"....Looks for company (lies on lap) but does not want too much attention (stroking)...." how is this different than before sulph? - This has been from time she was first ill, not just from after sulphur.


please explain the "jumpy" aspect-- She seems to be a deeper sleeper at the moment,more so than normal, so sometimes she is taken by surprise if someone comes into the room where she's sleeping or she could be lying in the lounge where we all are and someone gets up quickly to go to kitchen etc, she jumps and goes under chair or upstairs. This could also be because she's getting older perhaps(?) and since she's been ill, we've all been taking a lot more notice of her actions(?). But before she was ill, she was always aware if you came into the room where she was sleeping, nowadays she is taken unaware more often than not.


please describe as thorough as posiible the characteristics concerning 'lump' on head.....defined lump (as tumour/cyst?pressable?....etc - When she first got sick, the swelling was quite large between eyes and also down the left side of face. Because she did'nt like anyone touching her face, I could'nt tell you from my experience that there was a definite "lump" although the vet seemed to be able to feel something. Now though, and I have noticed it more in the last couple of days, there seems to be a definite lump between the eyes, a bit bigger than a pea I would say. I have tried to gently feel it when she's lying on my lap and it feels quite firm, but she does'nt like me touching it for long. But saying all this, I have noticed a very SLIGHT improvement since Friday/Saturday- Purring a bit more. Still wants her food, even though she does'nt eat a lot, but will go back to dried food a few times during the day. Still sneezes -after pouch food especially, but I have'nt seen blood out of the mouth again. Still thin and drinking a lot of water, but somehow there seems to be a very slight change in her. Could I ask, someone on this site, suggested trying Nat mur.What do you think?

nat-m? if sulph has given improvement and progress is obvious then no other remedies yet...manage case carefully...but i do understand you must make decision..

"...sneezing.....especially after 'pouch food'...." please explain this thoroughly---still mucous?blood? same intensity?length of time sneezing same?

"...sneezing.....especially after 'pouch food'...." please explain this thoroughly---still mucous?blood? same intensity?length of time sneezing same? - sneezing varies - but always has,- may start off a couple of sneezes but then a bit later goes into longer sneezing bouts. Don't always witness everything as I work during the day, so can only monitor her in morning, evening and weekends. Last couple of days, have not witnessed blood coming out of nostril but there is dried blood around the left nostril. Last night, gave her a little fresh food (turkey) but she would not touch it. Only ate dried food but this was "brought up" a bit later in the evening. Tried to examine her "lump" last night but she would'nt let me touch it. She still sounds full of mucous when breathing and a few times have seen her breathing through mouth - this has been ever since she has been sick. Her fur is starting to look a bit unkempt.

ok--single dose "only" arnica 200c

ok--single dose "only" arnica 200c - ok. Just wanted to mention, sneezing seems to be not as often. Have noticed a couple of scratch marks on top of her nose - thought another cat had scratched her but when watching her last night, she was cleaning her left side of nose and seemed to catch her dew claw on her nose, perhaps scratches are from herself (?). Still sounding full of mucous. Still breathing through mouth on occassions and when lying down, have noticed a couple of times, she tilts her head back and to one side, opens mouth for a few seconds and then it seems to pass and she puts her head back down. Had a sneezing bout this morning but no mucous or blood came out. Lump still there. Left eye doesn't look as watery at the moment.

what current status?

what current status? - gave single dose of Arnica 200c last night. She did'nt seem too bad last night. Left her pouch food, just ate dried food. Had a sneezing bout before Arnica but no mucous or blood. Went out this morning, came back in and ate half of pouch food - then started to sneeze again but not for too long. No mucous or blood seen.

check lump--observe! what is her reaction to touching lump?what do you notice concerning the lump at this time?

how is her behavior currently?please explain

check lump--observe! what is her reaction to touching lump?what do you notice concerning the lump at this time? - No change to lump at this time. Still a definite lump a bit bigger than a pea. She will only let me touch it a couple of times while I stroke her. If I touch it too much she moves away.

how is her behavior currently?please explain - She seems a little more subdued (?). Likes to lie in front of the fire in the evenings and tonight have noticed not as jumpy as a few days ago. Left eye a little watery tonight and also around left nostril. But no sneezing tonight! Before when she went outside, she would'nt stay out for too long but this evening was sitting in low branch of tree outside and when I called her, she had to have a good scratch of the trunk before she came in. Still very thin though and fur still looks unkempt.
