Re: Bramble is worse
Hi, I hope Bramble is feeling somewhat better today. I don't know if you posted or someone else about your kitty having a hot head and ears with a normal rectal temp..I have a 14 yr old that does this all the time..It is his blood pressure...When it is elevated, his ears are red and his head is really hot...with a normal temp..You might ask about that.. Also, my Bandy is on oxazepam .1ml transdermal twice daily for an appetite stimulant.. Hope this is of some help.. We will keep you and Bramble in our prayers..

Re: Bramble is worse
I'm sorry to hear that Bramble is taking a dive for the worse. He's been SUCH a fighter through everything, truly an inspiration to me, probably to us all! Hopefully he will pull through in typical Bramble form, I'll send him lots of positive energy over the weekend!

Re: Bramble is worse
Oh Michelle, I hope somehow you are wrong and Bramble's just especially down today. Go ahead and cry, you certainly have cause. If your intuition is right and Bramble is too tired to keep fighting... I so hope that's not the case. You've done so much more than most would have to bring him back to health. I love that picture you sent of the two of you, it really says it all. I've thought of it several times yesterday and today and it's always brought a smile to my face, there's so much love between the two of you. Keep your heart and intuition open to that amazing boy of yours, you'll know what to do, even if you are drowning in a sea of tears. Bramble understands. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
