Hello @white shadow, thanks for the follow-up and additional information. I haven't had any further discussions with my vet on what may have caused the stroke. I suspect it may have been hypertension, but I don't think it was tested at the vet, or I didn't see the results. Ian was very...

Possible Stroke - Symptoms and recovery I'm sharing this for anyone at some point goes through something similar. End note: My cat Ian is doing well. Prefix: Male cat (Ian), 13 years old. Diagnosed at age 12 with hyperthyroid, on Methimazole twice daily to control T4. No other...

In my experience with multiple cats having extensive and minor dental surgeries have been mixed. I've had situations where the cat had several teeth removed and was eating the next day. In another situation having extensive work done, the cat didn't eat or sleep for 4-5 days. I would say...

@cataholic07, They do get Friskies, along with other wet foods like Fancy feast and Pet Value Performatrin Ulta. I'm not familiar with Rawz, not sure if it is sold in Canada. I'll keep and eye out for it. Appreciate the input.

I would like to share some great news. All cats are eating normally again. Ian started to show some positive signs over the past couple days, his behaviors were becoming more normal. At supper he came to his food, sniffed and just sat there, but wouldn't eat. Progress! I knew we were...

Ian still not eating food. Day 6. He is starting to perk up a bit, playing with his water tap drips etc. @neely I am going to get a second opinion. I will ask for bloodwork and another subcutaneous shot. I'll see if there is anything else they can do. @Furballsmom. I completely...

Hello @ArtNJ. Appreciate the input. I do have AC but rarely put it on, essentially because where I live I don't typically require much cooling. Our weather recently hasn't been that hot. Mini update: Ian still not eating. Day 6. I did see him get more interested in water, playing with...

Quick update. Chewy is back to normal. Eating fine. Solo is back to normal. Eating fine. Ian is still not eating. Still not sure what happened, but about 5 days after initial onset of symptoms the cat starts to regain some appetite. By the 6th day, the cat is eating well again. So...

Thanks for the reply. It was my call on getting the cat in today vs tomorrow. None of the cats seem to be in distress, otherwise I would insisted coming in today. I keep having the feeling that they will start eating again based on my cat Chewy, who was the first to exhibit signs. Chewy is...

No change in my cats condition. I've picked up all new wet and dry food, including some sardines. One cat was really interested and licked up some of the juice, but didn't eat. Chewy was the first cat having symptoms and is eating some, including some wet and temptations. Solo and Ian...

I appreciate the updates and feedback. @ArtNJ. I completed understand where are you coming from, cats can be just weird sometimes! All cats are heathy weight. Ian was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and is on medication, he weight is back to a normal-thin level now he is on meds. He...

I have 4 cats, two elderly cats (Denzel and Ian) and two young adult cats who are brothers (Chewy and Solo). All cats are fed same food at same intervals. Morning is wet and some dry. Supper is wet and some dry. Late evening snacks are dry. Food is typically Friskies (various flavours) and...

One of male cats does this at times too.

To the OP. You have it right. When the tail is up with a slight curl at the tip, that means a happy cat who is exhibiting friendly behavior. The tail straight up over the back is common in another of mine only when I scratch his back at the base of the tail, or sometimes when food is being...

Hello Ire17. How many teeth are being removed? More than likely if only a couple teeth are being removed, their recovery may be quick. I had my cat Oreo in about 9 months ago and had his two large K9 teeth moved, the next day he was eating normally like nothing happened. I would follow...
