eating, but taking the formula I make him. I left him with cottage cheese this morning so I'll check when I go home for lunch to see if he touched it.

So I just wanted to report in that he's trying to walk and has made progress!

Does anyone have anyother suggestions to offer him to eat? He wouldn't take chicken and he's never like tuna.

Thanks again for everyones prayers!!! I think they are working! To go from complete lower paralized to some wobbly walking .........its amazing from how I found him Sunday

midnightmist · 05-30-2007, 07:17 AM

Another prayer coming your way.Simon is a beautiful boy.

chattiesmom · 05-30-2007, 07:23 AM

Thank you for the update and allowing your YT family to rejoice with you! Go Simon Go!

Gypsy & Me · 05-30-2007, 08:13 AM

Glad the prayers are working.... sending more love and hope your way!

Does Simon like any fish?

Ozzie'sperson · 05-30-2007, 08:28 AM

Brenda --

That's GREAT news about Simon. I so empathize. We had a similar experience last year with Tigger, my 15-year-old Tabby. Thought for sure he was a goner due to a nasty infection. But he battled back and is now SO spry and lively again.

We also had lots of trouble getting him to eat. At vet's direction, I tried jars of baby food. (Used Gerber ham and beef alternately, no onion powder in ingredients.) Diluted with a little hot water and he lapped it up. To get him interested, we put some on his nose -- forces him to lick it off. Little by little, he started to eat again.

Good luck. Hope that Simon's road to recovery continues. Thoughts and prayers.

TatumsMom · 05-30-2007, 09:10 AM

Awww, he's precious! I do understand because our toy poodle, Dax, had a stroke in the end and that's when we finally had to make that horrible decision. We had been prepared for the end for about a year but he kept fighting. After his stroke, we went straight to the vet who confirmed that he was ready. That's amazing that your cat has managed to come back from the stroke. I think you have to do what you feel is right but as long as he doesn't seem to be suffering, then just love him all you can and enjoy your time with him.
