Just found out hyperthyroidism can cause diarrhea and terrible smell. Kind late....by 3 years

OMG I am a bragger Lowell it's 3 years lAter and I know about jacks hit percent of what I THOUGHT I did. Sigh. Learned a lot past 3 years. I say to everyone...research stuff BEFORE it happens and don't get arrogant and think you know what you're doing . Sigh

I'm sad to see no George yet, but I love reading all of the compassionate discussions on this thread in particular, so many of you I want to hug and say thank you for caring for needy cats. I dfo the same and know how overwhelming and heart breaking it can be but it's worth it in the end. I'm...

It could be an unopened abscess. It will be hard, swollen, hot, and painful. The hair may be missing due to licking or just the swelling and infection may cause. If it has opened on it's own it can be shocking to someone who's never seen that, especially a large one, but it will look like a red...

Hi! I still check back once in awhile. Sorry to see no good news YET. <3

no prescription...

i buy wormer from a medical supply company. Strongid.

I kept a big oversized apron inside the room I handled isolation kitties and covers for shoes. It is a pain in the butt but it becomes routine after a few days. And don't freak out if you screw it up. All you can do is try :)

You can practice isolation in a crate in bathroom just as well as outside I think unless she's sneezing and spraying everywhere which it doesn't sound like. You do need to practice isolation techniques though either way...Just think of everything...shoes/feet, hands/clothing, litter box scoopers...

ahhhh somebody beat me to it :)

and as long as she's eating SOMETHING you don't have to get worried sick that she's gonna keel over, she should start re-developing an appetite as she gradually eats more. Also nobody suggested giving her a bathroom and shutting the door. It might just be too overwhelming for her. Many cats will...

is it possible to pull couch out from wall just a little bit and put litter box behind it for now. Or put food and water right where she's been pooping.

To clarify...10 days missing (while I was in hospital) PLUS the 2 weeks I looked for her...over 3 weeks missing and she's a very old girl. I know George has been gone longer but never lose hope! He's much younger too. Guess what! Muffett is still here and still the driveway diva <3

You know, I read your updates and just have to tell you I fall in love with you a little more every time! (NOT in a weird pervert way!!) You are very inspiring and I love anybody who loves cats as you do. I laughed thinking of all the cats you've been feeding in your kitchen. I always check in...

he's sooooo handsome...

Well I can't believe no one suggested Coccidia or giardia. And they can have either one of those without having diarrhea believe it or not. Vet techs arent' alwyas good at reading slides either. Get your hands on some proper medication for Coccidia and see if it doesn't clear up. Ask...

Never give up hope and try to visualize him safe and sound and being loved by somebody. Keep looking while reassuring yourself that such a handsome boy would be picked up and brought home by someone. You have so much advice here that I am just giving you a big hug and reaffirming you might be...

Really?!!! I love that!! I'm inspired...maybe other non-cat people are swayed in a positive direction more than I thought. I should give the human race a little more credit. May good karma rain down upon you :)
