Thank yous and details
Thursday, October 27th, 2005 04:47 pmThanks to everyone for the good thoughts. They worked.
We took Max! to the vet's this afternoon fully believing that we would be Max!less forevermore. This was -- blessedly -- not the case. The vet's best guess is that Max! has had a small stroke, which accounts for the sudden sensory mix-ups, balance issues, and a slight tendency to list to the left (which, in this house, is about what you'd expect anyway). Despite the hyperactive thyroid, he hasn't lost any more weight, which is seen as a Very Good Sign, and the vet points out that, typically with cats who have had strokes, they'll make an accommodation with the balance issues. So, we should be seeing some improvement there.
So, we're back, we're relieved, and vibrating somewhat.
Max! of course, is asleep.
