I think she is running away from the pain, cos it can be quite painful sometimes. Lots of love to Mango  :hug:

Well, the vets seems to think she has a tummy bug as even though she had had hardly any food all weekend, she still felt quite gassy. So she had an anti biotic and anti inflammatory jab and some tablets to take from wednesday onwards.

I stayed at home with her yesterday and apart from being hungry she seemed to be ok. She has not been for a #2 yet though so heaven knows what will happen then :-[ We are feeding slowly today; two teaspoons of meat this morning, lunchtime, after work and again before bed and see how her tummy takes it. She has lost a bit of weight though  :'(

I just hate seeing her panic when it happens and runninga ll over the house to get away from it! fingers crossed her tummy will start feeling better now.

I think it would be fine to keep her confined a bit till tomorrow - maybe put another tray as well, just to give her every opportunity to at least use one try or the other! Hope the vet can sort her out.  :hug:

Awww, poor Mango  :hug: Hopefully she just has a tummy bug which can be sorted out with antibiotics.  I don't think it's cruel to keep her in the kitchen til it's cleared up, she can have her comfy bed and toys in there. When Riley had his diaorrhea episode (which lasted weeks on and off) I would dread coming home, worried about what I was going to find and where :sick: Let us know how she gets on at the vets  :hug:

The oher day Chutney seemed to show signs of Cystitis, so we took her to the vet and she is on Metacam etc, and seems to be weeing and eating fine now, I think we caught it early. (We also got a Feliway plug-in) but since the beginning of the weekend Mango seems to have got really bad Diarrhoea! (sp)

Unfortunately she has taken to trying to "Run away" from it and is going everywhere in my house (throws, duvet covers, walls, brand new carpets) Mango has always had a bit of a dicky tummy every now and again ever since she was a kitten, and it never seemed to bother her, she would just use the tray as normal but it was a bit sloppy  :sick:, so usually with holding her food for a night and feeding something bland usually helps (or if not she is taken to the vets) but this time it seems really bad and she seems almost scaredof what is coming out. :-:

Am currently in the middle of cleaning her last episode as she doesn't seem to want to use the tray to "catch" it, she wants to run away from it and I can't do anything to stop her!  :'( I am taking her to the vets in the morning and taking either the morning or the day off depending on how she is.

Do you think it's cruel to keep her in the kitchen (where its tiled floor) or should I let her have the run of the house and just follow with a bottle of 1001? (it's really starting to smell now-poor Bear)

Good vibes please for my Bear  :(
