How sad. I'm really sorry to hear about what you and Casey are going through. I've owned and loved cats for many years, so I can truly empathize with what you're likely feeling.
Hard to know if any of the meds (or the chemicals in the dewormer) kicked off an underlying problem, or caused one. Seems the older my cats are, the more sensitive they are to chemicals. Just like people, eh?
At this point, it sounds as though the most important issue is that Casey get a lot of supportive care, which you're providing. I vote that you take good care of yourself, and that you work on spoiling Casey rotten. Love can heal too, yes?
Prayers for all of you. And please keep us posted. Thanks.
715pm cst
The vet said that Casey should do nothing but rest today, and around 7pm get her up and about. I have checked in on her every 30 mins and she changes positions (switching from right side to left and vice versa) and also moves 4-6 feet.
I got her up from under the bed and took her into her food. Sadly, as yesterday and today, she just looked at it and decided to lay down, too exhausted to even look at her food (science diet) and water.
I then put her in the litter box where she also collapsed, but I think she smelled the litter box and TRIED to upright herself. I helped her out and she had a good urination.
Then I took her downstairs to her favorite chair(s) and currently, have had her next to me on the couch while we both watch Fox News.
I couldnt believe what I just heard 5 mins ago and thought I would come up and tell you that even though she is exhausted and almost paralyzed with non-movement, she is actually PURRING....
I called my mom, and she told me that sometimes when cats are in pain they purr, which I HOPE is NOT the case. Anyways, her eyes are a little brighter laying next to me on the couch and she has a gentle, light purr going on.
Going back downstairs to give TLC. Will force feed nutri-cal and hydrate in an hour or so.
Will post soon
Thanks for the prayers, I think they are working! (dont they always though?)
