    Lethargic No Appetite

    To anyone who reads this an update about Daphne; The vet called me this morning and said that’s she’s doing great and can come home today.

    Lethargic No Appetite

    If anyone reading this has any experience with feline pancreatitis please let me know your story, treatment and diet. Brigitta is on the royal canine gastrointestinal dry food exclusively. Daphne toggles between can food with extra gravy and some dry food. I know she’ll need a stricter diet...

    Lethargic No Appetite

    Many many apologize! I was on holiday break and went back to work. Daphne seemed to bounce back for a few weeks but it all came back with excessive vomiting, lethargy, and suspected diarrhea. She also had a very picky appetite. Over the course of 3 days she vomited and remember I spoke of my...

    Lethargic No Appetite

    hello, I found this site when it was too late for my other baby Ellie. I had a very traumatic vet experience and medical treatment and ultimately had to take Ellie to the rainbow brigde. Now my other baby Daphne is ill. I’ve noticed symptoms for about a month. I’ve been hoping it’s been a...

    My Beloved Ellie

    Hi everyone, just wanted to give an update. The first cat I was interested in adopting never did the home visit. The foster mom emailed me late the night before and told me someone else was in line and adopted her first. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Subsequently I've shown interest in...

    My Little Boy

    I shed a tear reading your story and can relate to your pain. I had to make that dreadful decision 5 weeks ago and although it does get easier each day, there are many moments when I still cry. I too replay the final days, moments and think if only..... and maybe my baby girl Ellie could have...

    Really Struggling Right Now

    I wish I had the words to give you comfort but I'm in the same emotional state. I feel so sad and depressed. The house feels lonely and I wish I would see her in her favorite spots. Sometimes I wake up and think it's all been a nightmare and my Ellie will by my side as she always was. It's been...

    My Beloved Ellie

    Thank you all for taking time to read this. I apologize for being so long-winded... and this was me trying to be concise. After re-reading my entry, I realized I used 'frustrated' a lot, my frustration wasn't the angry type, it was fueled by hopelessness and despair. Each week I hoped for...

    My Beloved Ellie

    I went home and cried. I talked to my family and found this forum, I read countless stories of people with their own journey and the gut wrenching dilemma to continue treatment or take the pain away. I was a mess and super emotional. On that second day, I picked her up and demanded he remove...

    My Beloved Ellie

    After a small sense of relief, I spent the whole night researching FLD. Most information says cats who have this are 80% treatable and everyone recommended the e-tube. I just started my summer break and dedicated the next 10 weeks to Ellie, I never left my house for more than 4 hours at a time...

    My Beloved Ellie

    I always grew up with pets; dogs, cats and even horses. I gravitated toward cats at an early age since my sister chose to feed the dogs for her chores, I got the cats. My love of cats started at any early age. I would often be found laying on the patio, surrounded by the cats and singing...
