Thank you for your replies. I stopped the medication. When the clinic opened, I called in and the vet said to put the medicine on that night and the next morning, and then bring him in the morning for another blood test. However, that night, his ears were leaking, and obviously uncomfortable, so...

Recently, my cat was tested for hyperthyroid. Because he was borderline, the vet wanted to give him a month of methimazole to see if there was a change in his behavior and eating habits, etc. I've been giving it to him, twice a day, on the right ear in morning, and left ear at night. Last night...

Aw, your babies are beautiful. You are right; Gary and CJ could be brothers. they have the same look. Gary doesn't appear as sick as he was, but he has started to withdraw, again. I've been busy recently, so perhaps he is needing some good cuddles. He has started chemo, but doesn't seem to have...

Gary is still doing great. Eating, loving, cuddling. I woke up early this morning and had a hazy vision of him curled up tight, sound asleep. He hasn't been able to rest like that on his own for awhile. the only time before that I remember him sound asleep was after he came home from his first...

Thank you so much everyone for your positive thoughts about Gary, and for recognizing his importance. He is the best guy ever.

Gary came home today. His incisions are looking fantastic, he isn't leaking, and he ate almost 1.5 cans of food, more than he has eaten at one time in weeks. he tried to escape outside today, and when I brought him home, he was climbing all around the car. He is acting more normal than he has in...

I called emergency, and they called his dr for me, and dr Ian called me back after hours, and said that he would call me tomorrow to see if it has gotten worse, and that i could bring him in if there is a problem. He said because he is eating, he wants him to just rest tonight. so i will...

he has a circle of skin on his belly that is rotting away, and i has three slits around it, so there are three holes in his belly. every week it is another thing. I think he will probably have to have another surgery, so that is three in three weeks. I'm so sad for him.

Gary is now recovering after his second surgery. The fat in his stomach was abcessed, so the dr. did liposuction and removed all the dead and dying tissue, etc. Gary is feeling so much better. He walked around this morning, and even was able to jump onto my bed, which he hasn't done in at least...

Thanks for your replies! when I went to pick him up, he crawled over to me, and tried to climb up onto me to give me a hug, but he was still a little weak. So I picked him up, and he snuggled with me. he was so happy to see me, and I was so happy to see that he is feeling better. He hasn't...

I talked with the vet last night after he got out of surgery, and he said that Gary is doing really well, and that he is tough. I have a little background story. Gary has always had this weird, hanging pocket of skin full of fat on his tummy. When he ran, it would flop back and forth, and...

currently he is at the vet's still. Dr. Ian said that he is going to make a small incision to check that there aren't any ruptures, or if there is a problem with the sutures. the he is going to give him an antibiotic. He said that if he is drinking and eating and his bm is normal, which it...

Last night we got home, and I gave him his pain meds. He drank about 3/4 a cup of water in one sitting, and could not get comfortable. I noticed that his belly was swollen, and had what looked like bruises, then a little wet spot. I made him comfortable on the floor in his basket, so that he...

I got him to eat a chicken heart that I chopped up. I had to force him to eat some a/d, as that is what the vet gave me to give to him, but he didn't much like it, and only ate it when I smeared it into his mouth. He was very angry with me about that, but he wouldn't eat, and I read that it...

My cat has recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma. He had his first steroid shot on Tuesday, and it seemed to help him move around more and eat. But now he is back to not eating, and not moving. He hides out all day, but he will drink water a lot. He also is recovering from exploratory surgery a...

I asked the vet what he could eat, and he said anything. I said that Gary likes chicken hearts, and his vet, Dr. Ian, said that he could eat chicken hearts all day long if he wanted to. So I will find him good foods to eat. I feel a lot better for him, now that we went to the vet, and he got...

The vet said the same thing, so we went for the surgery. The vet did a biopsy. Canned food is way more expensive. I tried this, and my application was denied. Update: So the tests came back and Gary has Lymphoma. He seems to have gotten worse. He can't jump up onto things, he can barely get...

My cat, Gary, is sick. Last year at his checkup, the vet recommended that I put him on a wet-food only diet, in order to drop his weight down from 20 lbs. September 9, 2009, he had his yearly appointment, and his weight was 15 lbs and 5 oz. The vet said that this was a good weight for him, and...

I like rain as well...not the freezing kind, but a good downpour is nice. As for rain in Seattle....I think its more overcast and humid...at least it was last weekend. It doesn't seem to be as rainy as it normally has been in the past. My perfect weather is when the sun is out and warm..but...

THanks all. I live about fifty two miles from the nearest WalMart. I suppose I could order a cardboard one online...if its big enough. He's such a large cat, I wouldn't want him to be cramped up for six+ hours.
