Got Kitty´s blood tests back. Her liver counts are totaly messed up, Vet. thinks it´s because of age. We also found out she is diebetic. I´m also still waited on the results of the FIP test, for some reason the lab forgot to do it. The liver and diebieties thing can be taken care of, But the...

Hi, I have a 15 yr. old female cat. About a week ago she started withdrawing from my wife and I. I know cats will withdraw when they are in pain. I´ve been watching her very closly and noticed she eats very little. I took her to the Vet. yesterday, and we had her teeth cleaned and blood test...

I agree 100%. I also believe God put cats here to make him laugh. For example: As soon as you sit down, the cat wants out, so we let him out. As soon as you sit down again, the cat wants in, so we let him in. And this can go on for a long time. So I believe when we fall for this practical joke...

Quick Bear Update: I just got home from work, and my wife was very excited. She went to feed Bear, he took one look at the syringe and RAN for the food bowl. Is it possible that he is so scared of that syringe, that it made him eat? I really don´t care what it is as long as he eats...

Thanks Jenny The last feeding didn´t go as easy, it was syringe all the way. But compared to the last few days, its a gaint step.

I think 950sq ft is fine. My apartment is about 700 sq ft. and I have 4 cats (3 females and 1 male.) running around. And the three girls are the bosses around here, they keep the male in line. Hmmm come to think of it, its just like marrage. Don´t get mad ladies, it was just a joke. Besides...

Just wanted to say thanks myself Bear

Thanks for the welcome. Hope to have pics soon

BEAR UPDATE: Well the visit to the Vet brought some good news, Bears blood test turned out good. The liver and kindneys are working well. The Vet made a mixture of Meds. to help support the liver and kidneys, and filled it in a small spray bottle. Very easy to give, just open the mouth, and...

Thanks again Pat I am going feed Bear some more, then its off to bed (almost midnight here). I have a Vet appointment tomarrow. I will post an update about Bear and the visit to the Vet.

I understood it as per day. 3 x 3oz = 9oz I have one last question for tonight before I go. I know the main thing is to get food in him. As long as he is eating out of my hand, is that alright? It takes alittle longer, but I can pet and speak to him as I feed him. Or do I need to use a syringe...

@ sashacat, Thank you also for your advice and your concern. I do have a larger syringe, I can almost fill it with a whole bottle of baby food. I have to wait till tomarrow to get some AD food.

just wanted to let you know, we have givin Bear about 2/3 bottle of the baby food mixed with the nutri paste. We are going to give him a short break, then give him somemore.

@ Dawn, Pat and Hissy, Thanks for the advice. I will have to go with the baby food for now. I can´t get any AD right now. I will see if my Vet has some tomarrow. Which I hope.

I have read the article, thats why my wife and I are so scared. I tried calling my Vet but I cannot reach him. (it is now 8:30pm here in Germany). Bear goes about 10 lbs right now, any suggestions on about how much to give him. We were afraid that if we started to force him that it might turn...

BEAR UPDATE: We are at the point of force feeding. We were already to go, everything was set. Believe it or not, Bear ate or better said licked two tablespoons of chicken baby food mixed with kitty vitamins within two hours. Sence he hasnt eaten in five days, we don´t want to try and stuff...

Thanks all for the welcome. I´m sure I´ll have a great time here. I´m glad thier´re so many cat crazies like myself.

BEAR UPDATE: I tried the chicken broth, at first I thought it was going to work. He got up as if he was going to eat, he just smelled it alittle bit, then laid back down. We are going back to the Vet today, and I´m going to talk to him about force feeding. I will keep you posted. One thing I...
