Re: I'm getting so afraid for Merlin


Just caught up on all the lovely warming comments from you guys and gals. Thanks so much I really appreciate all your thoughts.

Thought you would like a follow up to Saturday's post. It was amazing - much later that evening just before we were going to get ready for bed, Merlin "came round" from his meds and was walking about looking like a young cat - no stiffness in his hind legs - upright and alert looking for anything as if he was just willing something to move so he could pounce on it! I know it was just the drugs he had been given but it was lovely to watch and made me realise that he had once been a much more active cat.

Of course now he has gone back to his "old self" and is comfortable once again - sleeping a lot, alert when awake, eating and drinking well and toileting OK too. He still jumps up on our bed in the morning to remind us to get up and is coming to join us again when the nights are particularly cold. I'm making sure he has his Snugglesafe at night so he can cuddle up to that if he needs to.

So, again I am saying the time is not yet. It's an awful waiting game I feel we are playing but when he's bounced back from "an episode" how can I ask the vet to pts? I did speak to the vet (not our usual branch though) and she made sympathetic noises - but I know that if he's not distressed or in pain, I couldn't possibly allow it to be done.

Please just keep sending "comfort vibes" to us both! Thanks so much.

Angie XXXX

Re: I'm getting so afraid for Merlin


Angie that's wonderful news that the meds are helping Merlin........ his Snugglesafe will be helping a lot too.

Keeping fingers crossed here that the meds will help to keep him free of pain and help him through the winter... Gentle cuddles to the great Merlin..
