Just before noon, Mark drove home from the vet. I couldn't wait to know if Tolstoy was home alive until I heard "meow" loudly. I was so happy to hear his voice...and that meant he was better. Whenever I thought of him on the night before, it was so incredible (did he cheat death?).
The doctor diagnosed that he had some swelling tissues in one of his ears and that made him lose his balance and strong muscle. He was given Cortisone or Corticosteriod. The chance for Tolstoy could be 50/50. We should see the result (increase his appetite) within 2-3 days. If Cortisone doesn't work, he probably has a brain tumor. If so, it could take a thousand of dollars for analysis and diagnosis.
Since Tolstoy came home, he has been improving obviously...ate and drank a lot more, walked more comfortably, mew louder especially when he wanted his new food I bought this morning and he could go upstairs and downstairs with no problems. Hopefully, he can keep it up a couple more days so we make sure that Cortisone works well with him.
I'm glad you are home with us again, Tolstoy.
