Dad Tom and I thank everyone who has sent purrs, prayers and POTP for our little fellow, Sawyer.
Right now Sawyer remains hospitalized. He is being treated by a wonderful veterinarian, Dr. Maureen Noftsinger. She is the vet who saved Lily Olivia’s life after she was hit by a car. If you do not know about that incident, you can read about it here, “Lily Olivia is a Survivor.”
Dad Tom and I visited Sawyer yesterday afternoon. I held him and talked to him for a long time. He seemed content in my arms. He was responsive but quiet…definitely not his usual “piss and vinegar” self. He was agitated by a noisy dog in the waiting room and other noises.
Our regular vet, Dr. Kathryn Neel, is out of town, but I had a 20-minute conversation with her by telephone. At the conclusion of that, Dad Tom and I decided not to take Sawyer to the vet school at Virginia Tech for additional evaluation. It is cost prohibitive and findings would not change his treatment plan. A third medication (Keppra) will be added to the two (phenobarbital and Zonisimide) he is already taking. The Keppra needs to be formulated for him, and Dr. Noftsinger doesn’t want to send him home until she can get him on it and observe him. We are hoping he can start on that today.
Good he is stable. Our Callie had several seizures back in May but nothing showed in her exam as the cause of them. we have had her on CBD oil since then and no more seizures. I hope they can find out what caused Sawyers. Sending good vibes’
Thank you so much for the update on Sawyer. We are keeping up our purrs and prayers, and hope that third medicine works the way the doctors hope it will. XO
Thanks for the update. More power of the paw, healing purrs and lots of love for Sawyer. We do so hope he makes a full recovery and will be home for Christmas.
OH NOES! Oh Sawyer, I am keepin’ the POTP and healin’ vibes comin’ your way my pal! Ma says I needs to send some slobbery kisses to your Moms, so she isn’t so stressed ☺

Thanks so much for the update, we’re sending all of our best purrs and prayers to dear Sawyer. I’m glad the new meds will be in him soon and hopefully that will help your sweet boy. Hugs from all of us here.
We will continue to purr and pray for little Sawyer. Poor baby. Does the v-e-t have any idea yet what is causing the seizures?
We will keep the prayers coming and hope that the new meds got there overnight – if he can have a dose while at the E.R. they can see how he reacts to it and know if it’s safe for him to come home. At any rate, we just know the little guy will be home for Christmas with his wonderful family! We love you all……..and send a special gentle squeeze to sweet Sawyer.
Love, Pam and Teddy too
Oh bless him, our thoughts and prayers continue to be with him with the hope that he will be coming home to you very soon, happy and well.
Gentle healing purrs
