Thank you. I am not ignoring the ultrasound findings and that is why I asked the community if they had any recommendations for holistic/integrative vets. I haven't fed my cats dry food in years after I found out how unhealthy it was for them.

Hi daftcat75, Thank you so much for the information. Please be assured that I am considering all options and not disregarding medicines. We took him to a Vet who is an internal medicine specialist at MSU veterinarian hospital which is considered to one of the best in the country from what we...

Thank you. Sorry to hear that you fell down that rabbit hole too with your puppy. It was definitely a lesson learned the hard way for us. I went ahead and got insurance for Doc and our 3 other cats. We had an option with Nationwide through my husband's work that seemed reasonable compared to...

Hi helpful cat friends, I am writing to update on Doc. We took him to MSU small animal hospital last week for an abdominal ultrasound and echocardiogram. They also insisted on running his bloodwork and repeating a urine analysis which we had just had done the week before. They also did needle...

LOL! :lolup: You make a very good point here about the food. I also already ordered some ziwi brand venison cat food because I read it is higher in calories so can maybe lessen the number of syringes we are giving him. He did perk up a little the last couple of days which was such a relief...

Thank you, all of the replies I have received have really encouraged me. Doc tested negative for pancreatitis. The did give him sub q fluids yesterday and we have them also to give him at home but he doesn't love sitting still for them right now. We still have to figure out what is wrong so...

Hi daftcat75, Thank you for all the info and I love the pictures! They helped a lot. And what a beautiful girl you have. So, we spent all day at the vets yesterday, well Doc did and I sat out in the car anxiously waiting. He got the test for pancreatitis and it was negative. The vet...

Thank you daftcat75 so much for this information. I will ask the vet to check his teeth today as I am not sure if the other vet checked them. He has never had dental xrays recommended. And I will ask about pancreatitis again. That's what the original vet thought it might be and thought it...

Thank you so much for the reply fionasmom. Yes, I see what you are saying about getting more definitive information from the vet which I am hoping we will get from the follow up visit tomorrow. He has not vomited or had diarrhea. I will post what I find out tomorrow. Thanks again.

Hi and thank you for the welcome. This is my first time joining a cat forum. I have 4 wonderful cats who I adore. My oldest (15) recently feel ill (13 days ago), he was perfectly fine one day and the next became lethargic and stopped eating. We thought he might just have a virus but after he...
