Thank you for the link and the information. I have scheduled a consultation with the veterinarian today before the planned euthanasia, to discuss medications and change of diet. So do you think it would be okay to feed him and the other cats only low carb wet food? Because from experience I know...
All his life he has been eating standard Whiskas wet food. At several points I've tried to change his feed to both more expensive and cheaper brands, but he hasn't liked them very well.
Then I switched to this other cheaper brand about a month ago which he seemed to like at first but after a...
Hi! Thanks for answering!
Besides that he has been drinking and peeing a lot, he has also been acting very tired like just laying around all the time. He is still doing this today, even though he is not drinking very much today or peeing.
He has for several months been throwing up occasionally...
Hi,
One of my cats started drinking water constantly a few weeks ago causing him to pee a lot. I thought it might be his kidneys since he is after all 12 ½ years old.
I took him to the vet and she ran several tests on him such as kidneys, liver, blood sugar, thyroid gland, etc. Turns out the...
I figured the second one was a Persian, but thought the first one might be something else because it looked different. Anyway, thank you for your help!
Yes I am keeping an eye on her weight. So far she is still the same as she was at the vet's office. I actually think she might have been getting more food into her stomach while she's been force fed. I basically followed the vet's orders on the amounts to feed her per day, but it seems it was...
I have good news, she has finally started to eat again.
She is not completely restored, but the last day or so I have seen so much improvement in her. Today she ate her regular wet food on her own. I'm still feeding her a little bit of the prescription diet in the syringe and also a bit of KMR...
Yes I always thought this cat was so skinny and underweight, but the vet who examined her said that for her size she is just right.
The vet in town only carries Hill's brand. She used to like it. She seems to like it OK now too, she just doesn't have an appetite or will to eat on her own.
As for...
Thank you all so much for you continued support and replies!
I've followed your advices and she has gotten the full syringe dose today. She nibbled on some of her favorite dry food this evening, but we're talking one or two pieces then stopped. So she's still not eating on her own but all I can...
Just a little update and I need some more advice.
She's still being force fed, but she has started to show small attempts of eating on her own. Yesterday she licked in her food for a few seconds, and then later that day she ate 2 of the 4 cat treats I offered her.
Today, just minutes before...
She has not experienced anything unpleasant while eating, to my best knowledge.
I believe it was Cyproheptadine that the vet gave her yesterday, before we tried to offer the special food for her. But it didn't help at the moment, I thought maybe because she was really stressed being at the vet...
Yes, I think she walks away when she sees me. The last time it might have been because I just came home and she wanted to greet me (which she normally does when she is not sick). I just wish I knew if she actually ate or just had her head in the bowl smelling.
This cat always has been a bit...
Hi again!
I checked the carrier but it's dry. Her breathing is normal.
Today she is more active, walks around and talks to me etc and not just sitting around like yesterday.
I went out for a couple hours and when I got home she had her head in the food bowl again but I couldn't tell if she was...
