Thank you everyone.
I want to share something with you.
Last week I read a story of a woman who had similar circumstances, Her cat was dying and she wanted to be with him as long as she could. I totally get that. Her story took a turn for the worse when at night her cat started meowing in...
Roscoe got worse overnight. Throwing up and constant diarrhea. Made the appointment this morning and decided it was his time. I am full of guilt, and sorrow right now.
Rest in peace baby. Daddy loves you so much.
Thank you everybody.
I will have blood work done in the morning. Roscoe, is acting very frail today. His appetite stimulants have been working great up till now.
They say your pet will tell you when its time. The way he is looking at me, he just looks like he is miserable right now. I would...
Roscoe is not doing well today at all :(
His appetite seems to have gone, He doesn't want to come out from under the bed.
If he doesn't improve today, I will make the appointment tomorrow with my vet to end his pain.
devastated.
You know how other peoples kids can sometimes get under your skin, sometimes you dislike them. But thinking back on my past experiences, I have never met someone elses cat that didn't make me love them.
Maybe its just me. Just thinking...
Thanks. I think he is smarter than us. I tried that already and he wouldn't touch it. :)
Very Finicky Cat!
I just got him to swallow the pill. now hes mad. The mornings are worse because not only does he get the pill, which i can usually do, but he gets a squirt of antibiotics which he...
He's eating good Susan. If I want to get him out from under the bed, a shake of the cat treat bag still works.
I have to give him another pill now and am dreading it. he hates it and seems to get mad at me for a while. :(
the head shakiness is gone now. My main concern is his hiding and not wanting much to do with us. I know he is still sick, and skinny and weak.
He does come out to say hi and give me love every few hours.
I got him a comfortable bed for under my bed, maybe that has something to do with it?
Seems a lot cooler than he was as of Tuesday. (I have no thermometer), i could feel the heat coming off his head, now i cant.
No yellowing i can see. ears look white as well.
He has always been a stressful cat. He has a step-brother that is constantly messing with him. i try to intervene when i see it.
other stress. yes. I got a divorce a year ago....
Eyes look fine to me, no tests were done. His third eye lid (diagonal) is 1/4 up sometimes unless i get his...
Thank you Susan.
I honestly do not know why he is on steroids besides the fact that my vet told me to give him that. ?
(edit: she mentioned in case it wasn't FIP and was something they couldn't find")
I thought it was odd to have steroids and antibiotics together. but shes the Doc, not me...
Thanks Susan.
No bloated belly. From what I've read, if it is the dry form the belly wouldn't be bloated?
When he comes out from hiding, besides being skin and bones and looking so fragile, he is loving and even wanted a belly rub today. he is eating fine, but also on appetite stimulant. ...
Thank you for the reply.
He did have fleas. I was told this can cause anemia. The age thing is what has me puzzled,
What i don't understand is, If there is only a 93% chance of FIP (as referenced by other experts), Why not treat for the other 7% of possibilities? Since FIP is 100% fatal?
I...
