Well, El Tigre seems to be acting more and more like himself, but he is still having some issues. Yesterday and today he has puked up what looks like most of everything he has eaten. Obviously its pretty hard to tell. He did poop a little this morning, and while it was pretty 'runny', it...
Just a quick update to say that El Tigre is definitely showing signs of improvement. He isn't eating at his normal pace yet, but he I have seen him eat and drink on his own and he is getting in enough food over the course of the day to sustain himself. He is also finally meowing to get out of...
Just got back from our regular vet (instead of the ER). To my amazement and pleasure, he did manage to eat a (very) small bit of food on his own at the vets office when they offered it to him. He also got another dose of fluids with some vitamins and an appetite stimulant. They tried to give...
I had a tubby kitty too for a while. For me, getting him to lose weight was just a matter of reducing his access to food. He basically got fed less then what we was getting before. He was on a special urinary diet food (Royal Canin), so I wasn't going to switch brands... I just reduced quantity.
I'm sorry you are going through this. I know how hard it can be when your furry friends are sick and can't tell you what they want or need.
Just my own two cents here, but it sounds like Benny is doing pretty well right now, so I would personally be hesitant to put him through something like...
I should have added that no, there has been no change in his diet on my end. He gets Science diet and an occasional pouch of wetfood and dental treats (Greenies).
These are all possibilities as he does go outside. I can't say for sure about plants... I don't have much of anything in my yard, but I can't speak for the neighbors.
I wasn't aware of that, so thank you for sharing.
This whole episode is really been bothering me, mainly because nobody can tell me what is going on or what caused it. I've dealt with cat health problem before.... lost 1 cat to CRF (she decided she was not willing to take sub-q fluids and I...
Thanks. I already have the metro stuff in pills and we have been successfully using those since yesterday.
I just managed to get a few bites of wet food into him by dropping it in like pills. He also rolled over for belly rubs (his favorite) and purred for the first time since he has been...
Apologies in advance for a long post.
Poor little El Tigre (1.5 years old) is not a happy kitty right now. I came home from work on Monday and found a large pile of vomit on my closet. We have two cats, so I wasn't sure which one it was. But cat puke happens at times, so I wasn't concerned. ...
