Jimmy Whippet is really poorly :(

[bexVN]

Today we are shortly heading off for a referral to a neuroloy vet with a high possibility of Jimmy having an MRI. Don't think I've ever felt quite so much dread before and Fitz my cat has done his bes on thst score over the years!

My stomach is churning, my hands are shaking and I have been on the verge of tears since yest (well verge is not quite true I broke down in front of everyone at work!)

My dear, sweet, loving most wonderful Jimmy is a poorly boy and my boss is really concerned. She has been honest and has said she is worried that he ma have a brain tumour. I have never hoped so hard that she be completely wrong.

This is such a shock that I haven't had time to take it all on board (he was seen yest, appt today) I don't know why I'm posting this but I hope we're wrong (there is a chance of eg meningitis or a bleed on the brain) and I hope I can soon be smiling again because right now I don't feel I have a whole lot to smile about





Jimmy chillin' a few short months ago

Bex,
Thinking of you both and crossing fingers, toes and everything else.

[Karyn]

Oh Bex! I got a lump in my throat just reading this


I'm hoping as hard as you...

Fingers and paws crossed for Jimmy. I really, really hope your boss is wrong.

Sorry to hear that Bex, its horrible.
Not that you need referral advice but if it is a brain tumour I can't recommend Laurent Garosi at Davies in Higham Gobian highly enough.

[Digger]

I don't enjoy these threads. Best of Luck Bex and to Jimmy Whippet.

[bexVN]

Thank you all for your words, still waiting on news, long day. DKL thank you for the info. Will keep it in mind.

Best wishes

No brain tumour seen, which I am so relieved to be able to say but we are not out of the woods yet. The truth is they don't know what is wrong. They are going to get a top Neuro vet to look at the images asap.

I am for now just relieved that he is back home albeit very groggy and even more wobbly than before.

Still a very worried Mum (and Dad and family and friends!) one day at a time for now

[ali_kat]

Oh Bex!! I've on,y just sen this today

Pleased nothing was found, but understand how worried you are, all paws crossed for you & Jimmy

Good news on that front... I hope they find the reason. Glad he's home with you x

Fingers/paws still crossed x

[Piglet]

Only just seen this Bex. I know how awful this feels, they do put us through it don't they?

I guess it's good news that they can't see a brain tumour but equally worrying that there is nothing obvious.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you and Jimmy xxx

So sorry to read about poor Jimmy , thinking of you all.

[bexVN]

Jimmy enjoyed the snow today

He didn't want to be out long (couple mins) but he did have a bit of a run around, though sadly fell over twice due to his ataxia

I hope we get some answers because he's in a sad place right now re: long term quality of life.
Though maybe he'll get better on his own,



Tried to rotate the pic, failed miserably!
