My cat has been doing much better, thank you for asking. We let the other cat out about a week or so ago. We've stopped force feeding and medicating Abby and she has been eating on her own and standing up for herself against the new cat. The only concern is the new cat seems to like to...

Thanks Stephen. I wear a sweater to keep any mess off me and wrap her in a towel when feeding her. As well as using purell after. My dad helps by holding her head and washes his hands after to get . However, Abby, who is the sick cat lets me sort of twist her fur and use a comb and cat shampoo...

Thanks Stephen. The other cat was adopted a couple weeks ago and got her vaccinations. Is there still a strong chance of spreading by secondary contact? Is it a case of different mutations of viruses, and it don't being worth risking? Also, I read online someone asking a question about a sick...

Thanks for the advice. Yesterday morning she was sneezing less, but I could hear she was pretty stuffed up. I took her back to the vet and got some antibiotics called Azithromycin. The vet said to try this type for a few days and if there is no improvement or worse there is another more...

The loss of appetite and stress was due to bringing a new cat into the home a couple weeks ago. We took her to the vet a week ago for a checkup and blood work and everything came back fine. We've had them separated for the time being. She's started eating a little and drinking a lot since being...

Hi, I recently purchased a feliway diffuser for my stressed cat who hasn't been eating on her own (she is now eating a small amount of human food and is on martazapine). She has been sneezing a fair amount recently though. Could this be caused by the feliway or perhaps the medication? thanks

Thanks for the reply. I should have been more clear. We didn't take all her hiding spots away. She still hides under the gramophone and under neath the buffet. Just blocked places that she would hide and we wouldnt be able to get her out without upsetting her like a couch. Been trying human...

hey thanks for asking. Well, I got the nutri-cal from them and they said if she wasn't eating soon that we may want to get some medication. She's got a fair amount of her strength back, but still won't eat. She was getting upset and wanted out of the rec room. She was scratching the door and...

oh ok, that's a reasonable price. Thanks again :)

That;s great to hear. Do you have any idea on price? 

I use a blender to mix her food with a little bit of water. Do you think the nutrigel would mix together with the food and water? thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. 

OK thanks, and everyone else. I'll start giving her a bit more each day. Is there anything like an oil I can add to the food i feed in syringe for some dense calories? I heard of something called Nutrigel, but couldn't see any at PetSmart. Would a vet have this?

OK thanks I definitely don't want that to happen. I just read some sites where people had done so and my cat seemed to actually enjoy the water fed to her, compared to the food anyway.  Just concerned she isn't getting enough because I've read conflicting posts about how much calories and water...

Are you sure about the water? i've read its ok, and she seems to relax and enjoy the water, relative to taking the food.  Yeah, we're separating them for now. She's closed in to the basement with me. I guess it'll take time, I just hope she will start on her own. 

Hey thanks. Ya I have been syringe feeding her. Got a feliway diffuser in the basement and the spray as well.  I've tried to eliminate places for her to hide under in the basement, but she has been going under my foozeball table to clean herself after feeding. Never heard of bonito flakes, but...

Thanks for the advice. I've tried baby food, but no luck. Though it wasn't warmed up.  For now, we are keeping the cats separate. Abby is in the basement with me and has her food, water, litter, and fireplace she loves laying in front of, so the new cat can't come down to bother her. So at least...

A week ago  on Sunday my parents adopted a new cat that is nearly two years old. We already had a 14 year old cat, ‘Abby’, at home. The new cat Annie was chasing Abby around, just wanting to play, but it was stressing Abby and upsetting her. I noticed Abby was eating less during the week, then...
