Thank you! I'll keep you guys posted!:sunshine:

Will do! Fingers crossed and hopes up. Thanks again:)

Good thinking! Thank you! I'm going to combine this with mamanyt1953's step-by-step plan. I totally forgot about the times that I've left the house and he'd eat wet food all by himself. Since I got laid off from work because of Covid I've been home for soooo long, and it's contributed to the...

This is a good plan. It's doable and makes so much sense given that cats tend to respond to baby steps. He's taken well to small steps before, like when I did collar training with him. Slow and steady. Thank you so very much!

Any tips on how to get a cat to go back to eating wet food from a dish rather than a hand after being sick? Last year my cat Oliver had a months-long GI issue of Chronic Enteropathy which plagued us with appetite/feeding problems. Hand-feeding was the only way to get him to eat most of the...

Anyone find Mirtazapine just suddenly stops working? We've been using the ear gel for a few weeks now (at a lower dose than the full 1.5 inch strip and not every single day but only when needed) and the past two doses have been unsuccessful for my cat Oliver. I actually gave him a higher dose...

Hope your little guy is still doing better! We got Oliver's results back: He has elevated B12 and low folate. B12 was off the charts. The vet is baffled, and the doc at the lab could only say it's definitely GI related malabsorption. Can't find much online about elevated B12 because it's so...

Aren't Persians the best?! They have such a sweet, sweet nature that I've never really seen in other breeds. My avatar pic is actually my Rainbow Bridge kitty Blondie, but Oliver himself is (of course!) Persian/Himalayan. I think if you ask any Persian owner they will tell you that once you've...

Oh my, I should have included the link for my other thread about the situation; I've been running on 3 or 4 hours of sleep for weeks and thought I'd posted it on Reddit, not here. I apologize for being inconsiderate. This has everything about Oliver

My kitty Oliver currently has no diagnosis and is being treated for low appetite/nausea. I'm comfortable with his dosing of prn which sometimes goes two days in a row, just wondering why there seems to be two camps? I guess I want to be aware if there is anything detrimental to consecutive days.

My vet is kind of iffy on giving trans-dermal Mirataz everyday, yet the other vet in the office says it's fine. I've also read anecdotes about some cat owners who say yes, everyday is okay, and others who give holidays and at most do every other day. My question is why this divide? Is it a...

Just wanted to wish you the absolute best for all that you're going through. My own kitty is going through something similar, but your situation is much more serious. I'm wondering, did they do the actual blood test for pancreatitis? The Spec FPL? I thought I'd read that normally they do the...

I wouldn't sweep with a broom, personally. The last thing wanted is something scary or threatening. Do you have any treats that you share with her on a regular basis? Any toys that make crazy noises? I find "luring" my cat out is a way better option than chasing him out with something. Any...

That's how I feel too, if it's NOT cystitis there's gotta be something going on with the urinary system. All his symptoms point to urinary, pretty much. From what I understand, corn silk acts as a mild diuretic, right?

Thank you! Yes, I thought Ohio state might be on the table, although she may have me consider one of the local specialists first. Usually the way it works here is if the specialist can't figure it out, then the "big guns" of OSU are brought in. I didn't even think it could be connected to an...
