Our cat is a 7 year old Snow Bengal in remission with Bowel Cancer.
He started 2 days ago with Chronic Diareaha which we have been treating with Slippery Elm tablets, as instructed by our vet and homeopath.
Over night he has deteriorated dramatically, and I really think we are losing him.
The vet advised NOT travelling him as he does not tolerate journeys or new people and sinks rapidly into a deep depression with new interactions. The vet said any strangers in his life, will probably kill him right now. We have had a long in depth talks and exchange of media files via computer, and the vet has said it is best we try to remedy this at home, with hourly feeds and water, and Slippery Elm. We have sort three other opinions and all have come back with the same viewpoint that it is probably too late to save him.
His weight has dropped over the last few days, and this morning I find he is completely tucked up and drawn in. The change is horrific in just 12 hours. I feel terribly guilty. He is terribly weak but still eats on his own, and has just had 3quaters of half a fillet of mackeral - the only thing he'll eat right now, which was in Brine - I know, its salty
He has had this morning 1 and half Slippery elm, and his appetite is poor. He finds it exhausting to stand.
Are there any safe human meds and / or rehydration fluids that can be given to him. I know anti diarreoal tablets always work immediately for me, so I am, perhaps clutching at straws to help my poor boy. Its just an idea. Any other suggestions are all appreciated.
His vet is the leading vet on his breed for the UK and his Homeopath is considered the expert in his field. We are based in London, UK.
Urgent advice is sought for my poor cat, please.
