My poor poor little kitten took a sudden turn for the worse yesterday. She had a grub in her neck a month ago and has since recovered (with vet & antibiotic). Now, however, she is REALLY sick - fever, walking around in cirlces, has a lazy paw, glazed over eyes, sleeping all the time. The Vet thinks she must have another grub that has migrated to her brain. Has this ever happened to anyone's pet before? The vet didn't seem to think it was too serious - he took her in for observation for a day and half and is giving her antibiotics. We now have her home and her condition hasn't improved. Vet said once the grub works it's way out (burrows a breathing hole through her skin) she should be okay. This is really hard to believe, since she now seems inches away from death. We are so sad, especially b/c we can't do anything. We're feeding her with an eyedropper b/c she can't eat. And we've got antibiotics for her twice a day. Help! Please someone tell me some good news. Thanks.

Has anyone had a kitten with a warble/bot fly/grub in it's brain?

I had a horse once that didn't duck when it ran under an apple tree and punched a hole through it's skull. The vet college removed ten percent of her brain in reparing her and the only permanent damage she suffered was slight vision loss in one eye. Most of the brain is not used for motive/cognitive function so your kitten may be fine.
