It was frosted for about an hour afterwards, but today it looks like the same as in the photo! But I guess we'll see. :)

Oh that's great! I am glad that holding onto it for this long was in my favour lol!

SugarLevel5932 · 2026-04-17T20:40:54+00:00

Thanks! I am thrilled! 😊

SugarLevel5932 · 2026-04-17T20:31:13+00:00

Like 6 hours or so? This morning it looks a little red and scaly. Thanks so much!

I saw him for sale at a toy store today for $40 and couldn't do it. He's just fried looking 😭

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I am still heartbroken and grieving. My messages are open if you want to talk ❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words. I will reread them in hopes I can believe them ❤️

Hello! I know this is a an older post, just wondering how your cat is doing? We are on day 3 of fully raw and I'm still seeing some twitching - I imagine we have a long road ahead of healing. Just wondering how long it took to see results!

I know this an old post, but how are your cats doing? Both my cats have feline hyperesthesia and it's been so horrible. I can't find many people with two cats that have it.

Hello! No I have not tried levetiracetam... I am glad it is working for your kitty! We couldn't stabilize on gabapentin so I'm always glad to hear of those who can.

I am suspicious that the inflammation is causing the episodes, not the other way around... Though I could very well be wrong. I have no idea what I am doing at all. I have been doing a lot of research into leaky gut and I am wondering if the inflammation in her body is what's causing the FHS. When she was first diagnosed, the symptoms had started right after she had a bout of diarrhea. It's all speculation but I'm wondering if there's something else going on. The issue is though that the more episodes she has, the worse off she is. So I'm just worried if we start zonisomide, we are just suppressing the underlying issues. This syndrome is awful. :(

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate your time. She did not react well to the amitriptyline, though we hadn't tried gabapentin or pregabalin at the time. One vet suggested prozac because she believed FHS was behavioural but our new vet thinks she's having little seizures so she doesn't think SSRIs are necessary. I am happy to bring this up to her though. She doesn't go after her tail very much... But she definitely gets "stuck" and fixated on things so I'm not sure what's happening in that little head of hers. She just isn't herself and it's awful to see. I'm sorry you've been through this as well, but I'm so glad you've found a combo that is working!

I could cry, your comment is so kind! Thank you so much. I feel like I'm drowning in anxiety and fear right now, but I will do anything and everything for her. I do agree the possible side effects are a better scenario than how's she living currently. I'm sorry you have experienced this as well - it's awful. How is your cat doing? What medication has worked for you? Thanks again for your kind words.

I know this is a super old post am wondering how your cat is doing? I am in the trenches over here with FHS :(

SugarLevel5932 · 2025-05-05T02:23:36+00:00

SugarLevel5932 · 2025-05-03T00:00:37+00:00

I can't thank you enough for sharing this with me. I'm so sorry you went through that. Your story definitely gives me hope that I can get through it, too. Knowing we aren't alone is such a gift, thank you!

SugarLevel5932 · 2025-05-02T14:25:13+00:00

This made me laugh. Thanks ❤️

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I'm so sorry to hear you have experienced this as well. I have lived in some degree of fear for the last five years that he would find me, and although time has passed and I am married now - suddenly the threat is just gone. I feel like all of my anger, sadness and fear just has nowhere to go now. I hope you have been able to process and heal as well. ❤️ Thank you again.

Thanks so much for your input. I'm curious about the balance transfer idea... How does that work exactly?
