Cat Brain Swelling
Discussion
Our rescue cat, Tigger was set upon by dogs, and has been rushed to the vets.
He was immediately put in for x-rays and given painkillers.
He has been diagnosed with brain swelling.
I'm not there, as I don't live with my mother any more (My mum rang me..) but what are the chances of him surviving?
Cheers.

sorry to hear that, never a good thing to happen, even worse when you think it was a dog owned by the same person as the cat.
but on a different note.........as youve moved out,,, does that mean that your mum will be no longer working on your bike
Yeah, it's horrible. but on a different note.........as youve moved out,,, does that mean that your mum will be no longer working on your bike
I moved out 4 years ago
Here is a picture of him -
Gonna miss the little st, scratching at my feet if I didn't feed him.

Sorry to hear that.
Did you see which dogs?
I don't live there, my mum has been telling me.Did you see which dogs?
But she won't tell me, I have a suspicion that it was our patterdales as there is no one else around for miles.
Unless it was a rambler with a dog..
Hmmmm.

So you suspect it was one of your dogs and yet two more potential victims are being acquired in January?
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.
The cat lived upstairs (He chose to when they moved into the house) and the dogs downstairs.
There is a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs and a door at the top, the only way the dogs could have got up stairs, is if someone left the gate and door open, but when that happened before the dogs ignored the cat. Something must of happened (Feel like inspector clueso here)

To be fair, it's a reasonable concern. I'd it was your family dog that did it, there is a high chance of a repeat of this awful event in the future (esp given his breed) and should be very carefully considered. Doors will get left open and dogs become repeat offenders, they are rarely ever one offs once it happens once.
Yeah I know what you mean. They've got a while to find out what happens yet.

Very sorry to hear about your kitty OP
I have a patterdale/JRT that loves my friend's cat (snow bengal called marvin). They chase each other, play, roll around just like two dogs do.
Funnily enough all my staffs I've had have got on with the cat over the years, must of been a shock for him to have dogs all of a sudden hate them. I have a patterdale/JRT that loves my friend's cat (snow bengal called marvin). They chase each other, play, roll around just like two dogs do.
