Episodes


Today Gabrielli has had another episode, I found her sitting on a ledge staring as if she did not know where to go. I picked her up and brought her in, started to brush her to help her calm down. This did not work and she got more agitated.

While i was trying to get her to calm Carmen came into the room and started to watch Gabrielli very closely. Not a good sign so i went to pick up Gab to take her into another room also to trim her nails since i wasn't to trusting of her. Right as I picked her up Carmen slapped at her, she caught me instead, it seems that she was trying to protect me from the cat she perceived to be attacking me. It is good that she got me in the back of the forearm not the inner part where all the veins are.

I did not react just continued on to take Gabrielli out and trim her nails which were major hooks and then put her in the isolation room. this is the room that usually gets the pheromone so she was left there for an hour. During which i trimmed Moira,Carmen and Isadora, Then brought back out for more brushing and cuddling. It makes me so sad that she has these episodes, and the veterinarians will not prescribe anything until they can observe one of the episodes.
Sometimes I think it would have been better if I had not tried to help her when she had the reaction to the rabies vaccine and had let her slide away.
