Is it possible to sprinkle some fortiflora on the food to see if she’ll eat it? You don’t need much. It has a flavoring in it cats tend to love.

I am so sorry to hear of Louise's passing. They leave such a gaping hole when they are gone. I'm sure she knows she was loved so much during a difficult time in her life. Hugs to you in this very sad time. :hugs: Chewy is a wonderful company that still has top notch customer service for sure!

I am a long time lurker but infrequent poster. I lost my beloved Gizmo on October 24th, 2023. I've been wanting to post a memorial to her for a long time but just couldn't. She got sick suddenly on July 2nd 2023. That night she ate her bedtime meal but only half, which is odd, then went...

I am currently going through the same thing as you and I feel your pain. It really sucks. Just the fact that you're on here questioning if you've done enough tells me you've done more than enough. You're a great cat parent. When our babies die, especially traumatically, we always want an...

@FeebysOwner thank you for the article and thread links. I have checked them all out. @mrsgreenjeens I will discuss adding the denamarin back in with my vet before I do it. I ended up ordering that plus pill masker in an attempt to not have to fight with her to take more pills. Hopefully she...

According to recent ultrasound results my cat has cholangiohepatitis, as part of triaditis, and inflammation of a part of her liver. This has been going on for 3 months now and I’ve finally come to the conclusion that it’s being Mis-managed. The pancreatitis part is being focused on but that...

They do have A/D and I am going there tonight to pick up more gabapentin anyway so I will just get some. I’m assuming you need to mix it with some water to make it a little thinner? The emeraid IS a pain. My phone always wants to turn emeraid to emerald 😂

Come to think of it I wonder if the anti-depressant properties of mirtazapine also help with her. Like she really does just look happier while on it 🤔

I am doing my best to get her daily calories into her but it’s a little difficult with the emeraid to determine exactly how many calories she’s getting. If I go by the mixing instructions on the bag they want slightly more powder to water. If I mix it like that I can’t get it through the...

A general question…has anybody actually given low doses of mirataz (as in 1/3 of the recommended strip) with a low dose of buprenex (as in .1ml) and did anything negative come of it? She really does so much better while getting the mirataz and getting proper nutrition. She hasn’t had any since...

@silent meowlook this picture is from last weekend. I'm only giving her a third of a dose of the Mirataz now but I can half it and see what happens. It's interesting how appetite stimulants work great if it's a food the cat already wants but if the cat doesn't like it they STILL won't eat it...

@silent meowlook I am supposed to be trying to get her to eat on her own in an effort to get the feeding tube out. Without any appetite stimulant she barely eats anything, which I know shows either nausea (which she’s on cerenia for, I tried zofran but it didn’t really make a difference), or...

@white shadow thank you for the helpful links. I have heard of both groups before but never pursued them as it was confusing how it worked so thanks for the explanation! @silent meowlook her tube is red. The ultrasonographer is not a specialist however she has been doing and reading...

Thank you for your response. I will check out the link for cat only vets. We do have one about a half hour away from us. I forgot to mention the denamarin in my original post but she was sent home on the denamarin and took it for 2 weeks or so until it was gone and her bloodwork since then...

I need help. My 12 year old cat has been struggling with this disease for two and a half months at this point. There is no known cause. Nothing foreign or toxic ingested, never had any signs of IBD. She was initially hospitalized for five days starting July 5th and she had a feeding tube...

I am not a vet but I do have some experience with tooth resorption, which is most likely why your kitty is missing two teeth seemingly out of the blue. Plaque and tartar won’t usually make teeth fall out in a cat but resorption does and it starts under the gum line and is usually hard to see...
