She has had the Mirataz and Cerenia shot today. Still not eating much. Ultrasound scheduled for Monday. I just dont know what to do. I wish I knew what was wrong. I know you know how that feels. She did poop earlier, and it looked pretty normal and fine. So. And she's usually quite regular on a daily basis before all this.I'm sorry to hear that Echo isn't eating, that is always so hard. How is she doing today? I hope she's eating.
I'll write more later but wanted to ask more about what Echo eats. Diet can cause all sorts of problems, we've seen lots of those. Echo's sniffing and walking away is familiar, too, but more because of our other cat, Ireland, who tends to get constipated. I particularly ask about this because some Stella and Chewy foods have high bone content and some cats (like Ireland) get constipated from the bone. After Edwina's operation I stopped feeding raw food... Not because the vet said they could contain parasites but because I had already gotten tired of dealing with all the bone and pumpkin and other stuff that's now in so much commercial raw food. It was getting complicated to figure out how much bone we were feeding. Ireland had already been getting hairball tablets, which helped keep her regular, but now she's become a ravenous eater something we hadn't seen in years.
Edwina's case is weird and mysterious for sure -- the vet even got another call from another vet who heard about it. The surgeon seemed to think parasites were a longshot as the cause of the inflammation but he also basically said that things can get weird...
She normally eats Tiki cat after dark and hound and Gatos mainly. Higher protein with minimal added stuff. I used to feed her Rawz, but since it's so costly and H+G is quite similar ingredient wise It's been H+G and Tiki for the past year ish.
