Poor Korky. And your poor Mum, bless her.

I love the way you describe him climbing on your chest to play the piano.

Hi Sheila, I saw Korky last time I was Home

He is still the same personality wise, But has lost a Horrendous amount of weight

When asking my Mum about Him, It is plain to see that she is not coping well

I think she is just trying to put it all to the back of her mind

When I asked her, she said He had been sick 3 times the day before, but so far has managed to keep everything down ( that day)
He is also on steroids so that will be making him Hungry too, but she was also saying that the Vet want's her to limit the amount of food he
is getting because that will irritate his bowl

It's really sad, He is such a lovely softy

How's Korky doing, Stuart? And your Mum?

Here's hoping it is a lot lot later.

Some other "human" tips for this which might be able to help is Actimel or anything similar and any safe anti-inflammatory. There is a drink called Cherry Active which has an anti-inflammtory affect on joints which I mention as I often used to give my Chelsea a little tiny bit (only what she could lick off my finger). Don't know if it works on tums though.

Good luck.

thx folks

don't know about acupuncture, knowing my mum she's a skeptic with things like that

The vet they are now seeing has said that the Bowel is still inflamed, even with the med's
eventually Korky will stop eating, and when that time comes they will have to let go

Basically the vet has said that it was caught too late

Such a shame, He is one in a million, So loving, usually when I see my Mum, Korky liked nothing
more than Jumping on Me forcing his way up to my chest so I would have to slouch in the seat
So he could Lie there Purring his head off dribbling and playing the Piano

He would stay there like that till I moved him or it was time to go

I do so Hope when the time comes, it will be later rather than sooner

LouiseJ · « **Reply #20 on:** May 01, 2012, 07:45:25 AM »

Oh good luck.
Not sure if this is much help but I had that for years and it was finally cured with accupuncture. There are vets who practice this so if you have one locally it might be worth having a chat with them.

Just got back from offshore today
I was having an afternoon nap when My sister phoned, She's told Carol that
My Mum took Korky to the vet Today and that it isn't good news

been trying to phone her for the last half hour but can't get thru

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #16 on:** April 15, 2012, 17:41:59 PM »

I had no idea IBS could be so serious either

Hope the meds do the trick for Korky - is he OK at taking tablets? If not I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to share!

cazzer · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2012, 17:19:43 PM »

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2012, 12:30:14 PM »

Thats all positive Stuart and sending loads of good vibes for Korky

Stuart · « **Reply #12 on:** April 14, 2012, 10:52:16 AM »

Ok, the scan came back and there are no growths in the Bowel, I didn't realise
it was quite a life threatening ailment

The new vet got his History and picked up on the drastic weight lose from months
ago, some of you may remember that I was getting on at my mother to get Korky
checked out at the time because of this, just for her to say " but He hasn't changed "
( I think the main part of Hesitation on my mums side was mainly to do with what
happened with us and Olivia )

The new vet thinks it is around that time that the IBS started, He also said if it hadn't
been caught now, Korky might have only lasted another 5 months

So, He has had steroid injections and has to get two pills a day, the pills as far as I
can gather will be for the rest of his Life, I have had a quick look on the net to try and
find out more about IBS, and I'm kinda relieved that with Meds, they can still live out
their full expected lifespan

I will keep you all posted,

Please keep the vibes coming tho

That's great news Stuart

Fingers crossed for the ultrasound

Stuart · « **Reply #8 on:** April 08, 2012, 17:26:30 PM »

Bloods have came back absolutely fine

just got the ~~scan / x-ray~~ Ultrasound scan to be carried out on the bowels

Stuart · « **Reply #7 on:** April 08, 2012, 02:24:13 AM »

Thanks guys
Just got home from offshore yesterday, My sister was round so I have a bit more info
although I was still knackered from coming offa nightshift, some of the information
didn't sink in properly

A bit of good news tho, Korky has , well....sister described it as the same as Irritable bowl syndrome
she also mentioned something about nerves in the bowel being dead or something

??
but it is something that is treatable

Blood result's still not back yet, and the scan / xray has still to be done as My folks have kinda moved
up north to the back of beyond, and the machine should be arriving at the clinic in the next few days
Mum has also been told that the scan will be free of charge because it is quite an interesting case
apparently

and there will be student vets there to watch the procedure
Mum will be happy about this as she is quite Grippit when it concerns money

will keep you all posted when i have more news

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #6 on:** April 07, 2012, 20:16:24 PM »

MY Mum's cat Korky has been unwell these past couple of weeks as in being sick daily
I am currently offshore so only found out yesterday that My Mum took Him to the vet and that he has
an enlarged bowel

they have taken blood samples and are going to xray Him just to find out what is happening

I hope he can come through this, He is only 7 and is my Mum's World
