she's always hungry, but everything she eats goes right thru her. really gassy, watery diarrhea. losing so much weight. been to several vets and no diagnosis. we've tried prednisoloe, antibiotics, b12 shots, Pancray plus powder, gavapentin... nothing helps.

ok i'll try that....should i put olivia back in the bathroom where she originally was or should i put her somewhere different?

i did have them separated...olivia had the bathroom for about 3 weeks.  then olivia left the bathroom and took her new spot under the platform....i havent tried the scent swapping blanket thing but its probly too late for that since they already know about each other

i have 2 cats:   booty (female- age 3) and a CH kitty named downsy (male- 10 months).  they get along great...but we recently took in a friends cat named olivia.  she is 8 years old.   they dont get along at all.  i'll try to make this short as possible.  olivia basically hides under a platform...

thanks!  its always comforting to know i'm doing something correctly :)

thanks for sharing your cats experiences,  maewkaew.   my cat seems to be doing pretty well this last few days... he's eating and drinking, solid poops.  but he did vomit clear liquid this morning.  i'm giving him Pepcid ac in hopes that will calm his stomach acid.  ran out of bup a few days ago...

I've been giving my cat steroids (prednisolone)  for 7 days and he seems much better now...he has pancreatitis and tumors on liver and spleen.  do you need to taper off the pred after 7 days?  or only after 2 weeks or more?

I tried to give the buprenex to him on his gums this time...he's chillin now so it seems to be working alright.  he ate like a pig today.  so today is a good day.  i'll try to give the bup slower next time...  its so hard to see if he's in pain or not... sometimes he will be acting perfectly...

today he's been laying in the litter box for long periods of time and he will pee while he's in there laying down....he'll come out and pace around the room, take a bite or two of food and brief drink of water then he goes right back and lays in the box.  he purrs when I come to pet him.   he...

this would be the 3rd time with pancreatitis.  dumbdumb (my cats name- I know how wrong it sounds but it was a funny nickname that just stuck for some reason).. anyway, 7 years ago he had kidney failure and I was told I  should put him down.  the vet said they could try iv fluids but they didn't...

my cat still can't sleep and I cant sleep either as a result.  the vet sent my cat home with buprenorphine to keep him comfortable since his prognosis was very poor.  I went back to the vet twice since then and I asked for steroids and the next day I asked for a scrip to give him sub q. fluids...

he also seems to be having a lot of trouble sleeping... almost falls asleep but cant quite do it

I know exactly what you're going thru...I told my cat "when you go, I go"  because after he's gone i'll have no real purpose anymore.  of course, I know I will go on with my life.  so, its nice to read about how rosie has gotten somewhat better and is acting like her old self.  I know what a...

thanks for your link and suggestions!!  much appreciated ,...after reading your response i set up another litterbox closer to him...and he used it right away... he uses both...but the new one he mostly just lays in it for awhile.  then he paces back and forth and gets back in bed..  I've been up...

just recently found out he also has mast cell tumors on his liver and spleen along with pancreatitis again at a very high spec fpl test result was 14.1.  low rbc and white bc,  but kidneys are in normal range.. he's 17 years old and my options are to put him down, or to keep him as comfortable...
