I second what Kell has to say about Mrs.D. Mrs.D, I've known you a LONG time, and you ROCK. You don't hesitate to give of yourself when you see someone in need.

Cheri

I hope Moonshadow continues to improve, and I hope your son will be able to gather a good perspective on this event. I suspect Shadow is a blessing in disguise - and will become a real treasure in your family.

Praise the Lord and all the positives things that YOU are making out a horrible situation. I hope that Shadow continues to improve and your son can relax and get rid of his anxiety. He sounds like such a loving and compassionate young man. You should be very proud of him. Those are wonderful qualities.
My prayers will stay with you and your family,
hugs to all of you,
Judy

Hi Chemar,

Sounds like you have a special job for a special little kitten! I'm praying for good to come out of all this! Sorry you're going through it!

Cheri,

I really am so sorry you are going through all this. You know, we have our new pup, and the breeder warned us that Wheaten Terriers have anesthesia sensitivity. She told us what NOT to use, but I can't find the info she gave me at the moment. I did google this up, in regard to Wheatens:

Quote:
Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are very sensitive to certain anesthetics, particularly those with a barbiturate base. In this regard they are very much like sight hounds. Any procedure requiring an anesthetic should be discussed with the vet to make sure he/she understands this sensitivity. The recommended protocol is the following:
Preoperative tranquilizing with Acepromazine or Atropine. (Some Veterinarians may not choose to use Acepromazine)
Induction with a combination of Ketamine and Diazepam (Valium) administrated intravenously.
Maintenance of anesthesia with Isofluorane and Oxygen.

But I will call the breeder back to be sure of what she recommended as I can't find it in any of the literature she gave us. She must have just told us. She seemed very well researched and works with a vet in Pennsylvania who studies the breed and its hereditary problems.

She also suggested that he not be neutered until 9 months of age. My sister has a good friend who is a vet, who also said 9 months...despite the fact that the Humane Society recommends 6 months. My own vet routinely does it at 6 months, but we plan to delay, especially now.

Our breeder also recommend against booster vaccines after the first year, and recommended the one year rabies shots rather than the 3 year. She also suggested Interceptor rather than Heartguard because Heartguard may cause aggressiveness in some dogs. Vets just love these recommendations coming from breeders .

SO... now I have to approach our vet (who we know very well because he was our neighbor for several years) with all this. He already said "sometimes breeder's get silly ideas"...arghhh.. in regard to the heartworm medication, but I think he will be open if I approach him with it seriously.

Your sad experience has given me the resolve to follow through on all this the way I should...rather than just go with the flow. The uphill battle never seems to end with questioning the norm for procedures, vaccinations, etc. First out children, then our pets .

I am so happy to hear that Shadow is doing better, and hope the trend continues, and that he may even regain his vision. I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Cara

I have not had my cats vaccinated in years. My late kitty Taz, after vaccination swelled up so large and I'm not kidding on this, I thought he was going to pop. It was the scariest thing I've ever seen. The vet said...it happens. We get the pup vaccinated only because he is outside sometimes and goes to the dog park. I only vaccinate what is needed for his license.

Please update us on Shadow's progress! I'll keep praying.

I haven't had my cats vaccinated either in a long time. They are strictly inside cats and I don't have any other animals so I am not too concerned. The only thing I wished I DID NOT do was have their claws taking off. At the time I didn't know how they did it but now, knowing what I know, I would not have done that to my poor kittys.

Just wanted to give an update for those who have been so caring and supportive here..........

MooonShadow is doing great. He and Twilight are back to wrestling and playing all kinds of cute games, and apart from a very slight unsteadiness that is still evident in his walk and in his jumping, it would be hard to spot that he had just been thru a crisis that had him fighting for life! There have been no tremors or seizures again either.

and

Kathy.........it is with great joy that I can tell you that today I was playing with them and began to pull the piece of braided cord that they love to chase around the house behind me....well, since Shadow's loss of sight, only Twi has chased it but....today.....I was being followed by a MoonShadow!!

I am in no doubt that he is able to see! Thank you Lord!!!!

I dont know how clear or complete his vision is, but I noticed yesterday that he was following things visually (rather than just hearing and sensory), and after testing him today I am convinced that our prayers have been answered and there is definitely restored sight. He just climbed up to my desk and then onto the wooden perch I have for them on the desk, where they can look out onto the stream and woods and he began to make his "I see the ducks" noises!!!

My son is over the moon with joy too.

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much to all who have prayed for our lil kitty!
