    Lip Entrapment and Loss of Appetite

    I have sad news to report. After showing some initial improvements with the feeding tube, our little buddy Winston suffered a ruptured bladder on 8/25. His skin suddenly started to turn yellow, his abdomen was swollen and you could see that he felt miserable. Our vet suggested that it was...

    Lip Entrapment and Loss of Appetite

    @daftcat75 and @aleeming hello. It's been a rough few weeks. We've had to force feed Winston and things were not getting any better. But, today we took him to the neurologist for an MRI. As it would turn out, he had inner ear infections in both ears with the left ear being particularly bad...

    Lip Entrapment and Loss of Appetite

    Hello @daftcat75 thanks for your reply. Winston also has the tooth resorption problem you described. We have tried every type of food we can image. At this point, we have to use a syringe squirt food in his mouth to get him to eat. It's not much but I'm hoping it will keep him going until we...

    Lip Entrapment and Loss of Appetite

    Hello. I need help. Our 10+ year old male cat Winston had his upper canine teeth removed three years ago. No problems until about three weeks ago. Winston suddenly lost the movement of his left ear and couldn't blink his left eye. He was placed on antibiotics. A week later a few of his rear...
