I aim to keep him on bupe for around three days, as this calms the response and breaks the pain cycle...

He had a small attack today, I gave him buprenorphine... It is most likely related to the procedure he had recently, as if they do anything in the mouth this may be triggering for the nerves...He was under a general anaesthetic...

This happened some time ago...She then explained to me that it is natural for a cat to shed some fur... This was also at the time of me being really confused with the diagnosis, assessment and treatment...

The only way to leave a bad review for them is via Google. I have already set up a different account, so they and people around will not recognise my name. This is a very small community and I am "an outsider", so it would be better if they don't know me. I read today about something the vet did...

Today

He will not take any capsules... The powder was added to lick-a-licks, different ones, tablet pouches, chicken pate, salmon pate... As usually, he takes something for 2-3 weeks, and then he KNOWS!!!

Yes, I have him this recently and it helped. The herbs would have done preventative action...

I tried with many different lickable treats, also tablet pouches, pates, other treats... Rysiek always knows after around two weeks and refuses full stop...he may eat a treat around a tablet and spit it out! When he was on other meds, in order to get them consistently I had to squirt them to his...

It was a difficult day, especially caging him and later waiting for the vets. I am pleased I had done it, as I would have been extremely worried. The new vet practice is really good... I brought him back home in a good shape. He was just his normal self, a little sedated, but enjoyed going out...

As Rysiek suffers from trigeminal neuralgia and traumatic symptoms Lions Mane was recommended as it has relaxing properties and impacts on the nerves. The way it works is a bit complicated to me. He was ok on this, really relaxed, much happier and with no attacks...one day he just refused...He...

All good. No mouth ulcerations 😸, a bit of tartar, but not bad...blood test all right, a bit increased creatinine but other results ok... His problem with eating may have been related to some level of orofacial pain... I feel so good that I've moved him to a different vet practice, completely...

I wonder if any of you have any experience with Lions Mane? It has been recommended to us for trigeminal neuralgia by the Herbal Vets. I am a bit unsure, as it worked at the start, but he seemed to have some digestive track discomfort... I am unsure if this was related to Lions Mane... Also, if...

He woke me up hungry today morning! And then I caught him to the cage! I feel almost cruel... Yesterday, after being given buprenorphine twice he was back to his normal self. Ate almost two sachets of food + a bit of cooked salmon... It is a mystery... They will check his blood anyway, as it...

The way he eats, it is licking the gravy or jelly...avoiding bigger bits...but also eats some treats that are semi-hard... This is a mystery ... I fed him for his last meal under the bed, as this is where he places himself for the night .. He appears a bit traumatised, but perhaps in the pain...
