Its okay if he is mad at you - we do what we have to do right? and its for the greater good - he does understand that

your doing great work with him, just spend as much time with him talking until you can get in touch with the vet.

Is he consuming any water?

Not sure what time zone you're in, but let's see what the vet says. Try taking some deep breaths and calm yourself. If anything, this is preparing you for motherhood.

He did drink a little bit of water today, yesterday he had a little bit of cat milk, other then that- dry and wet cat food, a little bit of yougurt- and I just gave him about two tbl spoons of yougurt...
Ok, after al I figured out- there is not much I can do for him anymore. I tried my best, and vet said- he is going to be great- the only reason to worry- if he will start vomiting, which did not happen. I assume, he is recovering after surgery, his abdomen hurts, all insides hurt, his been trying to eat, but at this point, medicine made him sick and he wants no food for right now....So I just should give him a little space.. unless vet will say something different... I will talk to vet in a little bit, sure she will know what to do..

As long as your cat isnt longhaired, or have major hairball problems..I would keep putting his paw in whatever you need him to eat..
Sounds like torture, and it can be a mess, so block him off..But my momma cat wouldnt eat the pumpkin, I kept putting a little pile on her paw, and she would lick it off..Not because of the wonderful taste Im sure. But because of the need to clean..
Just a thought, I hope he gets better

Thank you- I think your idea is great!

So he is feeling nauseated.... My poor baby....

She advised to bring him back for a check up... Hope he'll be fine...

I am glad that you are taking Miskha back to be checked.

Miskha remains in my prayers.

He has been through a major time of illness, and a major surgery. I am glad the vet will see him again to reassure you that all is well.

Try not to worry too much; like you said, Mishka just had major surgery. I think the fact that he wants to play and is eating a lot is incredible. I'm glad you called the vet, tho. Hopefully, she can set your mind at ease. Hope your little man continues to improve.

just checking in - hope the vet trip went okay

Me too.

Mishka

hi guys!
Well we went to the hospital yesterday and vet took kitty's blood and did an ultrasound, cause his gums were a little bit pale and she just wanted to make sure he is not loosing blood somewhere. Everything is fine, but his liver. Blood test showed that he is developing fatty liver disiease and WE HAVE TO MAKE HIM EAT! She gave us appetite stimulator med AND IT WORKED right away! As soon as we brought him home- he jumped on a food like he never ate before! Then also when tech gave him his pills, Mishka got scared a lot and mad too- and guess what? He pooped!!!! Good boy!
This morning he went down to eat while I was still in bed and then jumped back on my bed and gave me so many kitty kisses and hugs, like he never had a surgery!!!! He was so sweet!
well then it was time for his medicine.. lol... he is mad at us..again.. oh well- I just want him to get better- and he ate a little bit again, so I am not that worried anymore. vet gave us pill pooper- which helps a lot! And also I am taking Mishka back to the hospital tomorrow at 3pm- for a check up. His skin on ears got a yellow tint, so they want to monitor him closely- in case he needs a feeding tube! God, I hope not! Keep your fingers crossed for Mishka and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support!

Thank you for giving us the update...I hope Mishka continues to improve!

Yay! That's wonderful to hear. Yes, they really, really need to eat or that liver thing crops up. Glad the appetite stimulant worked!

Your gut feelings were right.
Thank heavens you took Miskha back to be checked.
You have an amazing boy on your hands.
Many thoughts and prayers are going out for Miskha's complete recovery.

What wonderful news!!!

Since he loves to eat now, you might try giving him an extra special treat after giving his medication. You will find that he will fight less (and will be less upset) if he knows he will get a treat as soon as he swallows his pill.

I am really happy that he is doing so much better!

Thank heaven you got Mishka to the vet! Fatty liver disease is nothing to mess around with. It sounds as if you've caught it in the earliest stages. Sending loads & loads of healing vibes his way.

Oh, yes, that reminds me - I used to give Elsa some deli turkey after her medicine. That definitely helped! (caveat: I hear that deli turkey isn't that great to feed a lot - just once in a while for treats.)

Guys I need your help. Everything was fine, untill we gave Mishka his pills second time. He is drooling and gaging and will not stop to do so!!!! I just feel so sorry for our little baby. he just came dawn and staied with us all night long- but if we would try to even come close to him- he would run away ( probably thinking we are gong to give him his med)- so what should we do?

has the pill been brought up? and if not then how long has he been gagging for?
