Dear Forum Members: Little Satya died today. After one month of refusing to take food or water on her own, she was put down at the vets office. I prolonged her death by feeding her baby food and water with a dropper, but on Monday she looked bad and had started throwing up the water. I called...

Hi Stephanietx: Thank you for your email and emergency advice. I will post to the forum in a minute, but little Satya died today. The pus in the eyes was the minor problem as it turns out, but the not eating food or water for 1 month on her own was what did it. Catharine

Hi Forum Members: Does anyone have a suggestion for my sick Persian cat that now has pus in one eye? I will call the vet tomorrow but for today if anyone has a natural remedy I would like to try it. I put one drop of castor oil in the eye yesterday and the eye looked ok but not great. Today now...

Hi Libby: Thanks for your email back on Satya. I will do as you say and give her more food and water. Interestingly the vet said she was hydrated and her gums looked good and that 2 tbs her day was enough for her to live on until her appetite returned! Satya [in Hindu means beloved] Do you...

Hi Hidester81: Sounds like she may have worms itching butt. Also, you may put her on dry cat food so that her stools will be firmer and she will feel cleaner after leaving the litter box. If she still does the butt rubbing then it is definitely worms. I would take her to the vet and let them...

Hi Papa: Thank you for your message. Yes, I have been feeding her from the side of her mouth and she does try to chew the food a little. All canned cat food is balled up and spit out, as she learned quickly to do this. So, now I am mixing a small amount of canned cat food in the baby food meat...

Hi Libby: Thank your for your message and suggestions for feeding Satya! I try to get more food down her. Have you ever heard of a cat virus like this before? Also, this morning pus started forming in one of her eyes. I put one drop of castor oil in the eye, as this is a homeopathic remedy when...

Thank you for your message of support. Yes, if she was unable to keep the food down then I would have to return to the vet, but so far she is still the same. Not eating on her own yet, but I am hopeful that soon she will return to normal. Have you ever heard of a cat virus like this before...

Thank you for your prayers for little Satya. She is still about the same and I keep hoping that any day now she will begin eating on her own. May God Bless, Catharine

Dear Forum Members: I wanted to thank everyone that gave me suggestions on how to feed my Persian Cat that has been unwilling to eat or drink since 3-13-06. I started using the baby food meat - for 2month olds as it is pureed enough that they do not need to chew it. I was able to get about 1...

Hi Charmed: Thank you for the advice! I will get some meat baby food tomorrow and try the blender for the food before I throw it all out. Catharine

Dear Forum members: I would appreciate any advice or ideas as to what my be wrong with my cat. She became sick on 3/13 and would not eat or drink, by Wednesday two days later she was taken to the vet and they put her on IV to give her fluids, an antibiotic shot, a steroid shot, a nausa shot...
