good luck at the vets

CuteCats · « **Reply #119 on:** June 12, 2012, 14:18:41 PM »

Sounds like he is a fighter, bless him.

Miroslav · « **Reply #118 on:** June 12, 2012, 13:54:48 PM »

He spent most of the night with me, keeping me penned in. He has his upbeat moments.

Whatever is right, it will be done.

CuteCats · « **Reply #117 on:** June 12, 2012, 13:38:49 PM »

Good luck and best vibes. xx

And remember, you know your cat better than anyone.

Thanks

If it is goodbye, you can be sure you have done everything you can for him. Will be thinking of you.

Day of reckoning, vets at 3.10.

Could be goodbye.

Vet wants to have a look at him to see why he's not eating.

it may be worth buying some fish and cutting it into smaller peices, then just defrost and cook a bit at a time. tescos basics white fish frozen is ok and ive never had bones in it

poor boy but some is better than none so you never know..tommorrow may bring a better day

I'll look into that tomorrow. What kind of minced beef can I purchase? It seems most tins have onion in. I'd like a wet slimy minced beef to try.

Will keep trying.

Heating a/d hasn't worked. He gets offended and walks away.

He is spending alot of time with me and settles easier when next to me. He follows me around alot, so he wants me to be with him.

you could also smear the AD on to his paws, he will lick it off, even if he doesnt want to, cats are very fussy about their fur

I could try that, but I did it with something else and he just left it there

Have you tried heating the AD in the microwave for about 10 seconds when its warm its more appealing, cat milk is another good way to get calories in them, also heating the tuna and fish again for 10 seconds in the microwave seems to make it more appealing

We are sending all our best vibes at the Clan for you both

I haven't yet. I will do though. I just cooked a Turkey Breast roast and offered him some pieces, but no interest

Put out cat milk, but no interest.

I keep trying different things, often heating, but nope

For a first meal for a few days it is a lot and his tummy will take ages to digest.

Keep on hoping and hope Moses will eat again in a few hours.

I agree with you rather than the vet, especially knowing what happened to Napoleon and he was an in patient and they kept telling me he was eating and he wasnt

Ok, i'm just concerned it may not be enough. I will keep trying of course.

I always worry that vets would lie. They told me my Dopey was better off being pts and she lasted another 13 months, albeit the last 2 moths blind.

The vet also seemed put on the phone when I told him Moses wasn't eating, saying "I didn't think him not eating was the biggest problem when I saw him" It wasn't, but it is now!

Still nothing else...

Refusing it all.

False dawn I think

Can't see how the vet thinks it's not yet critical.

Noticed you've posted since I started typing, Gill.

You think 4 little pieces of plaice and a few mouthfuls of Tuna is going to help? It's alot compared to what he did eat, but in the grand scheme of things.....my heart is sinking.

EDIT: It was 6 pieces of plaice - 2 then 4 more. Still - not enough.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #100 on:** June 11, 2012, 21:22:38 PM »

Sad about ad but it will keep in the fridge for a couple of days once opened.

I think after eating nothing 4 pieces of fish and some tuna is a lot

Miroslav · « **Reply #99 on:** June 11, 2012, 19:00:00 PM »

No

But not had anything since.

The Hills a/d is a big thumbs down I think.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #98 on:** June 11, 2012, 17:59:20 PM »

Hope he didnt upchuck it when France scored

Miroslav · « **Reply #97 on:** June 11, 2012, 17:53:31 PM »

I'll try it later.

Just had a few small mouthfuls of tuna! Just as England scored in the footie

Celebratory tuna.

Tried eating a treat but too chewy for him.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #96 on:** June 11, 2012, 17:50:41 PM »

It may go a bit hard but worth trying

Miroslav · « **Reply #95 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:59:15 PM »

I'll keep trying.

Can you re-heat fish? It was frozen plaice in breadcrumbs, but obviously only gave him the fish - nice and warm.

He's calm, so going to sit with him - he likes to watch footie with me

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #94 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:53:43 PM »

Yes his tummy will be very small at present cos he hasnt eaten for a while , so very small and often meals

CuteCats · « **Reply #93 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:46:38 PM »

I think he will eat slowly at first and gradually build up his intake. Sounds like he's doing well to me. Come on Moses boy!

Miroslav · « **Reply #92 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:30:02 PM »

Nothing more yet, but he's a little more relaxed.

Even if this is a false dawn, he's not going quietly.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #91 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:27:14 PM »

Go Moses go, you are doing so good

CuteCats · « **Reply #90 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:19:29 PM »

Great news! That plaice must be tasty.

Dawn F · « **Reply #89 on:** June 11, 2012, 16:07:16 PM »

that is good, sounds like its working

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #88 on:** June 11, 2012, 15:58:10 PM »

thats fabulous news

sounds like those meds really work!

Miroslav · « **Reply #87 on:** June 11, 2012, 15:53:04 PM »

4 more pieces!

Sootyca · « **Reply #86 on:** June 11, 2012, 15:49:22 PM »

Come on Moses, start eating again.

Miroslav · « **Reply #85 on:** June 11, 2012, 15:27:59 PM »

He just had one small mouthful of Plaice that I cooked, but that was it

EDIT: Two pieces.

Come on boy!

Miroslav · « **Reply #84 on:** June 11, 2012, 14:51:57 PM »

It's ok, I just hope it helps.

He doesn't rest for long. I slept on and off for a few hours earlier whilst flatmate watched him. I'm awake, I just need food, which I will do shortly.

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #83 on:** June 11, 2012, 14:32:19 PM »

I dont have any clue about that medication sorry

you must look after yourself too, even if its just to grab a bowl of soup or cereal

Id try to rest whilst he is and set your alarm to try again in an hour maybe. xx

Miroslav · « **Reply #82 on:** June 11, 2012, 14:19:52 PM »

I am tired and not eating much - it's affected my appetite too!

I took him to bed after his last pill, he didn't stay long and eventually had to carry him downstairs.

He's also had some Mirtrazapine - how long does it take to kick in usually?

I am reading all the replies, apologies if it appears i'm not answering everything directly, I hope you understand.
