Like a cat looking out a window!

Tuxie can see!!!!! I just spent an hour loving him up, and the doc didn't know--she said he was still blind and didn't have a good prognosis on it when I spoke to her on the phone an hour earlier, but when I got there and got him in the visiting room, his pupils narrowed when he faced the window and he went to sit by the floor length window and his head moved with the cars going by and he clearly watched a man walking toward the clinic, and he looked me in the eyes several times, and negotiated walking by narrow chair legs like a pro. So if he can't see perfectly, he can well enough for HouseCat Purposes. Thank goodness!

I'm so relieved. He's definitely doing better, but I am leaving him the night because we have to see how his blood sugars do before I can bring him home and try to keep him seizure-free. Thank you for all the awesome support through another whopper of a trial. I love you all. *hugs*

Lots of love for Tuxie and happy for good signs.

Thank you, bb!

So glad Tuxie Is doing better.

Thank you, bb! I hope you are getting through treatment and doing better.

Heck yeah!

The happy turtle agrees! Now if we can get his blood sugars balanced . . .

I just saw this so I wanted to say that I'm so relieved Tuxie is doing better and so sorry that you and he had to go through what you did. -hugs-

Thank you, hon. I'm still waiting to hear how his blood sugars are looking before I can bring him home. He wasn't eating as well today. He may be going into remission due to my being able to taper off the dry food available (more carbs) because I found a wet food Moo will tolerate, which would be wonderful long term, if we can get him through this very dangerous transition. *hugs*
