Re: Cat concerns
 

Passing by to check if there are any updates on Smokey. I hope he's doing better :fingerscrossed: This catmilk sounds good, that he's keeping it down is excellent :fingerscrossed: he pulls through. Hope you found the Nutrical.

Re: Cat concerns
 

Not got Nutrical yet.

OH and self have been syringing 30 mil of "catmilk" into Smokey every hour. He's beginning to fight a lttle so I see that as good news.

And when he's all healthy again he'll go back to ignoring me!:thumbsup:

Re: Cat concerns
 

WEll... Smokey didn't get better, and today we said "Goodbye" to him.

Thanks for your tips and help, and goodwishes.

Re: Cat concerns
 

Ohh, poor thing, poor you. Did he just fade away in his sleep or did you have to make the awful decision?

Thats so sad.

Re: Cat concerns
 

So sorry to hear this news.

Sincere condolence to you and your family.

Re: Cat concerns
 

Sorry to hear that TG. I have cats and I know how tough it can be to lose one.

Re: Cat concerns
 

I took him to the vet.

I had my four year old with me (he didn't go into the treatment room obviously - he stayed and flirted wiht the receptionist!).

I told him Smokey had been ill, and we couldn't make him better, so we had to let him go to Cat Heaven.

He said: Are you sure Smokey is in Cat Heaven?

I said: Yes, that's where he is.

He said: Great, that means we can get another cat! Can I call him Baby Tiger!

There was me thinking he was going to be all upset!:blink:

Re: Cat concerns
 

Classic.......

You wouldn't want it any other way:)

Re: Cat concerns

Re: Cat concerns
 

I had a wonderful vet in Montreal who once told me that a cold is disastrous for a cat, because if they cannot smell food they will not eat it, and then they become dehydrated and can die. I used to foster orphaned raccoons, and we gave them Gatorade to drink; it contains electrolytes which are missing in a dehydrated animal. Try to find a vet who is elderly. They have experience and can diagnose without costly tests. Oh, dear Dr. Jasmin, how you are missed!
