We called our Vet since Mac was crying a lot. Vet said to give him gebapentin. We did that and Mac died 20mins later. He was in his favorite spot. He died a very painful death. We just dropped him at the Vet for cremation. This is a very painful experience and I still see him everywhere in the...

@amandag1, He is on Convenia. The site has been oozing lots of puss(pinkish color) today. We have been doing warm compressing as instructed by the vet. He is extremely miserable right now, his breathing is very hard and labored. He cries often too. Its a very tough night. Every time he cries...

Thanks @zed xyzed. I will call Vet tomorrow morning to see if antibiotic test were done and if debridement is an option.

Guys, Thanks for you help and support. Last two days were extremely hard. We have hit a new low like never before. Mac has stopped walking completely. His voice has changed and breathing is very laborious. He tries to tell us when its time to poop and pee and if we miss the signal, he does it...

Hi @FeebysOwner, @Mamanyt1953 Thanks for the reply. We took him to the Vet today and his wound site(where the leg amputation surgery stitches are) is infected internally. He did xrays and blood tests as well and said everything looks good except the infection. He said his change in behavior...

Our Male cat Mac had one of his back leg amputated last Thursday due to a infection(supposedly triggered by weak immune from fatty liver) that started eating his leg away. He was surprisingly doing well for the next 3 days after surgery which included lots of purring and also able to walk. We...

Thanks guys for all ur support, love and guidance. Mac is going in for his surgery this coming Thursday. He is showing some interest in food, drinking water and also eating catnip. He is also been able to poop(we have been giving him Lactaluse). He is purring 2 to 3 times a day and being cuddly...

Thanks guys, We have decided to call the vet first thing tomorrow morning and get the next available appt for the surgery. One thing we are concerned though is the pain after the surgery since the Vet said giving pain meds would be bad for his liver. @daftcat75, We have been roughly feeding...

@Furballsmom, Sorry guys, I haven't posted lately. Mac's liver is getting better and the tube has been also working great. But his leg infection has been worsening(despite us cleaning and changing his bandages atleast 2 times a day) to the point where the bone is melting away and it needs to be...

heres a pic of him relaxing from yesterday

Hi @Leomc123 , This has been a good week for Mac. We were able to feed 400 to 500 calories per day. He is able to walk(although still limping). He doesn't urinate on himself anymore and either asks for help or goes to the box himself(we got him a new litter box with very low walls). He is still...

Mac is 23 lbs. How many calories should we be feeding him? Right now, we are targeting 400 calories/day. Is that enough? Also, do you think "Honest Kitchen's Grain-Free Chicken Recipe Dehydrated Cat Food" is OK for mac right now? It has 576 calories per cup. We feed Mac 3/4th cup of that...

Hi guys, We did do a online consult with a vet on Sunday and he gave us some ideas on what could be going on. We took Mac to our local vet first thing this morning. They diagnosed him with cellulitis infection on one of the back legs. Vet said this probably happened due to poor immune system...

@Leomc123 , I am deeply sorry for your loss. That might have been a lot to go through with both of your cats. Macs backlegs are either room temperature or warm. Also he is able to move them in the air just not able to stand on them. Thanks

I forgot to mention that apart from the constipation issue, he was still doing OK till our friday morning visit to the Vet. Before taking to the Vet, he was limping but still able to walk and move around everywhere. But after he got back, he was unable to move at all. His left leg is swollen and...
