Re: Cat concerns
Passing by to check if there are any updates on Smokey. I hope he's doing better 
This catmilk sounds good, that he's keeping it down is excellent 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!

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 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!

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!
