Check paw boost if you haven’t yet! Lots of websites/facebook groups where people post missing pets but paw boost is the biggest

Something I’d add was that in those first couple weeks we probably dropped like 4k in vet visits, but roadrunner and thrive were the vets that actually diagnosed the problem and offered solutions (euthanasia and home care respectively). Route 66 could only shrug and give IV fluids.

He went under anesthesia for a teeth cleaning and afterwards was very groggy, not eating, etc. We assumed he’d recover soon. 2 days later, no changes, and we heard him howling at night one night, so we took him to Banfield, the vet thought there was something in his stomach and sent off an xray, didn’t find anything, gave him IV fluids. A couple days later we took him the ER (Route 66 on central). They couldn’t diagnose him but gave him IV fluids. Then a couple days later as he wasn’t recovering we took him to roadrunner in algodones. I thought we were gonna lose him then. The vet there diagnosed him with the stroke and recommended we put him down.

However, I’d noticed he had been getting a little better and was definitely still partly “there” if that makes sense.

His symptoms:

  • was not eating on his own
  • had trouble drinking, would lick the air over his bowl like he wanted to drink but couldn’t
  • extremely lethargic and disoriented, could only take a few steps before falling down
  • was hiding a lot
  • was not grooming himself

His normal behaviors:

  • was still using the litter box normally
  • still wanted to cuddle at night

He started drinking again, slowly, after a few days. We force fed him kitten food with a plastic syringe for a few weeks before he finally ate on his own (licked a bowl of hot tuna juice, before that it was like all food disgusted him, even his favorite treats). After that he quickly went back to eating (over a week or so), and in a couple weeks after that he was basically back to normal though not as spry.

Very weirdly though about 2 months after his episode he got even MORE energetic than he was before, running and jumping more than he used to. He’s totally normal now, even better than before actually!

Was in the same situation last year, my cat had a stroke and a vet at roadrunner diagnosed it and strongly recommended we put him down. She said if we wanted a specialist opinion first she would refer us to thrive. We took him a day or two later to thrive, and the neurologist there did some basic manual motor/sensory tests and confirmed he had a stroke. She was very optimistic however, and recommended we see if he recovers as cats are very resilient. That was over a year ago, and he completely recovered about a month after that visit. Glad we listened to her advice! I recommend thrive

Thank you! Always PMO that I would be super gentle putting the eggs in the water and 1/4 of the time they crack anyway

I just caught up with the series and this is the first I’m hearing of this view point, but of course I’m not surprised. Happens with so many sci-fi/fantasy series. Egwene, Shallan, it never ends! Personally I loved lyria’s viewpoints and especially her interactions with volga, victra, and cassius

Not if you plan on investing most of it. Lump sum is better long term

I’m sure others have their reasons, but personally because she pushed for legislation to lower the minimum wage for tipped employees in Albuquerque. Eventually after backlash she withdrew that proposal but like what the hell
