I wanted to let everyone know that Catnip died just before Christmas.  He had some really good weeks, lots of outdoor walks, naps by the wood stove and cuddles with us. It was almost two months between diagnosis and his death which is pretty typical with squamous cell CA of the mouth.  His last...

Catnip is eating on his own!  Yay!  Only a/d watered down but he is able to lick it up himself.  Tuna juice is still a favorite, too.  He's eaten a tiny bit of other soft cat food so we'll see how this goes.  Thanks for all the ideas and support!  Now to look into some holistic treatments to...

Thanks!  Those are both great ideas.  Catnip does not go for many treats but I have given him  freeze dried chicken before and have a pouch here to try in the blender.  It seems the solid feel of the food is the problem but maybe if I really puree his regular dry food and add tuna juice it could...

Home from a vet visit.  Somehow Catnip has gained a little weight since Friday.  I guess the A/D has lots of calories.  The vet could not find a specific reason for him to still be so uncomfortable so we continue on and see if it can be turned around.  He was given sub-q fluids and  I will be...

Catnip had the surgery on Wednesday, (4 days ago).  I syringe fed him a can of Hills A/D from Friday thru Saturday night and he was drinking water on his own.  Woke up today to a lethargic cat who now avoids food and water bowls.  He looks miserable and is pretty suspicious of me so I have not...

Catnip had the  biopsy done and I am awaiting results.  The growth was larger than expected and the vet was unable to remove the whole thing.  Meanwhile, my cat is miserable.  He can't eat without gagging so am using a syringe a few times a day to feed him.  He is drinking water so is keeping...

Hi!  This is the first time I've posted and I am hoping to get some input from you.  I took my 17 year old ginger cat  to the Vets yesterday because he has been unable to crunch up larger oral care dry food.  He has also lost some weight.  Under his tongue  a large growth was found and it  will...
