[FEL-L] Apache~ our Cougar

[Rodney Nelson]

OH it is so hard to loose someone that you love and put so much time into Just know in your heart that you are very good people and that you did every thing you could you just have to learn from what happened and to see if it is a fixable problem next time, I have lost ALL my babies to Pat Craig and he wont even let me know how they are doing and I am still very sad over the loss of my babies, two were mine but had to give up because of fish and game long story all the other animals I could not secure a place to bring them and have them I will email you something that I did get from some one on this list. have a good one and please rest easy just knowing

Subject: [FEL-L] Apache~ our Cougar



Hey list.. over the last few months Ive posted questions about cats and Lymes disease etc.. 
Well about a month ago we had to put our cougar to sleep. He just got worse and worse and was more uncomfortable. 
There was a mass confusion over his necropsy, but we did get some things sent to a lab with lots of expereince with such things.. and this is what they say: 
 
 Her finding is Feline Ischemic Encephalopathy which is caused 99.9% of the time by Cuterebra  larvae.       It is a fly larva that loves to make its way to cat brains.    It is not uncommon in domestic cats and has been reported in non-domestic species.

Its is apparently very common. More so then we realize. There is nothing we could have done. I just want others to be aware. Best you can do is to control the fly population.. put out traps, keep clean. and even then.... 
If anyone is on Facebook.. he has a page.. Apache Simas. 
Hug em and Love em while you can..........
