Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Emergency purrs please
Nikki is in the hospital. I woke this morning to strange sounds, and sat up to see herhaving a fit beside the bed. She was twitching and growling. I rushed her to the vet school hospital, and they stabilised her, but her temperature is way to high and the vet said there might be some brain damage. I had to leave her there. They'll call me when they have any news. I'll let you know when I know more. I don't think she's coming back.  SignatureMarina > Nikki is in the hospital.

I don't remember the exact figures, but her temp did go down while I was there. At first it was 42. somthing, then 40 point something (Centigrade).

At first it was 42. somthing, then 40 point something > (Centigrade). I don't want to raise false hopes, but I've also seen partial and full recoveries from fever-related convulsive disorders in humans. 42 Celsius is in the brain damage range for humans, but since cats normally have a higher temperature, I don't know how to assess it. 40 shouldn't cause nerve damage. Something that is done in humans in situations like this, and I believe in cats, is to put them into an artificial coma with barbiturates, and leave them in it for 24-72 hours. There can be remarkable recoveries from this in people, especially children, who may actually heal some damage over time. Purrs again. Frantic purrs for Nikki (and Marina, Frank and Mere) coming from our three Tish >Nikki is in the hospital. I woke this morning to strange sounds, and sat >up to see herhaving a fit beside the bed.

Cats do have nine lives, so hopefully she has a spare one tucked away somewhere. Hug Mere, talk to Frank and we will all be purring and praying for all four of you. Jo > have any news.

(And it doesn't matter how long and happy the kitty life may have been - we're never really ready to say "goodbye", are we?) >Nikki is in the hospital.

I don't think she's >coming back. Mega purrs for you and Nikki. Cats have a higher temp than humans normally, but I don't know what the upper limit is. Still, a small body can cool off quicker; so maybe there won't be any permanent damage. We sincerely pray for her to recover. But what in the world caused the sudden high temp? Hugs, -- CATherine Oh Marina, I'm so sorry to read this. I've asked the whole clowder to send lots of purrs and doggy woofs for Nikki to be better soon. Please keep us informed on how the brave and mighty huntress is doing. Pam, Rob, and the Fayetteville Six + kittens and Speedy the d-thing > Nikki is in the hospital.
