Samssimonsays: Blazing Acres journal

I had trapped a feral mama kitty and 6 kittens, they were about 4 weeks old. The mama died a few days later and I suspected distemper and the vet confirmed it. He told me to euthanize the kittens as they would all get sick and die. Well, I didn't. They did get sick but I found this stuff and I only lost one kitten when it got pneumonia. It was 2 in the morning and I couldn't afford the emergency clinic; she died very quickly. The rest made it through, very long hours of nursing but one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I took three days off from work to save those kittens. That was 10 years ago and I still have one of them, Jack. The others all went to really good homes too.

This made a believer out of me regarding alternative medicines. I still use western medicine for most everything, but sometimes there are other ways.

Thank you so much! We are not done trying yet.... Not sure how much more we can afford to keep going but we are not done trying yet.

We are still holding our breath and uneasy about it, but no seizures since Friday night. We have been kenneling him in the living room with a movie playing and it seems to be working? Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe it is actually working. Either way, he has not had anymore. We have a call into another vet for a second opinion and will go from there. He has been basically stoned out of his poor mind with the Gabapenton added to his meds.... But it gives us some good laughs anyways.

He is sitting with his chest facing away from me and his head flipped back like this. He is oddly flexible for how big and clumsy he is.

And here, he is standing and laying at the same time....

I'm sure you have scoured the internet for answers for Rumely but this was interesting, although you may have already read it.

Mae is getting DARK

She is! So is Olive! They are half sisters so I wonder if that is just genetics? Olive got unrecognizable this summer in her light coloring and now she is turning super dark like May but not AS dark and May is getting darker! She was nearly black when I saw her the first time she was so dark brown and she lightened up a lot, now she is getting super dark again?

Thank you @babsbag I am "kind of" in love Even if they boil my blood occasionally ok, ok, ok. More than occasionally, but I do still love them LOL

I don't believe I saw this one but I found a holistic vety I'm going to give a call to and a specialist to consult over a phone call with as well. I will most definately be looking into this stuff. We've used melatonin in the past and benedryl seemed to help bring him out of Fridays seizures.... Maybe a coincidence! Maybe not but I know benedryl helps sadies seizures when she acts like she's going to have one.

We are all rootin' for Rumely. He has a huge adopted family out here.
