Hey all. This is my new cat blog for my recently adopted friends, Chad and Luka. @peepsbeeps was my original pet blog, but since both its name and content were primarily dominated by Peepers I want to keep it as a memorial for him.

Im so sorry for your loss.. Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing pictures of peepers with us.

Thank you for your kind words. My heart is hurting very deeply right now.

there’s a place for you by my side, always

Peepers has passed away.

hey all. peepers had his mri today.

they found a mass at the base of his skull which is invading his optic nerves. due to the location it is not surgically removable, and we aren’t really able to biopsy it to figure out what we’re working with. they did an ultrasound too, and at least there’s no evidence of any spread to his other body systems.

if we proceed with treatment we’re looking at radiation therapy. right now i’m waiting to hear back from the oncologist to find out what specific type of therapy might be good for him and if it’s something that we want to pursue. right now he’s on palliative steroids to reduce the pressure on his brain and help him feel better. they don’t think it’s likely that he will regain his vision.

this isn’t the news i wanted to hear, but i knew since a week-and-a-half ago that it was a possibility.

peepers is my heart-cat so this is taking a pretty big toll on me. please keep both of us in your thoughts/prayers/vibes

i might be opening a donation page and/or advertising commissions to help pay for his treatment costs at some point so keep your eyes peeled for that

#health update #cpeeps #thanks for reading and being here throughout this sporadically updated blog everyone #it means a lot to me

hi all, i haven't kept this blog very active lately, but i felt like i should update you all on our beloved peepers.

on thursday, may 20 2021, i noticed that peepers' eye was fully dilated and was not constricting in response to bright light (which is not normal.)

i took him into his regular vet on friday, who referred me to an ophthalmologist, which he saw yesterday (tuesday.) the eye doctor carried out a few tests and determined that peepers' eye is perfectly healthy and is creating and sending electrical signals to his brain in response to light like it's supposed to. unfortunately, the ophthalmologist also determined that peepers has developed a near or complete loss of vision, and that because his eye is functioning normally, the cause of this is that his brain is no longer properly receiving or interpreting the signals sent from his eye.

this means that peepers has some sort of neurological condition that is preventing this. it is unclear what the cause is, but some of the causes could be from either trauma, inflammation, a tumor, or potentially an infection. i am waiting on input from his regular vet, but i am likely going to take him somewhere to get a CT scan (again) and/or to see a neurologist to determine the underlying cause of the problem.

i am hoping and praying for the best possible prognosis for my sweetest boy.

peepers is otherwise doing okay right now. he is still eating, drinking, using his litterbox, and demanding love the way he always has. he is a bit disorientated from his sudden loss in vision and sometimes gets lost, but he is managing finding his way around our home okay overall.

#thank you for following us through the good and through the bad #health update #cpeeps
