My 3 yr old cat Tiger has been diagnosed with idiopathic diarrhea. The vet said they don't normally have a full life and that I should start feeding him non-diet food. I've been feeding him Iams weight control for awhile now. Does anyone know anything about this disease? How long he might live...
I said this in my first reply:
"I'm not allowed to let him wander the house at night what with all the things he likes to scratch and whatnot, so he just stays in my room."
But I think i will let him tonight. He's only peed in the house once so i think he will be fine, i'm just hoping he doesnt...
So, he was born July 19, 2005, we still have his mom, but I left for Boston August 20 '05 and shortly after that, he and his mom left and didnt come back again till January (the time I came back home). I would suppose he's been doing this since I started giving him less food, even though he...
Hi Persi,
Yes i tried it and he didn't like it He also has a little scratching post that sits beside my bed that he uses. I'm sure he just does this because either he wants out of my room or wants more food (even though I give him enough already). I'm not allowed to let him wander the house at...
My cat has been driving me crazy! Hes over a year old, outside-inside cat (sleeps with me in my room overnight) and lately I just can't get to sleep. Every so often, he'll go to the door and start scratching up the carpet till i get up and scold him. Then he'll do it again. Eventually i'll give...
Hi! Sorry I haven't updated.
Tiger is doing good now, he apparently had subclinical pneumonia and the vet gave me some Clavamox to give him. He's doing so much better already! Thanks everyone
Update:
so last night before I went to bed, i saw some green diarrhea (i think) on the fur around Tiger's butt, I'm not sure what that might mean, but I took him in this morning and the vets are keeping him overnight so they can check a stool sample. He didn't have a fever when I brought him in...
Hi
My cat Tiger is 11 months old and since yesterday or maybe even earlier, he hasnt been eating. This morning he had a little bit of steak and that was it except for a little licking at some other things. He's also pretty much been sleeping all day..Every once in awhile he might play a little...
Well, actually, my dad pretty much doesnt care about them at all. A long time ago, a stray came and he actually SHOT it Nothing I say will ever change his mind. Plus I think it would be impossible to try and teach Tiger how to use a litterbox. He'd end up peeing and pooping everywhere, or keep...
lol, yeeah i know..but i cant :-\\ my dad would probably literally die if i said i was keeping him inside for good.. He's a pretty good cat though, he doesn't ever pick fights with anyone. except my hands..he'll only playfight. I'm just wondering is this a little phase he's going through? will...
Oh, believe me, I wish I could but my parents say strictly outside. Dad doesnt like cats and mom doesn't like the shedding, scratching..We have around 11 outside cats, alot of strays come over cause i feed them, so..But yeah..I'd love it if he could stay inside.
So I have a neutered male kitty not yet 8 months old, he's an outside cat, but i always always bring him inside. He used to LOVE coming in, but lately he hasn't been coming back till about 4-6 pm after not seeing him till the night before. He also wants outside about 10 minutes after bringing...
Poor Az! I started reading this and I just couldn't stop, had to see how your baby was doing Poor little guy having to go through so much..my prayers are with you! Hope Az just gets better and better
Yeah, I'd like to be able to get him in right away...no other vet by us, I called the closest one and they had an answering machine, so I left a message..I'm just really worried about him..Anyone know whats the worst that could happen?
Well, i'm not quite sure. The thing is, my cat Rosie had him in july, and in august I left for maine. Rosie and Tiger both left for quite awhile, my mom didn't see him again until late december and I came back in january. So, sometime between august and december his tail broke. I thought it...
