Hey there!  I have a senior kitty who doesn't seem to be consistently gaining weight. I've had her for approx 6 months and she has put on some (spine is not as prominent) but doesn't seem to be gaining anymore. Vet thinks she has IBD. I feel her 4health dry and Friskies wet (she seems to...

This sounds great! No, I have not seen her full purrsonality! She is only now beginning to even groom herself again, poor thing. She only weighed 4.0lbs when I took her in, but I am finally starting to see the "cat" in her come out, thank goodness! 

Great drawing!! To be honest, I don't really know what type of play she enjoys, as she doesn't really play. I've tried to promote it with several different types of toys, including catnip, and she could care less. Every now and then I can get her to play for 5 seconds with my hand...that's...

Hi ya'll (yes, I am from TX!) I recently took in a senior stray kitty. She is just now beginning to play, climb, and "investigate", as she has had a rough 4+ mos battling something (IBD, maybe). The hubby has volunteered to build her a cat tree, and as I've never owned a cat before, I'm...

Update: So far, so good! She hasn't been back to the vet for a weigh-in, but I can feel she has gained some significant weight! For the first time, I saw her play and "spaz" around the house. She is much more talkative and her appetite is healthy! She's like a whole new cat :) I'm not sure...

Thank you, Angels Mommy! Unfortunately, Care Credit is not an option, as I am currently not employed (full-time student). Thank you, hexiesfriend, I hope so too!

Okay, well I just looked and they did check glucose. I do remember the vet stated she gave her a shot, but there isn't a charge for it listed on my bill so I don't know what it was. I can call and ask. Yeah, she hasn't vomited, had diarrhea, or constipation. I figure there would be some kind of...

It is awful not knowing. She has been much, MUCH better a few days after receiving fluid. She seems to always be better after fluids. All of her blood tests have been normal so far. I believe they tested her glucose, but I'll have to get into her paperwork to be sure. A ketone stick is a great...

Thank you for all the warm welcomes! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! @ laralove - she  was eating one 5.5oz can a day...some days only 1/2 a can. Yesterday  she ate 3 cans! Which is the most she has eaten in the 4 mos I've had her. I've fed her just about everything under the sun from...

First, let me start off by saying hello! I am a newbie to this forum and about losing my mind over my cat's poor health, so, I was hoping some of you may give me some ideas since you have experience with felines. So...I took in my cat who was a stray approx 4 months ago. (my 1st cat!) She...
