Hello, hello!  Meowzers is continuing to do quite well!  I really hope all this progress made stays for good!  She is eating fully on her own (actually going over to the original cat dishes instead of just the dish I was putting in front of her face).  We see her drinking more and more often out...

Happy New Year to you too!  Thanks for asking about Meowzers! I don't want to jinx anything, but she seems to be doing fantastic!  We only had to force feed her once yesterday because she was grazing on her own food off and on all day.  As I type this she is actually munching on her food...

Quick question to all who have been through this before!  How did you get your cat to start eating on his/her own again?  Or did (s)he just decide one day to stroll back over to their food dish and eat?

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I just wanted to give a quick update in case anyone is following this thread and wondering about my little Meowzers! She is seeming more and more like herself everyday.  I'm giving her 150 ml of IV fluids everyday and a minimum of 6 oz of the critical...

She seems to be doing well.  Using the litterbox, cleaning herself, drinking a bit of water on her own.  She didn't eat any food on her own today, but she did a few pieces yesterday.  So far today we've fed her 5 times and 1 oz each time.  I plan on feeding her twice more today.  It's been...

Thank you for all of your advice!  I am trying SO hard to take it one day at a time.  This is very, very hard for me because I'm a very logical, concrete person who likes deadlines and "knowing" what's going to happen...and with a situation like this you just never know and you have to take it...

Thanks again, Carolina!  You've been incredibly helpful.  And I'm so excited because as I sat here browsing through this site, she randomly ate a treat I've had out for her for HOURS!  She decided to eat it randomly!  I hope this means she's getting better!  She also ate a second one I put down...

Thank you for all your support!  We are feeding her every 2-4 hours; I'm making sure she gets fed 6 times throughout the day.  We are giving her 1 oz at each feeding.  She's 10 lbs, so I think 6 oz is is good for now, but as she gets used to the feedings and tolerates it better (she's vomited...

I'm glad your kitty healed quickly!  I hope mine does as well...I'm starting to get very discouraged and incredibly worried.  I brought her back to the vet today and she got a subcutaneous injection of fluids...bringing her again tomorrow morning too...she was slightly jaundice =(.  I'm bringing...

Thank you all again for all of your support!  I have another question for those of you who have experience or know people who've had experience with force feeding for hepatic lipidosis; how long have you had to force feed your kitty for before they start eating again on their own?

Thank you SO much everyone!!!  I spoke with the vet again not too long ago and I let him know that I am definitely going to go with the force feeding w/ syringe option versus the feeding tube in the stomach.  I am picking up some A/D tonight and will start using that.  I'm lucky enough that my...

Thank you ALL for your support, good vibes, suggestions and input!  I am going to check out a local pet store to see if I can get a cat bag...I'm sure it is much easier than our towel technique!  And don't worry, I am making sure that she will be getting the proper amount of food daily.  I heard...

My 3.5 year old shorthair indoor kitty stopped eating and drinking as much in the past week and a half.  There is visible weight loss.  I brought her to the vet last night and they did blood work and gave her an antibiotic shot as well just in case, the vet did state that she seemed dehydrated...

One of our two cats, Scooter, will not stay off either one of our sinks (kitchen and bathroom). I know cats like running water, but I'm wondering if there is a way to deter him from hanging out around my sinks. The other morning I found litter paw prints (gross!) all over my sink and counter...
