I joined this website about a week ago. I was looking for advice for my kitty, Tiger. What he was battling was odd. He ate ALL the time, played, cuddled, talked, ECT. When he doesn't feel well, he isolates himself. So I was very confused. I was talking with some other members and updating them...
Thank you for your words. Here is a picture of him for now. His name was Tiger. Could never get enough kisses or cuddles. He originally wasnt my cat, and I took him in. But that's a story for another time.
We'll get this. I take his sample into the vet at 230. They say it will take 10 mins. So I wait around....for an HOUR. The lady says "we can call you when it's ready" so I go home. Call several times and still isn't ready. I call 30 mins before the close and they the put me on hold for 7 mins...
He ate a big can of wet cat food and a bowl full of kibble last night. And then this morning he ate an entire can of wet food with his probiotics. So far his bottom is fine. I think it leaks when he has bad diarrhea due to the fact that he has problems holding it. Maybe age is getting the better...
He was previously eating fish only food. Ever since this entire situation he's been eating chicken. Things are the same as of now. His bottom did not leak today, but it's off and on.
I understand what you're saying about the labs being perfect. I personally have not seen the labs but she looked at them and her co-worker veterinary looked at them. when we were in the room she really just stood there like she was at a loss of what could be wrong with him. That is why she just...
Cancer was never brought up. Not that it isn't possible, but when I look up side effects of so many cancers, he doesn't have any of them. Yes weight loss is a sign of cancer, but "not eating/anorexia" go hand in hand. This cat eats all. The. Time!!! And also a leaky bottom has never come up as a...
Trying to answer all questions above!
He weighed 15 pounds in March. He was eating the same food. No change in anything. I always called him a yo-yo dieter because he gains weight in winter and sheds it (plus some in summer). So I shook off the weight loss for awhile until it became extreme. The...
We had a CBC, thyroid test (she thought this was causing weight loss), diabetes (also weight loss), and stool sample. All came back with nothing. They thought he had a bacterial infection and prescribed amoxicillin (which did make his stools loose and is expected with antibiotics). She also...
Sorry, bland wet food. That was the only advice the vets gave. I also give him probiotics once a day. I asked vet how to help him gain weight, they said wet kitten food. So he gets that once-twice a day
I changed him to band wet food and kitten food (to help him gain weight). I live in a small town with limited options. Also took him to ER vet and they had no idea what was wrong with him either. His entire life, his stools have been semisolid. No change in stools. Just leaking
My 11 year old Kitty has had a leaky bottom. Some days it will be perfectly fine, other days, it's horrible and smells. I am constantly grooming and cleaning his bottom to try and help. I had his anal glands emptied, and they said they were full, but his bottom still continues to leak. I've also...
