She`s doing a little better
Last night I got her some cat milk and she drank a little
I`m kind of nervous about this because she had this brand before and it gave her the squits but she is scoffing it down.
Not sure if that`s the steroids though because when she has had steroids in the past because she stopped eating, she was eating like a pig the following day!
So, she is on her third sachet
The vet`s didn`t ring me, so they can`t have shown anything serious. I`m not sure whether to ring them and check tomorrow.
She is still quiet and mostly sleeping. She is not her usual cuddley, purring self but she is eating
I`ll know more on monday.
Thank you!
I`m not quite sure what you mean
Thanks! That idea worked!
I looked for plain chicken baby food for her before in a big store ( Tesco ) and couldn`t find any without some kind of additives like vegetebles or onion
how odd - i've found several brands over here that don't... i've got about 5 jars right now [on hand for emergencies, y'know?] & the label reads: chicken & chicken broth. this particular one is Beechnut brand.Originally Posted by Jaffacake

I was asking wat she is sick with.
Keeping up for sweet Miss Maisie.
I'm glad she's feeling better, poor thing.
P.S. I love Sooty, your new boy.

I do hope she is better now, and that it was just a bit of an upset tum. Baby food without onions is very hard to get hold of over here, and my vet doesn't recommend it, I always have Hills A/D in in case of poorly, fussy cats, HiLife tuna and cat milk - very rare that one of hte three doesn't go down well. i am surprised they didn't give you any sensitivity food to help her tummy, it is very bland and helps a lot with vomiting cats.

Good luck and tons of vibes headed across the ocean!

I'm so glad that helped. I had to practically stand on my head to get Harrison to eat. He'd sequestered himself in the back of a closet and I would warm up the food, crawl on the floor, put the bowl of cat food soup under his nose, praying he'd eat just a little bit. If he wasn't interested in a certain flavor, I'd "cook" another brand. Some days I'd go through quite a few cans until I hit on the one he'd eat.

That`s a good idea to have a supply handy. Really not sure why they don`t do it plain over here, or I`m just looking in the wrong places
We don`t know yet. She was on steroids as an when needed for IBD but she hasn`t needed them for months. I guess the blood test will give them more of an idea.
Thank you
I will pick up some a/d tomorrow at the vets. See if she will take that. She`s not vomiting now
Thank you
I`m glad we are going to the vets tomorrow because her binge has come to a stop
She is quite 'flat' and not wanting to be cuddled or fussed over
A while ago when she stopped eating, the vet said she would have to go in to be force fed or tube fed. I don`t thing they like you to force feed yourself over here.
So, yeah, she`s down again but we have appointment tomorrow.
Fingers crossed for her, and hope you can get her eating - have you tried pilchards/sardines in tomato sauce, very good for fussy cats, also heating food up, either by using micro, or hot water.

I will get some sardines tomorrow
I heated some up for 5 seconds in the microwave but she turned her nose up. She`s gone off cooked chicken. Not liking salmon anymore.
I`m going to mix some with hot water now
I am so sorry that Maisie is now sick! My heart sank seeing this thread. I am hoping she is have a bad IBD episode and you can get her on track quickly.
Do the vets there give cyproheptadine to help stimulate appetite with IBD cats? It works great and is a great help in getting them to eat ( as long as they are not vomiting).
Lots and lots of for Monday's vet visit
