Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007A Couple Purrand Prayers Request Please
Ok my friends I have a couple request for some prayers and purrs First I have a friend that had a major car accident a couple weeks ago He survived with head trauma. He was able to go home a few days later and was doing well. Well tonight he went back to the hospital with a major heart attack. He is in critical condition. This is a major blow to all of them for his wife is a cancer patient with a rare condition. She is fighting but she is fighting a losing battle. She is not doing well. Their kids just went off to college a few months back. So any purrs and prayers you can spare will be appreciated more than words can say. Also I took Phantom for his re examination. It is hyperthyroidism. He will be on pills for the rest of his life. He has a bit of diminished vision not much. So some purrs that his blood work shows the medication is working would be appreciated also. Thank you my friends > Ok my friends I have a couple request for some prayers and purrs > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Thank you my friends Purrs and prayers for your friend and his family, and for Phantom and you.

Could his car accident have been caused by an earlier heart attack (a more minor one, maybe, but still causing him to black out)? Purrs for his whole family! > Also I took Phantom for his re examination. It is hyperthyroidism. He > will be on pills for the rest of his life. He has a bit of diminished > vision not much.

I wonder if he is reacting to flame retardants in your furniture, carpets, etc? I read recently (might've been posted here, actually) that there has been an epidemic of hyperthyroidism in cats because of this. Maybe you should try to find him a cat bed that doesn't have any of those chemicals in it?

I believe someone else caused the accident but not sure. I did not push the issue he still is critcal today > Purrs for his whole family! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Joyce I posted about this awhile ago a post entitled "Are we killing our cats" it is very scary no cat bed and there is no carpet professional tile the furniture every piece I have looked at has the chemical in it thanks to you and everyone else >> "Matthew" <Iamacatslave@proudtoserve.com> wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > I believe someone else caused the accident but not sure. I did not push the > issue he still is critcal today The heart attack may well have been triggered by a clot caused by the car accident, which formed somewhere else in his body and then floated through the bloodstream until it got caught in a heart artery. Strokes are sometimes caused this way as well. I will pray for his health and his wife's health.  SignatureJohn F.

Well ... every creature has to die. DH and I are lucky in that we know that Oscar's time is coming up, so we can spoil her rotten and really make her last days on earth full of love. In any case, she's doing well right now. I woke up this morning to find her asleep, purring, next to me in bed.

You got it, Matthew. That has to be such a depressing and frightening setback for everyone. Healing purrs (both physically and emotionally) being sent for all. > Also I took Phantom for his re examination. It is hyperthyroidism. He will > be on pills for the rest of his life.

Purrs that the meds work right away, and that it is not a trauma for either you or him, and that you have many happy years left together.

Phantom is actually very easy to do. He has been the best cat to ever go to the vet. When I took him this time I strap the cage in and open the door to give any of the cats lovin' to keep them calm. He came out and curled up against me and enjoyed the ride to and from. he did want to get down by my feet like he does at home but that was a big NO NO This has been the strangest pack I have been ever owned by. I got a diabetic epileptic( which is both under control) furball named Rumble. Spirit a nervous cat that's want a be Boston terrier that was poisoned during the food recall almost lost him. Got a prodactyl orange ball of attitude named princess. Now I got a hyperthyroid semi blind awry old man. I won't go any further with the details too many off them. Now would I changed any of their personality or quirks NOT A CHANCE. But come on to the powers that watch over us wasn't the divorce enough. ;-) So very sorry to hear about your friend and his family -- major purrs for him to recover well and quickly! Also, purrs for good regulation of Phantom's hyperthyroidism!

Frank and Nikki were both on thyroid meds the last 3-4-5 years of their lives. Neither one died of hyperthyroidism. Once you get into the routine, it will be fine. I used to crush the pills and mix them into something nice, like sour cream or sardines. Purrs for your friend. -- Marina Thanks Marina I know the problem won't kill him when it is treated it is the other factors that scare me such as blindness he has a slight loss of vision >> Also I took Phantom for his re examination.

I know few vets even have the equipment to check it. I don't know if you were here when Krista's Mike was diagnosed with high BP and his retinas almost detached before he was put on BP meds. Hyperthyroidism can cause high BP. Frank's vet first suspected hyperthyroidism when his pulse was way too fast. I didn't want to scare you, but this might be something to look into. SignatureMarina >> Thanks Marina >> I know the problem won't kill him when it is treated it is the other [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I didn't want to scare you, but this might be something to look into. Already had that done. No retina detachment that can be seen the loss of vision is peripheral. My vet thinks the heart murmur is caused by the thyroid problem only time will tell once we get him regulated > Ok my friends I have a couple request for some prayers and purrs > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Thank you my friends Very late responding, but we'll send purrs and prayers for your friends, and purrs that Phantom's blood work comes back with good news. Sam >> Ok my friends I have a couple request for some prayers and purrs >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Sam Thanks Sam It did he gets pilled once a day now instead of 1/2 a pill twice a day his thyroid level was 1.2 it was 6.9 when it was first tested. The heart murmur is disappearing. He does have some peripheral loss I also got good news about my friend he is off the respirator, sitting up in bed, talking to people and eating
