Well guys, unfortunately Mickey was a little too past the saving point. He got a lot worse, and lost more weight. I had to put him down 2 weeks ago. I just couldn't write about it until then. It was the best for him even though it kills me. But i'm glad he's not suffering anymore. Thank you...

Ya, the pill shooter might work. Hitting the back of the throat used to make my cat cough. I just always had better luck using my hands because i can get close to their mouth and just put it in. The calming stuff is ok. I've used it before too, but it can calm them down quite a bit.  He might...

My cat was stubborn too. He also was too smart for trying to mask the pill, he always knew it was there. And using a feeding syringe with liquid made him cough. I eventually just had to give him the pill manually. Just hold his head and put your fingers in the side of his mouth so he opens up...

I've had 6 different cats through my life. I recently had one who had hyperthyroidism then lymphoma. The constant eating and begging for food is part of the hyperthyroidism. Mine did the same thing. Always begging in the kitchen. Tried to grab your food when you weren't watching. When you put...

I think you are right about the nausea. He's had the stimulant for about a week now. Unlike most i've seen the alternate vet i had to see prescribed once a day. He hasn't really had an appetite except one day. Now he just turns away from any food I offer him. He hasn't vomited yet, so that's a...

He started eating today!!! I got up and he meowed at me so i put him on the ground and he went straight to his regular food bowl. I don't know what changed from me force feeding him last night but i'm so happy i had to post. I hope this means he's getting better. I know it's not permanent but...

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone know how long it should take for depomedrol to start working and helping the tumor to shrink? I'm having to force feed him with a syringe right now, because he's not eating on his own. The tumor is putting pressure on his intestines so he's not wanting to eat...

Wow that got messed up. She gave me mirtazapine. Sorry I couldn't edit my last post lol

Ok. He still hasn't eaten more than a few bites for 3 days. My vet wasn't in so another one gave me . First-round after I asked for a appetite stimulant. She gave me 7.5mg half a pill twice as day. From what I've been reading that is way too much. Is that right? Should he have a anti-nausea med...
