    6 year old cat not eating

    We talked to the vet today and they gave him fluids over a 20 hour period, like 80 or 800 cc's can't remember and his kidney's aren't functioning. The treatment did not work and he agrees that we will let him go on and end his suffering. We could've done a specialist but he hadn't ate in 10 days...

    Update on Maxwell. Took him back to the vet today, he is very critical. His body is attacking itself. The doctor think it may be mycoplasma or  bone marrow leukemia. He is very very sick. The doctor says its about 50/50. The vet seemed to think if it was a virus it could be reversed with...

    6 year old cat not eating

    He's been home since about 4 last night.  He had a dental procedure done (anethesiaized) and an antibiotic shot day before yesterday. He still hasn't ate or used the bathroom since he's been to the vet. He's urinated but not BM. Vet said it was sometimes normal being nervous, said his colon was...

    Thank you all for the support. Called the vet again today and they weren't able to do a scraping of the tooth due to him having a fever of 102. When we brought him in he had a fever of 103 and told my mom and I that was a little high. He just NOW received anti-antibiotics. Going to try tomorrow...

    6 year old cat not eating

    Thank you all for your prompt replies. The vet has been syringe feeding him (last night) and said he is tolerating it well and has been eating that way. My husband finally had to get frank with them after I had told the vet on the first visit when I learned of the bad tooth to pull it. So...
