john_lcfc Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 steven who exactly is that kicking the leicester player in your pic? 122422[/snapback] how can you not know!! alan shearer (wot a w*nker wot a w*nker) thats irrelavent anyway and i may get told off
Katy Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 Beamish is sitting on the table in our conservatory, eyeing up the robins nest (real one, not the 70's TV prog) in our garden and is on two types of medication, twice daily. He has got a tumour in his chest but the latest x-ray shows it to be slow growing so he will hopefully be around for quite a while. Since the illness he has been transformed from a cat that wanted fuss about three times a day for a couple of minutes to a limpet puss that is so friendly he is forever under my feet. The vets have closed down for a couple of weeks and bu$*ered off on a luxury holiday on the back of my bills being paid, almost as lucrative as being a plumber.Thanks again for everyone's concern, maybe the collective good wishes helped to pull him through 122423[/snapback] Very pleased to hear it
Matt Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 get well soon beamish.. how old is he sollihull?? 122427[/snapback] My old dog (Rottweiler) had a tumour in her stomach, the vet said he could operate and she could live for a few more months, but he said the age she was (13 I think) he didn't think i'd be right to operate but he said it was up to us, we decided the age she was, the pain she seemed to be in, we might as well have her put down. She shown no signs of the tumour thought, then one day we woke up she was just lying on the floor, not moving, just loads of water leaking out her mouth, she went downhill within days.
Ricey Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 Hope Beamish is ok. I had a cat that lived till she was 21, I'll be hapy to make it to that age
Steven Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 Glad to hear Beamish is ok. Yes it is that stinking two-faced hypocrite Shearer quite obviously kicking out at Lennon. <_<

Cat Burger Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 I had a kitten called Gizmo who didn't manage to pull through the same sort of illness, he got attacked by a fox and I remember even though it was 6 years ago how bad he was and how he had his fur missing for the operations. Eventually he was put down and he's buried in my garden. He was the cutest little thing in the world I miss him, he wasn't even one when he died Anyway his mum, pip is still with us she was only one when she had him the slag only one of her three has survived, the other two went to my aunts in Berkshire, 'Pugdog' later renamed 'Pugsy' was run over and 'Smudger' still survives but he is the illest little cat i've ever known. Pip^
Cat Burger Posted 12 June 2005 Posted 12 June 2005 Oh yeah and I want to know how Beamish is doing like everyone else!? *Edit - I've just noticed Solihulls last post was today = me being an idiot

Hopefully he/she won't leave to die on its own like one of mine did

Solihullfox Posted 17 June 2005 Author Posted 17 June 2005 Beamish had another embollism late last night. He's in the hospital unit and need to ring after 8.30 to find out if he has made it through the night. Vet has said it's not looking good and I half expect them to say I should have him put to sleep when I ring later. Not a good day.
Guest Posted 17 June 2005 Posted 17 June 2005 Never having had pets (apparently my sister doesn't count), I don't understand what you're going through, but I'm sure whatever happens will be for the best.
Solihullfox Posted 17 June 2005 Author Posted 17 June 2005 Beam has made it through the night and I've been told that he is relatively comfortable in comparison to the pain he was in last night (the howling was horrible) but there is no feeling at all in his back legs due to the blood clot. Vets will call me when they assess him later.

It doesn't sound good and I hope Beamish can be a comfortable as possible. My best wishes go to Beamish and I hope he can pull through. :cry:
Katy Posted 17 June 2005 Posted 17 June 2005 Oh dear, thats really sad. Being a 'cat person' I really do know what you are going through having been brought up around them. I hope Beamish will be ok, it sounded like he had made a full recovery as well.
Solihullfox Posted 17 June 2005 Author Posted 17 June 2005 Spoken to the vet. Beamish is calm and not in pain at the moment but he has no feeling in his hind quarters at all and vet can't find a pulse in his back legs. He also said that the muscles are stiff which is not good. They are going to see what they can do over the next 24 hours or so however he is saying that chances of recovery are 50/50 at best. Even Murphy, my dog, seems subdued or maybe it's just because it's too hot for her.
