Thank you, everyone, for all the visits, support, prayers, and vines. Trix does seem like she has recovered from Tuesday's "event", which I am fairly certain was a small stroke. Her walking is back to normal; other other behaviors (eating, LB habits, social interactions) weren't affected by the "event", and so they are still good...although for a little added fun she did decide to barf up last night's evening meds. "Fortunately" it was soon enough after I pilled her (they were gross and squishy but 100% intact) that I was actually able to re-dose them. I really did not want her going all night without her cerenia and Pepcid. Thankfully the second round stayed down, as did her Zeniquin which she got 2 hours later.
This event really does remind me of what happened last summer, although last summer's event was much more dramatic in that she had fallen off the bed and was in more of a seizure mode with being contorted and fast, open-mouthed breathing. Just like Tuesday, she was starting to recover by the time we got her in the carrier, and she had a funny walk for about a day afterwards.
@Dyana - I have been to Red Bank but it has been a very long time - back in 2002 when our first kitty, Mr Kitty, was being treated for lymphoma. Back then, Red Bank was the only specialty hospital around here. Now we've got Northstar in Robbinsville (which is where we've been going lately), as well as VSEC in Langhorne, both of which are much closer for us. It's great that we have so many options nowadays!
I'm going to do my best to have what I consider to be a "normal" day for myself - what I wish my life would be like on a regular basis.....clean bathrooms (yes, compared to what I've been living lately, I'd much rather spend my time cleaning bathrooms!), run a few errands, spend some time in the studio....prayers and fingers crossed.
Prayers to all....thank you again.
