As some of you know my cat Sabbath is battling Fatty Liver Disease/Pancreatitis etc. (http://www.thecatsite.com/t/278113/relapse-fighting-against-fatty-liver-disease). She is now home after being hospitalized and has a feeding tube.
I am trying to get her sister Ichabod to stop hissing at her.
Any remedies you have found to work? Someone told me to wipe her down with fabric softener sheets now and then when I bring her back from check ups to wipe her down a little again. The thing is she also has a bandage now around her neck to cover the stoma and tube. She has to go in every so many days and have that changed. Even I can smell the vet on it. So I don't know how this is going to get any better until she is better. And we really don't know how long that is.
I saw they sell some type of Kitty Collar online for cats with tubes. I was going to ask the vet about it because those can be thrown in the wash. Just not sure if the vet will want her to have something like that though. We have also spent like $1700 on things so far so throwing another expense in the mix would have to be if its really worth doing.
When she does it we tell her "no" in a stern voice but we also know Ichabod is confused. Not only because her sister is sick but she has been at the vet etc.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this is only stressing Sabbath out more and now poor Ichabod is stressing as well. The last thing I want is Ichabod to stop eating or marking the house etc.
