Oh Dad. I know your heart skipped a beat when Glamour passed out. My prayers are with your entire family. We pet parents feel helpless when our babies don't feel well.
When my kitty did that it turned out her blood pressure was very high. Blood pressure medication brought it down and she didn’t have any more episodes like that.
You might ask your vet to consider if the "faint" was actually a vegus nerve response. Our cat, when he had a regular hairball, would be fine. However, if he tried and tried to get a hairball up--but failed--he would actually fall over and have what looked like a seizure. He does NOT have epilepsy, but our vets concluded that the "unsuccessful hairball ejection" was so rough on his upper GI tract that it would prompt this behavior. The good news is, he would always fully recover and be "fine," and no treatment was needed. Now that he is older, we brush him constantly so he never has hairballs--and thus--we have not seen this behavior in years.
Yes - vagal syncope is definitely a possibility in Glamour's episode - and you are correct that there is no treatment for it - the best thing to do is to prevent the hairballs in the first place by doing regular brushing and by feeding a hairball preventative gel a couple times a week
I came here to say that too. Putting pressure on the vagus nerve can happen from the force of vomiting. It's wise to investigate her murmur at her age though.
Glamour may not be using the buttons but she sure does know how to tell you how she feels!! Thank you for the update. I'm sure these types of videos are not easy for you to do. We appreciate you
Awww. Poor Glamour's really going through it right now. The constant itching must have left her feeling so uncomfortable and agitated. I hope that the new medication works well, and she gets rid of the itchies. ❤❤❤
Poor Glamour. Sending her and all of you lots of love and healing prayers. Thank you for the update. Poor baby girl, passing out. That is so scary. Sending hugs and pets. Please feel better Glamour. 💖🙏
Thank you, Dad for taking the time to keep us filled in. Going through the aging process sucks some times, and Glamour passing out must have shaken you and your wife. Wishing you all the best, that these symptoms lessen and there be calm in your home. 💜
Just like humans, we have to keep trying different medications until we find the best one for us. I hope now Glamour will be more comfortable. Don't you love Todd climbing into Glamour's basket and making himself at home. Cuteness overload
I love Glamour giving instructions 😂😂😂. For her age she is in beautiful condition. Todd is stunning. His tail gets thicker, I am sure. I noticed Paulie's little face in the background. ❤❤❤❤
I was once asked by a Dr in the ER what made me feel I had passed out. I told him I felt something was wrong, went Uh-oh, and the next thing I was aware of, I was on the floor with the stuff I was carrying strewn about, and my wife asking me what happened. His response was to deadpan respond "That's a pretty good indicator." That's my favorite Dr comment I've ever received. Poor Glamour. We're all pulling for her. Of course, if things get too bad, thinking of her suffering comes before anyone's wishes - even Todd's.
Poor doctors, you know they have to ask questions like that because someone didn't know what passing out really was. Navigating which kind of patient you have can be difficult to do gracefully.
Glamour's vet sounds very thorough, so glad they were aware of side effects of meds and changed it. 🙏🙏 that this new med will resolve her issues for now. 💕💕
I'm glad that glad that Glamour is feeling better. The episode of throwing up then passing out sounds very much like Vasovagal Syncope. I have had several episodes. It's complicated to explain, but basically the vasovagal nerve is connected to the brain, heart and gastric system.
Remember vomit is a vagus nerve reflex. She could have had what is called a vasovagal reflex wich cause fainting. It happened to my cat. He has no heart condition. It can hapen whyle vomiting, pooping or peeing.
I used Adequan on my Bengal Boy cat his last 2 years of life. It helped him tremendously. He had back issues that made it hard to walk. Edit: I forgot that I used Cosequin powder in his food as another commenter is discussing.
My family and I add to the prayers for beautiful Glamour. We join you, Dad, sweet Todd and family in your concern and we so appreciate your updates. Dear Todd has us all addicted to his journey, and we're happy to come along for the furry ride. Thank you for loving these beasties and sharing them with us. Sending hugs and chin scritches, Django 🐈⬛and Fam
Oh! Sweet little Glamour! What a beautiful little girl! Sending prayers and much love and light. Hoping we get the best update on our girl! Thank you for keeping us posted.
Poor Glamour :< She is an old lady of course but, hopefully you can get her feeling comfortable for however long she will continue to grace us with her presence. I wonder if Todd's "all done" was speaking for Glamour and her desire for you to stop talking :'v Our kitty is the same, she doesn't like when we talk to anyone or anything unless it's her.
Yes! My sweet 19 year old girl was limping and having trouble getting up on furniture. My vet started her on Adequan and she started running and climbing with ease! No itching! Im a big fan of Adequan!!
I hope Glamour, Paulie & Todd are around for many more years so thoughts, prayers and, as we say one Tiny Kittens, PoTP (Power of the paw) heading your way. ❤️😻❤️
POOR GLAMOUR HOPE SHE GETS BETTER I JUST HAD TO PUT MY 12 YEAR OLD CAT DOWN SHE WAS PEEING BLOOD HAD TUNORS IN HER BELLY AND CANCER ON HER FACE ALL TUMORS THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEEN CRYING FOR 4 DAYS NOW BUT ENOUGH ABOUT BEBE SORRY ABOUT GLAMOUR BEBE WAS A RESCUE I HOPE THINGS WORK OUT FOR ALL YOUR CATS GOD BLESS THEM ALL
Awww poor Glamor!! I can imagine the terror you felt when she had her episode, Dad. If one of my kitties did something like that... phew, I would be just beside myself, as I'm sure you were! I hope her blood work comes back okay and that nothing like that happens again!!! I'll be keeping Glamor and the rest of your clan in my thoughts! ❤😻
Sorry to hear about Glamour's heart murmur. I feel you, bro. My 19-year-old ginger tabby has a heart murmur and the vet thinks there is a possibility of cardiomyopathy. I'm taking my cat in next week to see a cardiologist.
@@markfury1433 I found it incredibly difficult to get my CHF kitty to take Plavix, plus it caused his kidneys to start failing until we discontinued it! Sub-cutaneous Lovenox can be expensive without discount cards, but it was easy to administer. Bastian was in "end-stage" heart failure when diagnosed, but Lovenox plus me pulverizing atenolol, enalapril, furosemide & potassium and administering the powder in his food every 8-12 hours gave us 3 more years together.
I had my cat on Silesia and she had the neck sores which got infected and had to be discontinued. The itching could be allergic too. Non steroidal ant inflammatory medications can contribute to cardiac issues. I am praying for her to continue to be comfy and happy. Much love and respect to a wonderful Cat-Dad, Glamour. Todd, and Pauline🥰🥰🥰🥰
I had an older cat that started to puke and then collapse. The vet thought it was probably her heart. It’s really hard when they start getting sick in their old age. Very stressful. Best wishes to all of you.
We know Adequan, we have injected our dog for the past few years, it seems to help the 14 year old pup, she is now on Librela injections as well.One of our rescue cats had heart murmurs, too. I feel for you.
I am glad you have some answers. Its hard to get them from the vets sometimes. I hope Glamour improves and lives a better and healthier life now. I have four cats myself. Maine Coon , 2 Birmans, 1 Black cat, the latter was a rescue in the winter. He now looks like a panther.
Dr Todd's gonna need more buttons for identifying medical ailments lol. I'm praying for Glamour, hopefully the new meds don't harm her in any way and she stops itching.
Poor baby! Praying for her and for you and your family. Having gone through a multiple -year experience of caring for a senior cat with increasing health problems, I fully understand the anxiety and the expense. But of course they are worth every bit of it. And Glamour couldn't have a better dad to take care of her and make sure she gets all the love and care she needs.
Oh bless her little kitty heart ❤. No doubt that scared you. I'll be praying for Glamour. Please look into acupuncture and chiropractic care for Glamour which really work and there are no side effects.❤
I hope Glamours blood work comes out good. Maybe the action of coughing up the hairball caused a skip in her heart which caused her to pass out. That happened to me too but I didn't pass out bc of course I am bigger in size. But my heart was skipping beats by merely coughing deeply. She seems back to her old self again. The itchiness could be due to fleas too or allergies to food or something on her face. But you were mentioning her medication which makes more sense. Pray 🙏 she will be fine!
Hoping that the new medication works out really well for sweet Glamour, she's such a darling. Todd going for that 'all done' button is so funny, he is just brilliant. I wonder if he realised that Glamour disapproves of you speaking to other people and that was perhaps another factor in his decision that it was time for you to finish XD Or perhaps he just felt like playtime :)
Oh Dad. I know your heart skipped a beat when Glamour passed out. My prayers are with your entire family. We pet parents feel helpless when our babies don't feel well.
I read "out" as "away" at first 😥
When my kitty did that it turned out her blood pressure was very high. Blood pressure medication brought it down and she didn’t have any more episodes like that.

Yes, Vagus nerve is a possibility.
This may be so helpful, thank you for sharing. If she's very itchy, then she may be licking herself more which could be part of this.
Always reminds me of Mr Spock…
I came here to say that too. Putting pressure on the vagus nerve can happen from the force of vomiting. It's wise to investigate her murmur at her age though.
Glamour may not be using the buttons but she sure does know how to tell you how she feels!!
Thank you for the update. I'm sure these types of videos are not easy for you to do. We appreciate you
Oh dear, poor Glamour! I hope she feels better soon.
Awww, poor Glamour. Hope she gets better. And Todd...if I fits, I sits!
Poor baby. Glamour has been going through a lot. ❤ to all your cats.
Poor Glamour. Sending hugs.🫂
Poor sweet Glamour. I hope you get to the bottom of her health issues and it’s something treatable.
Glamour is such a sweet lady. I hope she feels better soon.
Awww. Poor Glamour's really going through it right now. The constant itching must have left her feeling so uncomfortable and agitated. I hope that the new medication works well, and she gets rid of the itchies. ❤❤❤
Yeah imagine if that was your choice... Have your back hurt less but gain itchiness.
That's scary. I hope the vet finds the issue.
Oh no! Poor Glamour. Thank you for taking such good care of all your kitties.
My heart goes out to Glamour and you all, kitties included. I hope effective treatment restores Glamour to health 🙏🏻🐾❤️😽
Aw. Poof Glamour. Sweet baby. I know that was a shock.
She is so cute meowing in her basket!
I hope the blood work brings good news for Glamour and for her greatest admirer, Todd!
Offering up prayers for Glamour.
❤❤❤
Hugs for sweet Glamour! Hope she is better soon.
I’m glad the veterinarian saw her again she really loves to have her meows with you
Glamor please feel better. ❤ Heart murmurs are very common in long haired breeds, but manageable. Thank you for sharing their lives with us.
I would imagine that Todd is concerned about her, too; he’s so caring. I pray that the doctor can find out exactly what’s going on with her.
Yikes! I'm worried about that grumpy little kitty. We want her around for a long time to come :) Prayers for Glamour, and Todd, too!
Aww, I hate it when pets get sick😢. I see all the kitties were present in the update. Health and happiness to them all😸
Poor Glamour. Sending her and all of you lots of love and healing prayers. Thank you for the update. Poor baby girl, passing out. That is so scary. Sending hugs and pets. Please feel better Glamour. 💖🙏
Awww, Glamour! Hang in there, Sweetie. You keep us up to date on her, Todd.
That explains why my cat who only just started solencia, is licking her fur off her feet. Wishing you all the best thanks for the update
Thank you, Dad for taking the time to keep us filled in. Going through the aging process sucks some times, and Glamour passing out must have shaken you and your wife. Wishing you all the best, that these symptoms lessen and there be calm in your home. 💜
Awww... poor girl. She's just been through it lately. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. All my love to your family, especially to Glamour.
Just like humans, we have to keep trying different medications until we find the best one for us. I hope now Glamour will be more comfortable. Don't you love Todd climbing into Glamour's basket and making himself at home. Cuteness overload
Poor Glamour. I am sorry to hear this. I hope that the vet can shed more light on her condition.
I love Glamour giving instructions 😂😂😂. For her age she is in beautiful condition. Todd is stunning. His tail gets thicker, I am sure. I noticed Paulie's little face in the background. ❤❤❤❤
These 3 kitties and their considerate, caring dad are EVERYTHING 🥰🤗🐈⬛️

Old age is not for the meek, even in Cats!. Glamour has more reason to continue (getting such loving care) than some of us humans. Wish her the best.
Glamour wanted to tell the news herself.
I hope Glamour will be okay. It's so scary when they get sick.
I'm glad that glad that Glamour is feeling better. The episode of throwing up then passing out sounds very much like Vasovagal Syncope. I have had several episodes. It's complicated to explain, but basically the vasovagal nerve is connected to the brain, heart and gastric system.
All 3 kitties in the video! Todd and Paulie are showing support for Glamour! ❤
Remember vomit is a vagus nerve reflex. She could have had what is called a vasovagal reflex wich cause fainting. It happened to my cat. He has no heart condition. It can hapen whyle vomiting, pooping or peeing.
Oh dear. The trials of having an aging cat. ❤️🇨🇦
Very sorry for Glamour. I hope she gets better soon.
Awww Glamour…Todd in a basket…too funny!!
Well that's good news about her back
Prayers for all of you…
I used Adequan on my Bengal Boy cat his last 2 years of life. It helped him tremendously. He had back issues that made it hard to walk.

Sorry to hear about Glamour's heart murmur. I feel you, bro. My 19-year-old ginger tabby has a heart murmur and the vet thinks there is a possibility of cardiomyopathy. I'm taking my cat in next week to see a cardiologist.
Plavix, to prevent blood clots in the heart, blood pressure meds to keep BP. at about 150. ask the cardiologist about these.

Thank you for the updates poor Glamour get well soon little princess !!!
Poor Glamour, that's why she's so cranky.
She has been cranky and spicy since she was a kitten.
Aww gosh praying for Glamour!
Hope goes well

I had an older cat that started to puke and then collapse. The vet thought it was probably her heart. It’s really hard when they start getting sick in their old age. Very stressful. Best wishes to all of you.

aw Glamour you Beautiful kitty, Thank you for the updates on her health. many healing prayers for all kitty Cats. take care Todd's Dad.
Oh no poor Glamour! Sounds like vagal response to gagging. Hope it was spontaneous and they don’t find anything.
I am glad you have some answers. Its hard to get them from the vets sometimes. I hope Glamour improves and lives a better and healthier life now. I have four cats myself. Maine Coon , 2 Birmans, 1 Black cat, the latter was a rescue in the winter. He now looks like a panther.

Oh bless her little kitty heart ❤. No doubt that scared you. I'll be praying for Glamour. Please look into acupuncture and chiropractic care for Glamour which really work and there are no side effects.❤
Glamour is protesting you revealing her medical history lol
I hope she gets better soon
I’ll bet she didn’t sign the HIPAA form
um, we don't have HIPAA for cats. yet.
Hope the new med sorts her out quickly and she's comfortable. I'm sure that was super scary.
Oh no. That's scary. I'm sorry. Thank you for the update.
