Update on Tigs


Hi All

Tigs started to go downhill again this week and so I took him back to the vets yesterday.

He lost his appetite again and also his breathing appeared to be quite laboured.

My vet is WONDERFUL and asked me to take Tigs in first thing this morning so that he could do a chest x-ray to see what was going on in there. The bad news is that he now has pneumonia.

The vet is giving him intravenous fluids, together with antiobotics and was pleased when Tigs' appetite appeared to pick up. He's keeping him in overnight to keep an eye on my old boy, my bestest mate! He's promised to phone me tonight if there's any change for the worst and will phone me in the morning in any case.

I know things aren't looking good for Tigs and I am preparing myself for the worst.

In the meantime here are some recent photos I took of my gorgeous, handsome chap:

Re: Update on Tigs


What an utterly gorgeous cat.
I hope everything turns out for the best but I disagree (in the nicest possible way ) with your sentence "I am preparing myself for the worst" As the worst would be to let him carry on when you know his time has come. Its the last and most loving gesture you will ever do for him. So take your courage in your hands and if the time is right it is right.

But hopefully that time is a way off and he will be back to his old self soon.

Take care an best wishes to Tigs. Karen
