This is my wee Roary Roo aka the kookaroo. Roary was found in a truck's tire well hiding from the continuous attack of a cat bird. I raced to the scene and grabbed the underweight kitten. Boy, what he lacked in size, he made up for in his roar! That was the loudest meOW I have ever heard from Roo ever! He came to live with me and our much smaller crew in 2007. Roo never grew to be a robust male cat. He has always been kitten sized. When he was three, he developed grand mal seizures. We attributed them to a very mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia. The only other symptom he ever exhibited was his funny gait. I even nicknamed him RooRoo Funnywalker. Last December I decided to wean him off sedatives while introducing cbd oil. He had breakthrough seizures on the sedatives; on the cbd oil, not only was he seizure free, he was back to the kookaroo I know and love. He was running around the apartment again singing his signature "hoo hoo"; bouncing off the walls and galloping around like a nut! In late August, he started sneezing. The vet treated him for a sinus infection since two types of bacteria were present. Over the course of a month, the infection went away as the smell dissipated but the swelling remained. Xrays only showed a change in porosity under his right eye. Did he have a stroke? Is this a virulent bone infection or something worse? On the upside, Roo is still eating. He only eats Smalls semi raw food but he eats up to three times a day! He takes his supplements and his immune boosting smoothie like a champ. He seems to enjoy sleeping on his pemf mat and receiving his photopuncture treatments. Funny thing is, Roo never purred until recently. It is the sweetest sound I have ever heard! Please say a purrayer for my little Kooka Roo. Namaste.
