Alright I tried to take some pics of him but he didn't want to sit still so I gave him treats. He kept wanting to rub up against me so I couldn't snap his picture! Anyway, here's a couple pics, not the best, but you can kinda see his coloring and him eating some treats!  I almost captured his...

Thanks so much!! I'll have to post a new current pic of him! Sorry I hadn't updated recently, last week when his appetite started coming back I think I held my breath the whole time... I was so nervous that anything I said or did could jinx our progress so I just took cues from him and his...

So sorry to hear about Chadwick! I hope he recovers quickly!!  Howard is doing very well! He's been eating on his own, about 2 cans of Fancy Feast a day, but he's not keeping any weight on so I'm going to start doing one force-feeding a day again. I haven't had to give him one for over a week...

LOL   You know I will!!   All of his poops have been slowly turning into "normal" poops, today's being super normal! I don't know if it's the Fortiflora (which I'm still giving him, I mixed it in all his feedings yesterday and today) or what, but I'm not going to change what I'm feeding him...

The emergency vet said it was her #1 suspicion, and his regular vet said she was highly suspicious it was just stress as well, due to moving in a new home and otherwise having a very healthy record. He does have a reaction to rabies vaccinations so we have to give him benadryl before each...

Also, I forgot to mention that his output has been really good! He had a #2 this morning that looked completely normal, it wasn't "black" or runny or anything.  He is still quite yellow, but it can take a while for that bilirubin to flush through his system. As long as he has an appetite and is...

Quote: This!! It sounds like Howard. He's doing a lot of licking, and not so much wanting to get solids in his mouth, but he was so ravenously licking the Fancy Feast that he ended up "accidentally" eating some. I've been feeling like he's forgotten how to eat since before the diagnosis, but I...

I haven't yet, but I'm going to the grocery store today so I'll pick some up. It was really exciting that he was interested in food. He didn't touch anymore of it though after this, and I didn't give him anymore feedings either. So he had good TLC last night and this morning, and I'm about to do...

So we’re dwindling in the feedings… this won’t be that great of an update.   Yesterday Howard only got 4 ounces total because he stepped in his own pee in the litter box, then proceeded to lay on that foot without bothering to clean himself. His face/neck have been difficult to clean after each...

Right?? I don't know why I didn't think of this right away! It's odd to "schedule" cuddle time, but that way I can dedicate a half hour or more to just loving on him. This morning I was in there for an hour just petting and loving on him, and it was a good hour between that and his sub-q fluids...

Is the video this one? I do his pretty much the same way except he's facing me on my lap and more upright. I can't seem to get a good angle if he's facing away from me, and I can really see where the food goes in that position. I did get the cat bag and syringes and they're working great! I...

Well we just got back from the vet, there's some good news and not-so-good news. We did get the Fortiflora, just to help his digestive system and to perhaps perk his appetite as well. Overall the vet said he looked better as far as disposition and energy levels. He weighed 9lbs even, which is...
