This will be the last update on this thread. Unfortunately, it is bad news... both Tigger and Zowey didn't make it through the weekend. Zowey was still not eating and wasn't even trying to eat... so we had to do that on Saturday. Tigger kept trying to eat, but wasn't eating much. We had him on...

OH MY GOD! HE'S FINALLY EATING SOMETHING! FYI, I have to recommend this video capture setup I have - free software called iSpy on the windows PC that connects wirelessly to an old/leftover cellphone (GalaxyS3 in this case) running a free app called "IP Webcam". A great, free way to use old...

Just to be clear, we'll try whatever palliative things we can... and we'll keep trying to get them to eat anything... here's to hoping something clicks!

Well, the results from the ultrasound are in. He was not cooperative with the process, so he had to be sedated. They let him come home today anyway, as they agreed that the best chance we have to get him to eat is to have him home... he was way too stressed at the vet. Anyway, result is that he...

Omeprazole is a capsule. We thought about opening it and putting it into some food, but the challenge now is that he's not eating at all. Even his favorite treat which he would run across the room for and swallow whole... he's not eating that either. It's so sad. We'll see what we can do, once...

Yesterday was a rough day for Tigger. He threw up all day long, about every 3 hours. We couldn't get him to eat anything (probably since he was nauseated)... but he was still pretty active and lively, so we didn't panic too much (of COURSE we panicked a little!). By morning, it started to look a...

Thanks again, duckpond. Just to recap, the food is always left out overnight... it just doesn't always get eaten. Tigger has access to dry food as well (on a table, so the other one doesn't gorge herself on it herself... she's a little dumb that way, haha). We did buy a timer-feeder, with the...

Tigger's vet results are back. No diabetes or hyperthyroidism. WBC was elevated in such a manner that the vet thinks he may have a parasite or worm. He prescribed Profender, which we just gave him (yes, I have read about the things to watch out for, so we'll keep an eye out). Bloodwork-wise, the...

I keep forgetting to mention another thing: We don't think it's a food intake issue, because his weight is holding steady. We actually track both cats weight about once a month or so, and he is actually up in weight (he's at 12 lbs now versus his lowest of 11.5 lbs about 6 months ago)... Also...

Aren't cats great?! They'll bury if they don't like it... or if they want to save it. Yeesh, use your words, felines! :) Seriously, though, thank you all for the continued ideas and tips. We have an appointment Thursday so we'll see what happens then. In the meantime, the vet suggested feeding...

Thank you all for the great info. Always good to have a new set of eyes/minds on the matter! You've already given me a few ideas. For example, duckpond and 1bruce1, mentioned that the covering up means they don't necessarily like it. He did love this food before, but maybe he's gotten bored of...

Long time reader, first time poster... thanks for this excellent site! We have two relatively old cats (both "mutts" from shelters). This post is about the second one ("Tigger", 16 yo, male, black, I am told he maybe half-Siamese, from the white strands of fur at the top of his chest). He is...
