Comments (2)Do a web search on 'Feline Hipatic Lipidosis' or 'fatty liver syndrome'. There is lots of info. You might have to keep the fellow fed through a stomach tube for many weeks...but eventually, he should get better....See MoreIBS or Lymphoma
Comments (6)sduck2, I am very , very sorry to hear what your little one is going through... Getting a finicky cat (and I have a couple of these) to eat is always a real challenge--and I know you'll get MANY suggestions. One thing that seems to work well with one my sick cats (a foster cat I am taking care of at the moment), is to put the food through the blender, with chicken broth (home made). I usually put a couple of varieties (kitten food which she usually just licked before). This reduces it to the consistency of baby food, and I give her a full table spoon every 3-4 hours. I also add some supplements (Anitra vita minerals) She actually licks the plate clean and is eating more now! You may want to replace the chicken broth by some tuna juice, at first, since she seems to go for that. My very best to you both, Anne-Marie...See Morecat will not eat any food
Comments (4)They took three separate x rays over the course of a week. When he initially went in he had a little aspiration in his lungs and when they administered the iv it got worst. That's what they said could be the indication of a heart disease. It has since cleared up though, I have been giving him antibiotics. Seems to be improving now actually just extremely slow....See MoreRIP Sweet Cleo
Comments (15)Current Resident - here is the link to her adventure. The post is rather long. In a nutshell: Somebody opened our back door in the middle of the night, stole DH's wallet and left the door open. Two of the four cats ventured outside. Bob came right back for breakfast but Cleo remained missing. I had sightings of her on a trail camera but no luck catching her. Through fliers and social media posts, I got a call after almost exactly 30 days that Cleo might be in her front yard. And she was. We got Cleo in February of 2003 when I spotted a cat across the street in the snow.I went out and bent down and she immediately climbed on my shoulder. We took her to the vet for a checkup and he determined that she was not as young as she seemed. She was missing a couple of teeth and was not spayed. She checked out OK and we made an appointment to get her spayed. She was in good health until (other than arthritis) until about 2 years ago when we found out about her thyroid problems. Our Vet is a wonderful mobile vet that will come to the house or we go see her at our pet food store where she had clinics every Wednesday and every other Saturday, She practices integrative medicine and does acupuncture. Cleo was the queen of our little posse of cats and she was my cat. She preferred my lap and only occasionally sought out my husbands or son for some petting....See Moreagnespuffin
