Tiggy

Thank you for your kind words of support. The most difficult times are not waking up to his sweet face in the morning (he liked to lay on our chest. He'd alternate to share the love), and coming home to not having him greet us with meows and stretching up to be picked up and cuddled. He will be...

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the enormous pain, as I am going through it now as well. Especially as you suffer with your mental health, care good care of yourself now. Get grief counselling if you can, and or visit your doctor. Please seek all the help you can to get through these...

On Sat Aug 5 we decided it was time. We had tried all that we could, but Scribbles' tumor was too large and intestinal cancer was taking his life. He went downhill very quickly the last 5 days, and the amazing cat we knew and loved was already gone. He barely ate a few bites, lost weight...

Sorry to not respond for awhile. Very stressful times. Thanks to all who supported me. Funny how only one negative, judgemental person turns one off a site like this. Surgery wasn't an option, btw. The conventional vet recommended euthanasia. But we didn't want to give up, and some of the...

I know that came on strong. I am not blaming you. I used to listen to my vet, then people who told me dry was ok if it was grain and by product free. However, when Scribbles was on his death bed with IBD I started talking to more knowledgeable people and doing a lot of research. Get him off...

My cat Tiggy is a rescue who we found hanging around our house. When we got close to him we discovered he had a nylon collar (not breakaway obviously) embedded in the back of his neck. He had gotten one leg through but of course since nylon will not break, he was trapped. The collar had to be...

Please don't blame yourself. You were very proactive, and since the bloodwork came up ok, it likely came on very quickly. I know it is awful to have them die rather than be put down peacefully, as I experienced this too. (I was waiting for my husband to get home to take her in as she was in...

I'm so sorry to hear this. Big hugs to you and Shadow.

I'm sorry to hear this. So stressful. What are the shots and other medication she is receiving? Did you get blood work done? I would so that as it can tell you a.lot about what is going on. Best to have the vet make a diagnosis and find out the problem before continuing treatments, especially as...

I just want to say that I feel your pain. I have gone through it before, and am there again now with my cat Scribbles. Like you, I saved him before. I was treating his IBD with homeopathic remedies and it worked. So of course I also want it to work now. But inoperable cancer is just too much to...

In contrast, thanks Katlady for sharing your story, even though it must've been difficult. I appreciate the support and sharing of stories to not feel like I'm the only one. I am so sorry for your loss. Don't beat yourself up about the what ifs. I know that's easier said than done. Many times I...

Mewcatmew you sound like a vet... closed minded. The reason it isn't mainstream is because Americans and Canadians are mostly raised to beleive that whatever doctors or vets say is the only option. Its sadly our culture Whenever any alternatives work they deny it. It's stupid really because...

Thank you for those kind and positive words! This is him "camping" today with Tiggy (in the background). They love these pop up cat tents

I just want to say I feel your pain. When we suspected a chicken allergy I likewise was reading a lot of labels and finding chicken liver in almost everything. Natures Instinct was off and on with supplying their LID to Canada so was not reliable for us. Luckily our guy could do fish and duck...

I have had the same issue with 1 IBD cat, 1 cat who walks away and one overweight piggy "Tiggy" cat who will eat it all given a chance Likewise we do the lock up and a lot of hovering and putting food away if it's not eaten right away. Trying to watch is hard because if you turn your head for a...

I don't want to get too excited but Scribbles had a BM and is eating much better. His weight is up a smidge. He seems more himself too, and without any pain meds masking things. I know things like this can be up and down like a roller coaster, so am I crazy to have some hope?

So sorry to hear what you're going through. It sounds quite similar to my ordeal except until now the weight loss wasn't as extreme and when he ate regularly again he put it back on. Seems you have had success with the nausea meds. Can i ask what you used? I have had luck with Cerenia...
