    18 Year Old Male Part Maine Coon Has Lost A Lot Of Weight

    Thank you and we accept the group hug and pat on the head. It weird how at one time cleaning cat hair off of the couch can be a chore to becoming a pleasure/honor. Now it's the little things we miss and wish we had to do again. :grouphug:

    Thanks for the kind words about Socks and Lilbit. It is a sadness that is hard to explain but I know the people on this site have probably felt it. I felt so sorry for Socks losing his sister. He changed so much and I know he couldn't understand why she wasn't coming home. It broke our hearts...

    Thanks to all. We held each other in bed and cried together. Things are better today. We kept ourselves busy.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Socks and Lilbit WERE the best and this was the second hardest decision that I have ever made. The first was telling the doctor to turn off the life support to my 19 year old son in 1987. In January he will be 50 years old. Now he has Socks and Lilbit to...

    We made the ultimate decision today. Socks was going downhill just like Lilbit did a year and a half ago. Now brother and sister are playing together again in Heaven. She suffered, he did not. Socks on the right and Lilbit on the left. He was my best buddy and Lilbit was Jan's best buddy. We...

    We haven't had much luck with the Pedialyte. Regardless of where we put it he snubs his nose at it. I'll ask about Cerenia and see what they say. He hasn't thrown up the Baby Food. He ate almost an entire jar. He has always been picky but now it's over the top. We never know when or what he will...

    He just ate quite a bit of Turkey and Broth Baby Food. We'll see if he can keep it down. He wanted nothing to do with his regular canned cat food since 3:20am this morning. He gets one pill a day of this...Zeniquin 25mg. Antibiotic. .

    Socks did not eat any of his food last night. This morning he ate some food but about 30 minutes later he threw it up.

    18 Year Old Male Part Maine Coon Has Lost A Lot Of Weight

    It's weird but as soon as we got home he walked straight to his regular food and started eating. He hadn't done that since last Thursday. They did give him two shots. One antibiotic and one to help stop the nausea. Since we have been home he has acted like nothing has been bothering him. We'll...

    We are going to try antibiotics for one week. If there is no difference then will probably have him put down. One of his kidneys is enlarged and there's a mass inside that she couldn't identify without an ultra sound and that's $500 dollars. We don't have that at this time and at his age. That...

    18 Year Old Male Part Maine Coon Has Lost A Lot Of Weight

    The main problem is that he does eat a very small amount and then after a few minutes he throws it up. I getting ready at this moment to be at the vets office when they open at 7:30am. Hopefully she can figure out what's going on with him. Rest assured, I have not given up yet. I do not take his...
