Re: My Tango is very sick


Well Tango has been doing great since the last update but then his antibiotics finished on Saturday and by Monday he was being sick again, and generally looking sorry for himself, so we're right back to where we started. So phoned the vet and spoke to him yesterday evening and gave Tango another Clavaseptin pill that was left over from when one of the other cats was ill, got Tango booked in for more tests this morning. The new ultrasound scan showed the liver is now all looking the same (as opposed to last time when it was uneven and had lumps in/on it) but we still don't know whats causing this illness, we could still have the liver biopsy and open him up to have a look and see what the liver looks like but it may not show whats wrong and any operation in an older cat carries risks so we want to avoid it if possible. The vet says its an unusual case, we asked about possible poisoning and have ruled that out because he doesn't show any classic signs, which is good. So now hes back on antibiotics for a month, see how he goes and then back for more tests the week before Christmas, fingers crossed that will be the last visit - I also have to take Bones back around then for his kidney tests, Christmas funds are just about gone already - oh well never mind ! Tango has perked up since yesterday since his antibiotics have kicked in, its a relief! I hate seeing him unhappy!

Re: My Tango is very sick


How disappointing after the previous improvement. Hope it's only a temporary setback and he gets properly better now.

Re: My Tango is very sick


I had a feeling it wasn't the end of it, I think all this started will a tummy upset back in July, which 3 of my cats came down with, it was actually when I first signed up to catsey, Tango got it worst of all so it may have been down to that. When hes on the antibiotics he is 100% happy and appears very healthy, he just goes downhill so fast when they stop.

Re: My Tango is very sick



You, Fran and Alex could almost start a whole new section on cats with poorly tummies.
Hope they all get better soon

Re: My Tango is very sick


I do hope they can figure out what is wrong with him, I know there are some things that an extra long course of antibiotics sort out though.
