Can anyone offer me any tips on syringe feeding? I'm struggling to get him to eat the amount the vet wants him to. He never has been a big eater and in a typical day he would eat a little dry food and a half portion of Sheba wet food. The vet wants him to eat at least half of a can of the...

The vet was happy with his progress today. She said his tongue is healing and he looks and smells better. And extra good news -- This afternoon my husband and I watched him drink water on his own for about 10-15 minutes straight. He had to put his chin in the dish but he figured it out.

His name is Nellie. I thought he was a girl for the first year he was here and the name had already stuck by the time I discovered he's actually a neutered male. I posted his picture on my profile. He's a very sweet guy and I hate that this happened to him. We've heard from other people that...

The bad portion of his tongue detached today. Now it's a waiting game to see if the rest of his tongue remains healthy. He was eating on his own today which is a good sign but I have not witnessed him drink water yet. The vet told us she can't say for sure if he will ultimately survive this...

I wanted to post another update. Over the weekend my cat started drooling blood tinged saliva. He stopped eating and drinking and was not in good shape at all. I took him to see a different vet. It turns out his teeth are not the problem. The vet discovered the front portion of his tongue...

The drooling has decreased some since his last appointment. He has an appointment for a recheck at the end of the week. I can't help thinking his tooth is the cause of this. When his vet showed me his tooth in February, it was almost black in color and had a lot of redness around it. I was...

He had x-rays taken on Feb 25th when he was scheduled for a tooth extraction. The vet said the x-rays showed that his tooth wasn't as bad as she originally thought and she cleaned all of his teeth instead. When I took him back to her on Thursday for a recheck, he had gained a pound since last...

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty passing away. :( Mine has been drooling for over a month now. He would drool before, but not as much as now. I'm gong to ask his vet if his kidneys are ok.

Just wanted to post a quick update. I took him back to the vet yesterday for a recheck. She seems a little puzzled by his continued drooling as well. His teeth are fine, he has no fever, he's eating and drinking and playing as usual. She gave him an antibiotic shot and an additive to put in...

He was given antibiotics after his cleaning. I'm not for sure if they were for his teeth or a scrape he had on his chest. I'm not sure of his age. He came with my house when I bought it. The vet estimates he is 7. He seems fine otherwise. I would notice him drooling some before his...

Last month I took my cat to the vet for a check-up. The vet said he had a bad tooth that needed extracted. We took him in a couple days later for the surgery. When we went to pick him up the vet told us that she took an x-ray and it turned out his tooth was still in good shape and didn't need...
