Well I got her to eat , finaly . I opend a kitten can food with fish from Nutro and know she like it very much . Well she eat not much , maybe a one and a half tee spoon fool . But she is still cleaning herself after the meal , I think that is a good sign . I think on monday first think I do after I wake up and can think clearly so I will understand also . I will call the vet and see what we can do and what the option are with Ginger . I cant and will not watch her like that . This is just to painful for me . BTW she still has fever most of the time .

Hedi, you hang in there. I know how hard it is to sleep, you wake up and feel nothing but sadness and depression that is crushing. Freddie has slipped this weekend, he is not eating now and he has lost some weight this week. But he has a tiny spark in his eyes when Eric walks into the room and he wants to be held constantly. I sense he is still fighting, but leukemia is a terrible monster. This week we will need to talk about it in the same way that you are talking about it. I have cried all day, I understand what you are going through. I hang photos of Freddie all over the house and talk to him constantly. We are expecting snow tonight and I want him to see it before he goes..... I DO feel so much for you right now. Freddie's fever was 106 and would not break, our vet here used a new vaccine to cut the fever down, so Freddie would have a chance. Leukemia is blood cancer, so we took what we could get to make Freddie better. The name of the serum was Kenoprofin - and I have NO idea if it is right for your situation, none. I don't know your clinic and your vet. But I am glad Google worked for you in finding answers, the natural world will provide the other answers this week for you.
Thank you so much for the update.

Sashacat my heart also go's out to you and I can feel your sadness . Leukemia is a very hard one to fight . You must go through a lot and still have the strengh to encourage me
, thank you so much . I am so sorry about your Freddie sliping so slowly away , how helpless you must feel . ((((HUGS)))) to you .
The hardest thing for me is to see Ginger just laying around and all I can do cry over her . She is still so young and not even 2 years old .

I know, I do know. Freddie is only 7 months old. It is very hard. He is a love, a true sweetness of a kitty. When he was healthy, before everything came on so fast, he was a frisbee kitten. He would jump 4-5 feet in the air, do back flips, twists, and jump all day long. He used to catch bugs and watch Animal Planet....and now, he is weakended but we still feel his Freddie personality. It is a strange comfort to write it all out here, and know that others understand the suffering of my heart. I will think of you a lot tonight, 3000 miles away in a warmer place. We will have our first snowfall here.

Namaste (peace)
Waste Tokada (good future)

*** hugs ***

I cant believe she is only 2 years old. I didnt know she was so young. It seems odd that she would have cancer at such a young age. If it were me I think I would do the operation to find out for sure. If it does turn out to be cancer.. as hard as it is, I would probly let her go


Hang in there.. and yes, love her as much as you can right now.

Well today Ginger seem to be a lttle more alert then testerday and was mostly over the day fever free I think . The nodes are still swollen , I was just feeling them . She is eating , but not much . I think today she ate a half can of baby nutro food , wich is not a hole lot . I have catched her today trying to eat catlitter , I don't know why she want to do that . Is she having catlitter graving now ? Tomorrow I will call the vet and will talk to him/her , my vet office has 3 vets in there . Then I will go from there .

Hedi? What type of litter are you using? If it is clumping litter, use shredded newspaper or another type of litter just to be safe. Sometimes older cats who have deficiencies in their blood will eat cat litter to try and compensate. A vet visit would be a really good idea.

I am thinking of you and Ginger often-

Wishing you and Ginger all the best, I hope you find an answer for what is causing this. As Hissy said, eating litter can be a sign of a problem such as anemia (kitties with crf are susceptible to developing anemia and eating litter is one sign).

hugs to you and chin skritches to your lovely tortie girl,

Thank you malynn

Ginger is doing much better today , that really amases me . She walks all over the house and also ate but not much . She is still not her old self though , btw she is only 13 or 14 month old . She don't has fever as far as I can tell . The one noids seem smaller today on the one of her ear site . But she still has all the others
. Well I see what the vet will say and I will also mention to her that Ginger is trying to eat the catlitter . I have not seen her swallow it , but don't mean she will . M.A. I cant place in all cat litter boxes news paper , the other cats will all go nuts with that . They can be little monsters sometimes while playing .
