Typical Mark -i went in there Monday -but she only likes the chicken one !
She is now eating for England

.
Vet is very pleased with her -nose cleared up and 3 days of tablet now (Baytril) and back to steroid tablets tomorrow as injection is due to wear off -but no more duiretics.
Got her some more gourmet tonight -she is getting very spoilt ,but she has eaten some whiskers today as well.

Great news

Gourmet Perle is 25% off in Sainsbury's right now

It was 3 boxes for the price of 2 in PAH a few weeks ago but now sure if that offer is still on.

We are off again in a hour -but this morning she ate some whiskers and when i came back 4 hours later -she was hungry and has just eaten the whole sachet in one go !

Well the vet is very pleased she is so much better - another visit tomorrow anyway .
I nipped into Morrisons and got another 1/2 dozen of the gourmet perle ( she wont eat anything else at the moment ) also i bought another tiny gourmet tin to try her for a change .
She is currently eating again

and then going to lie in front of the fire - she did wake me up at 6am again this morning yelling !- i shouted her and she came and got on the pillow and was fine after that - the door was already open though as they all have the run of the house and no door is ever closed.
I am totally skint now and also no petrol -its on red , so have to juggle to put £10 worth in to get to and from the vets tomorrow.
It only cost me £23 on Monday for visit and 2 injections and i was told to pay tomorrow for tonights and tomorrows injections, which is very reasonable.

Bungly has been crying for food this afternoon , she has gone off the whiskers now and the biscuits !but has eaten another 1/2 sachet Gourmet perle - will have to get some more tonight from Morrisons as got to go in 30mins to the vet.
I only got a couple in case she wouldn''t eat it .
Her nose is a lot better though ,so another 2 days of these and she should be okay as far as the nose goes.
I will see what he says about the injections Michelle -he said the one he gave last night should last a week !

Thats better Bungly....well done crying for food

Really glad she is eating - well done clever girl.

I found the steroid injections worked better than the tablets......Issey was having Dexafort.
Could you learn to give Bungly them ? It would be easier than having to keep taking her back (they only last a couple of days, a few at most).

Sorry to hear the tumour is getting bigger

but she is such a fighter xxx

bunglycat · « **Reply #231 on:** September 29, 2009, 00:12:10 AM »

Bungly has been to the vets - she has had a long lasting steroid injection ( meaning no more tablets at the moment which she will be pleased about ) also a antibiotic Baytril injection for her snotty nose and her temperature was slightly up .
He said there isn''t any fluid now its just the tumour getting bigger

Also i am going back tomorrow and wednesday for 2 more baytril injections.
He said she has done extremely well so far considering the size of the tumour.
I went earlier as l wanted to get there before Wilkinsons shut as i remembered they do gourmet perle in there and Bungly used to love that .
Anyway as soon as we got back she sat near the food and i opened the gourmet and she has eaten some ( and licked all the gravy !), she also had 3 small pieces of my sausages and some more whiskers and a bit of Felix - so looks like her appetite is returning .
Tomorrow i am hoping she will eat more and feel beter after the next injection - she doesn''t need any more duiretics either at the moment.
Thanks everyone .

I used to put a tiny drop of Olbas oil on a tissue under a cushion near Schui (advised by vet) when he was bunged up and it seemed to help. Good luck at the vets xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #229 on:** September 28, 2009, 15:14:04 PM »

Lots of good wishes for tonight and remeber to tell him that you dont want to mess around with meds unless they are making her worse, cos its pallative care for her and she needs to be a happy cat

bunglycat · « **Reply #228 on:** September 28, 2009, 13:52:28 PM »

Been to Asda and bought her some ham this morning -she has had about 4 very small pieces - it seems like she wants to eat but i think she is bunged up .
I keep clearing her nose for her ( she has such very tiny nostrils though )and tried to get into the vets this afternoon , but no joy till tonight, the vet i always see is still operating and i only want to see him as he has seen her from the start.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #227 on:** September 28, 2009, 09:12:09 AM »

Glad she has eaten something, as the others have said.....something is better than nothing.

Good luck with the vets tonight

Give Bungly a kiss from Me

clarenmax · « **Reply #226 on:** September 28, 2009, 08:57:16 AM »

Even a small amount of food is better than no food hun

good luck for later xx

Bazsmum · « **Reply #223 on:** September 28, 2009, 04:45:21 AM »

A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing....sounds as if the steroids are starting to kick in!

Best wishes for the vets tonight!

bunglycat · « **Reply #222 on:** September 28, 2009, 02:05:18 AM »

She still has only had about 3-4 mouthfuls of food , hoping she will pick up and eat tomorrow- back at the vets tomorrow night .

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #221 on:** September 27, 2009, 23:36:23 PM »

Pleased she has eaten something and looks like the steroids are kicking in again

bunglycat · « **Reply #220 on:** September 27, 2009, 21:59:03 PM »

I have been wiping Bunglys nose with moist cotton wool on and off today - i have not given her any of the duiretics (sp) at all today and think i am going to leave them till tomorrow. She has had 2 steroids .
She has slept most of the day in her heated bed , but has now had 2-3 mouthfuls of cat food and 3 tiny pieces of my pork chop (she wouldn't eat any more of it ).
She is still drinking okay .
I think the steroids are starting to help .
I had a bath earlier as i have also been out painting the garden fence a bit too - otherwise i would have took her in with me.
At least she has seemed a little interested in food tonight - hope thats a good sign.
I am going to put the fire on in a minute and watch x factor - she may come down then and sit with me and i will offer her some more food ( its down all the time , but she might eat if i sit and hold the bowl for her ).
Will update later .

Big loves and get well vibes for Bungley - come on little one, eat something xxx

Gill, I know how worried you must be about Bungley but take care of yourself Hun x

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #218 on:** September 27, 2009, 18:03:19 PM »

Hope she is eating by now? Would she sit in the bathroom while you steam it up? Steroids are great at increasing appetite but they can also make them snottier as they depress the immune system too. I was given some bisolvon too once to use for 5 days only - it dissolves the mucus but is really hard to divide up and give. Bungly may not be eating because she's feeling sick from swallowing snotty muck.

how about sardines in tomato sauce? it stinks terrible. She may just eat the tomato but better than nothing. good luck

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #217 on:** September 27, 2009, 15:34:51 PM »

Fingers crossed the meds kick in quick - if she is snotty, it might be worth putting her in the bathroom with a hot shower to get some steam build up, and maybe burn some eucalptus oil too?

Bazsmum · « **Reply #216 on:** September 27, 2009, 14:14:26 PM »

Is she still drinking?

bunglycat · « **Reply #215 on:** September 27, 2009, 14:11:39 PM »

Bungly is still not eating as yet - hoping the steroids will kick in tonight , i put them back up to 2 last night and will carry on at that and see what the vet says tomorrow .
I am really worried and have tried her with a few things and warmed some up , but she just walks away

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #214 on:** September 27, 2009, 12:38:47 PM »

How is Bungly doing today ? xx

Janeyk · « **Reply #213 on:** September 27, 2009, 08:03:32 AM »

Hope that Bungly manages to eat something today

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #212 on:** September 26, 2009, 22:51:28 PM »

Hope the steroids help her but they prob wont kick in until tomorrow. Hope she starts eating again cos she needs to eat

bunglycat · « **Reply #211 on:** September 26, 2009, 22:45:45 PM »

I have given her the other 1/2 steroid tablet in the hope it makes her eat later or tomorrow .
I have given her some of Winstons cod Loin , warmed 3 different types of food up and she hasn''t touched anything at all .
She is sitting on the sofa arm with me though - i hope these will kick start her again - i hate to think how she would be if he hadn''t put her on them

I will try raising her food up when i go downstairs and see if that will help ( i have a proper one i had made ).
