What's Wrong With Sir Victor ?-U/D 28th April Post 27

Really hope he perks up. I was going to ask whether you had stopped the NSAIDs with the kidney query. Maybe being a bit groggy is putting him off?

Possible I guess :?

He has been quite good this afternoon after one 'episode' at about mid-day :cry: It didn't last as long as yesterday's really bad one, but still its awful to see his abdomen disappear under his ribcage and him walking instead of hopping :cry:

Thing is as soon as the acute episode resolves Victor starts eating and behaving almost as normal :? I find it hard to understand how what is obviously a severe pain does not leave any residual tenderness :?


Roll on tomorrow, I just want to find out what's wrong with him :cry:
 
Sending loads of get well vibes for Victor :love::love: Hope it's somehting that can be sorted out and he gets better soon.
 
Sorry, I posted another thread in photos and forgot to update this one !! :oops:

Not wishing to tempt fate here but I cant quite believe what has happened......

Basically when Victor had that really protracted 'tucked-up' attack on Saturday he was started on Baytril, along with other things. He had another attack later that day ond one on Sunday at about midday. Since then.....................NOTHING, ZILCH, ZIPPO !! :? :shock:

I spoke with Gill (Vet who was to do the U/S) on Tuesday and she suggested we 'wait and see', especially given how badly Victor travels. C has seen some pics of Victor during an attack and has also examined him 3 times. She remains reasonably sure that it is not a urolith/kidney problem........

Neither C nor G can think of any possible diagnosis to account for the symptoms and the fact that they *appear* to have responded to Baytril.......... :?

In himself Victor is absolutely fine and busy stripping the garden of every last blade of grass........ :roll:

So 'wait and see' is what we will do. He will stay on Baytril for 10 days and I guess only time will tell as to whether further investigations will be needed.

A real mystery this one :?

Well if you are mysitified then its a mystery Jane.:?

Hopefully the attcks will stop thinking of him anyway
 
Glad to hear he is doing much better. Could it not have been just a transient thing, like a spasm, and the baytril doing and improvement in signs is just coincidental? You did give him quite a few drugs at once so its hard to know which were having a positive effect, if any? But i guess if its working then fair enough!
