So it would seem Cleo's little trip to the vet a week ago was most likely a miss treatment. They treated her for a deficiency in thiamine and gave her a lot of antibiotics as a result she got better to get worse again. I had a different vet out Monday when the Symptoms returned he quickly diagnosed it as Listeriosis and gave me enough antibiotics to treat a small elephant (at 10:30 at night) to make a long story short she was so neurological the first night i ended up sleeping on the floor to hold her upright(wait did i say sleep? got like two hours and school the next day super fun.) but she's drinking on her own again no longer having seizers and can sit up on her own! I guess the long acting meds they gave her in the IV must have been Strong enough to fight it off but when they wore off it just came back again good thing we called in some one else...e was cheaper too. Plus when he saw I was a student at VTI he gave me the names of all the meds and the infection so i could look it all up. PS.this is the reason i haven't been on sorry for the absence
