AFTERNOON UPDATE: Shadow is fighting hard. She is purring and cuddling her family. She is eating a little. Since she is fighting, they are contacting the neurologist to see when they can get the a non-emergency appointment.Our Jake's Shadow is still not doing well. This all started on July 2. Her Mom was treating all the animals (3 cats and 4 dogs) for fleas/ticks ans ear mites. She wraps the animals gently in a towel so they feel secure. She had put the Revolution on Shadows back and there was no problem. Se started putting the ear mite stuff in her ear and Shadow jerked violently and became distressed. Her mom let her go and she went to Jake's room. The next morning one of Shadows eyes was dilated. The Vet treated her with IV's and deemed her well enough to go home. Friday Morning she was foaming at the mouth ans staggering. She went back to the vet and has been there all this long weekend. She is eating , a little. She is still having some foaming and throwing up and staggering. She has been on oxygen and steroid shots. The doctor is suggesting a specialist several hundred miles away. But remember, this is a large military family and they are on a tight budget!
Her Mom is taking her Jake up to see her now. The current plan is to wait and see. If she is able to come home to a quiet room with Jake on Wednesday, they will do that.
The Doctor thinks she was oxygen deprived and has brain swelling. They have some very hard decisions to make and need all the purrs and prayers we can give them.

Oh no. Poor Shadow. We will purr
Oh, I am so sad to hear that Shadow is not doing well. I was so hopeful after the last post that the next thing we would hear is that she was home. I am really really praying that she gets better, and the kitties are sending all their best purrs her way. Thanks for keeping us updated, this must be very tough on her family, so our thoughts and purrs and prayers are going out to them and all of you too.
I am very sorry that Shadow is so sick. I am sending my very, very best purrs for Shadow and her family.
Poor little Shadow. I will purr my best healing purrs. And I am an exceptional purrer!
Oh no! We are purring really hard that Shadow will be okay!
I came over from Amy's Blog to find out about Shadow. I'm so sorry that this beautiful kitty is so sick! I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,

Thanks for explaining more here, we were just at Shadow's blog before we came here and it sounded kinda bad but we didn't really know what was going on 'zactly since the last update.
We've been sending purrs all weekend since first reading 'bout it the other day, and will keep doing so!
Purrs and hugs to y'all too,
The Kitty Krew
We are sending our best healing vibes and purrs to sweet, Shadow!!!
Bless heart!
Very sorry to hear that Shadow is doing so poorly. I hope that she makes a full recovery...sounds like she has the will to live. Drs. Louie and Fuzzy are heading to the vet hospital right now...they are big cats and they figure if they put on white lab coats, everyone will think they are doctors, as they go in to purr Shadow gently into recovery.
We are very sorry that Shadow is sick. We are sending our very best purrs and healthy thoughts to her.
We hate it when any cat suffers the way Shadow has. It is so sad. We will send comforting vibes and purrayers to Shadow's family.

My healing vibes are floating your way this second, I have just spent a week watching my Blossom fight for her life, she is not out of the woods yet, has to regain some weight. Our animals fight hard to stay with those they love, may Shadow win her battle and be back to purrfect health soon xo
We will pray and purr for Shadow! That is sad when kitties get sick!
This is very worrying. We hope from the deepest parts of our hearts that Shadow will pull through. We know how vet bills can sum up. We are purring and purring for Shadow here!
