Re: Got an appointment with the specialist


I have just got back from my visit to the specialist. Below is the news at the moment although they have both been left their for further test and examinations.

Tilly
It is very likely that she is a carrier for the Feline Herpes Virus. If this is the case then there is no medicine that can help or cure her. I am to just carry on with the ab if she develops a secondary infection but she is always going to sneeze. I have left her there as they are going to x-ray her head and throat to check for any other problems, take some swabs to see if they can find the virus and put a camera up her nose ad the back of her throat to check for other nasal problem. It is unlikely anything will be found though. But I want to make sure she hasn't got anything else making her ill.

Buster
Buster is a bit more of a medical puzzle, as although he shows some signs of ashma (sp) other signs contradict that diagnosis so the vets are going to take x-rays of his throat and lungs nd put a camera into his lungs to check they are OK they are also going to run some swabs for various problems. So I don' know what is wrong with him yet but he has been left with the specialist too.


I had fun driving them up there as it is about a 3 hr trip and half weay round teh M25 Tilly nearly gave me a heart attack as she styarted to open muthb pant like dogs do when they are too hot. But I had the windows open so she wasn't over heating I think it was just stress but she was OK when we got there and we weere put in a consulting room to wait as She might be contageous to other cats and she calmed down alot in there and nealry fell alseep.

Anway thats is all the news I have right now. I will possibler have more news on firday when I might be allowed to collect them again.

Sally

The specialist sounded very thorough Sally, I hope you will get some results at long last.

I hope you will be able to bring them both back home on Friday....

I hope they come back soon as it is very strange having a cat free home as it is usually one away at a time not both.
I have to say I am very impressed by the people at this specialist vets they were very nice

The specialists sound really good - like they are on the ball and very determined to get to the bottom of the problems.

I hope that you're able to get them back this week, Sally.

Keep us posted on what the other tests and x-rays show.
