Probably, just need to get round to ordering something for her. It is normally Molly who is fussy with food, not Tiger!! My sis came round yesterday, and Tiger was growling at her, which she has never done before, although allowed 6 strokes from the lady who came to pick Bella up, which is impressive for her - and seh warned rather than just swiped when she had had enough.

Desley, would she fall for the Primula cheese and ham spread Mickey Finn trick? I know you saw that Blip is taking her Cosequin readily like that - although, unlike MMs Lola, she wouldnt eat her normal food when I stirred Cosequin in.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #264 on:** November 16, 2007, 20:51:40 PM »

Rosella - I would have to check back the thread for timings, but when she initially went on it, her limp went from occasionally to constantly, it could just be coincidence though, but made me reluctant to give it to her.
Thanks MM, I shall look into that, as I would like her to have something for the arthritis - she didn't used to be fussy over her MEtacam, silly little girl!!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #263 on:** November 16, 2007, 17:02:55 PM »

Des, i think i mentioned it a few pages back but look into Cosequin, it really seems to work and is tasteless. Thats the reason i chose it as the other brands didnt mention anything

Lola is a fussy madam who knows instantly when her grub has been baited but not with this

Cat metacam is worse if you have a cat who doesnt like the taste as theres more of it! Taz adores the stuff and would happily drink a pint

the last time she had MEtacam, it made the limp worse, so she hasn't had it since.

Desley are you sure it was the metacam made her limp worse? Our Tom reacts very well with Metacam and licks it direct off 2 large pieces of dry catfood as if it is his treat. Have you got the cat or dog metacam? Tom was fine with both but I find it much easier having the cat metacam to avoid giving too much. It is for his arthritis in back legs. I can tell it still works as occasionally I forget and find Tom lying on his side in unusual places like middle of kitchen floor

Aw the poor hun....arthritus is quite a sore condition so I suppose that's her reason for her nasty outbursts....I do hope she will take to getting the metacam in her system...

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #260 on:** November 16, 2007, 07:54:35 AM »

After talking to a friend last night, I think Tiger's current limp is her arthritic hips, as it is worse after she has been sat or sleeping for a period of time. Think I might look into some supplements, but when I put Metacam in her food, she doesn't always want to eat it, so she might do the same whatever I give her.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #259 on:** November 02, 2007, 07:55:38 AM »

Thanks - she is very nasty this morning, I didn't even get a few seconds of nose stroking before she went for me. She has Metacam in her food - that she decided not to eat all of, and will have more Katalax when I Get home (dont want to give her both at the same time of day, in case I upset her).

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #258 on:** November 01, 2007, 23:13:56 PM »

Hope the drugs help, it sounds good thatTiger was playing

Bazsmum · « **Reply #257 on:** November 01, 2007, 23:13:46 PM »

Fingers crossed for finding the "happy medium" for her

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #256 on:** November 01, 2007, 22:02:49 PM »

Vet has recommended Metacam to see how her limp goes, am goign to start that tomorrow, and also Katalax for a few days (she is on the maintenance dose of once a week at the mo) to see if that helps her tummy. She has been playing tonight, so that limp doesn't bother her half as much as it does me!! OBviously the fact the limp is still there isn't the best of signs, but without putting her through exploratory surgery, there is nothing really teh vet can do, except hope anti-inflams work (although the last time she had MEtacam, it made the limp worse, so she hasn't had it since).

Bazsmum · « **Reply #255 on:** November 01, 2007, 13:42:31 PM »

Aw bless her Des....eating the grass after meals does suggest she has maybe furball issues...and we all know how grumpy we can get when uncomfortable...I hope this passes quickly for the little love

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #254 on:** November 01, 2007, 12:21:11 PM »

Sending a gentle ear rub her way Desley. Poor old girl

Felix (Caroline) · « **Reply #253 on:** November 01, 2007, 11:31:50 AM »

Sending lots of love and hugs to you both

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #252 on:** November 01, 2007, 10:46:24 AM »

Keep us posted, Desley.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #251 on:** November 01, 2007, 08:23:10 AM »

She is still being rather quiet, and liking to go and eat grass after food. Think I will put a call into my vet today, not 100% happy with Tiger, she was limping a bit last night, and was grumpy with the fosters for hte first time in a while (she has been very tolerant of them, that surprised me too), fortunately I have Metacam, sensitivity food and anti-sickness meds in from previously.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #250 on:** October 30, 2007, 22:42:41 PM »

She had actually been sick last night as well, just not somewhere I immediately noticed this morning. She has been funny tonight, gave her NM and she barely touched it. I hope it isn't the start of more issues, but at least I still have some RC Sensitivity food in.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #249 on:** October 30, 2007, 11:52:36 AM »

Hoping there's no serious problems, Desley.

Will keep my fingers crossed Desley. Hoping it was just the hairball.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #244 on:** October 30, 2007, 07:36:26 AM »

She was limping more last night, and brought up all her food, there was a bit of a furball in it, so hopefully that is all it was, but I didn't have a good feeling last night. She was in an odd mood though, not wanting to go out, and being really skittish. Nothing more overnight (although that isn't surprising as I wouldnt give in and give her more wet food), and she has gone out this morning, so no guarantees she hasn't been sick again.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #243 on:** October 19, 2007, 21:38:42 PM »

She is still playful, was talking to my mum on Wed night, and apparently Tiger let her stroke her for ages when she popped in one day - she hasn't done that with me, but has been her usual demanding self, every time I go into the kitchen she wants food, and if I go next door and leave my front door open, I find her sat on the doorstep miaowing!! So at least playing is better than that!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #242 on:** October 19, 2007, 17:10:53 PM »

....Maybe Tiger's just happy your back of your hols

JackSpratt · « **Reply #241 on:** October 19, 2007, 10:19:22 AM »

Hope Tiger keeps enjoying her play times,Desley and the limp continues to not affect her.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #240 on:** October 19, 2007, 07:32:06 AM »

My Hubby's like that too Desley - walks with a limp but still enjoys a kickabout with the football with Tess

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #239 on:** October 19, 2007, 07:27:22 AM »

Yeah, it is, that limp obviously doesn't bother her.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #238 on:** October 19, 2007, 07:19:05 AM »

Glad at least that she's still playful, which is a good sign.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #237 on:** October 18, 2007, 20:18:50 PM »

WEll, she hasn't been sick, so it mustn't be the tuna food that does it, and has been playing with balls of her own accord again, which is unusual for her.
MM, we dont know if her limp is either just chronic inflammation, or a tumour, or even just her arthritic hips so reluctant to put her on meds really.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #236 on:** October 18, 2007, 20:08:58 PM »

Not knowing the cause of her limp it may not help but i put lola on cosequin 2 weeks ago as she seemed abit stiff and shes zooming around like a spring kitten now

Bazsmum · « **Reply #235 on:** October 18, 2007, 14:42:03 PM »

Aw bless...I was wondering how Tiger was getting on.....hopefully its just her food tolerance....if it is down to that I hope the up-chucks arnt to follow

clarenmax · « **Reply #234 on:** October 18, 2007, 12:20:04 PM »

Hopefully its nothing Desley as she's happy in herself

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #233 on:** October 18, 2007, 12:15:36 PM »

Fingers crossed that everytning will be alright.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #232 on:** October 18, 2007, 07:30:16 AM »

Just found some blood in her poo, I hope this isn't the start of anything. Annoyingly, I gave her some fishy food this morning cos she has been doing so well, she hasn't had that since she started being poorly, so I hope that isn't going to make her sick!! She does still have a limp, but it isn't bothering her much, in fact she is playing with toys she has never bothered with, and of her own accord, so seeming well in herself.

She has put weight on, so apart from still demanding food, and the limp, she seems to be fine now.

It does, there is still a chance the limp is due to somethign serious, but while she continues like this, we shall leave it and see what happens, it could be the arthritis making her limp at the mo, but I have to take into consideration the fact she is 14 now, and not a good patient!!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #228 on:** September 21, 2007, 07:53:08 AM »
