I do hope you can stop him being sick, as that can't be very pleasant for him. I would be tempted to see if Caroline can see him tomorrow, and maybe give him some antisickness stuff - you also need to keep an eye on him for dehydration too, as that will make him feel worse. Good luck, and I do hope this is just a blip.

When he had his tests in RVC , they told me he has to eat Hills D/D venison tinned diet, and nothing else . No treats or dry food, but it is very hard, i didnt know about heating it up , thanks Linda i will try it tomorrow, might make it more pleasant for him.

Gill, i am taking him for his B12 injection on wednesday and he is taking his tyroid tablets, hasnt started the steroid yet.
Have to speak to Caroline , the surgery yesterday didnt know anything about it because the RVC , informed Caroline about the results and i have left a message for her.

I just want to say thankyou to every one who is giving me advise and all your kind words means so much.

Thankyoux

Yes Kocka used to eat it off my finger, she wouldnt eat it any other way, so a feed would go on a s long as she wanted and oh boy it stinks

It also meant that she ate small amounts often and it kept well in the fridge. She used to like it ice cold too!

it might be something to ask Carloline when you next see her cos his poor tummy may not be able to cope with it but on the other hand it is very nutricious cos was designed for sick cats.

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #301 on:** January 06, 2008, 00:51:46 AM »

So sorry Pav

What are you currently feeding Boy? Not sure if he can have it but Hills AD is very good for sick cats and they dont need to have lots of it to get the right level of nutrition. You can also heat it or water it down, whatever is required. Just thought it was worth mentioning

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #300 on:** January 06, 2008, 00:21:53 AM »

Poor Boy and I think the small feeding often is a good idea

Is he having another injection soon that may help? Afraid I have forgotten what treatment he is having now cos my head is a bit fuzzy.

Boy is so lucky to have someone who cares so much

Hi, just posted about Phoebe's vet trip

, , but sadly Boy's been sick since yesterday and hasnt stopped.

Today i am feeding him in very small portions but every few hours, he has been sick twice, but this evening he had his food and went back to bed and he hasnt been sick ., as long as he is eating and purring and not in any pain.

Aw Pav, you're having a hell of a time aren't you? I'm so sorry. At least you know the animals appreciate everything you are doing.

Love Mary and Bonnie xx

Aww, poor boy. I do hope he isn't sick too often.

pappilon · « **Reply #287 on:** January 04, 2008, 13:06:22 PM »

Thanks Desley, Phoebe is in the vet now, but as i was leaving the house this morning Boy got sick again and throuup all his breakfast

He was really fine since wednesday, but i guess i have to expect this happening,just have to see how often . I'll see this evening if he can keep the food down.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #286 on:** January 04, 2008, 10:39:17 AM »

Good luck for today.

pappilon · « **Reply #285 on:** January 04, 2008, 07:53:24 AM »

Thankyou Maddiesmun.

He is having his breakfast now and hasnt been sick since wednesday.

I am sitting here , waiting for Diazepam to start, so i can get Phoebe ready for her visit to the vet.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #284 on:** January 04, 2008, 06:31:49 AM »

Good luck at the vets and how is BOY today?

blackcat · « **Reply #283 on:** January 03, 2008, 22:29:22 PM »

sorry, miunderstood the question. Yes the vet should be able to do it under light sedation as long as she is not too flighty ... I would certainly be asking them to try it

pappilon · « **Reply #282 on:** January 03, 2008, 22:24:11 PM »

I just wantd to see if the vet can do it with the light sedative she is under or GA?

No way i try anything like this at home with her

or any cats.

Thankyou, i will ask them to do this, around her eye looks worse than yesterday.

blackcat · « **Reply #281 on:** January 03, 2008, 22:12:44 PM »

the vet should do it as it requires sharp instrument near her eye. Also needs to be kept in sterile conditions and collected in same ...

Definitely a 'do not try this at home' sort of thing

Quote from: blackcat on January 02, 2008, 17:43:43 PM

could be it started as an allergy but then the skin developed a fungal infection as well - might be an idea to get skin scrapings done ...

Sorry b/c this skin scraping, does it have to be done under anaesthetic? Or its possible to do it while she is under the effect of Diazepam? Thats what i am giving her in the morning before taking her and hoping that they dont have to give her more sedative.

Pav, I'm so very sorry to hear your news about Boy. You have been through such an emotional roller coaster with this, there are no words except I know you will make the very most of the time he has left.

clarenmax · « **Reply #278 on:** January 03, 2008, 09:20:30 AM »

Sending you a big

, enjoy every day you have with him, and spoil him completely, which I am sure you will

I wish the news had been better

Bazsmum · « **Reply #277 on:** January 03, 2008, 05:37:18 AM »

Oh Pav how awful

So sorry about BOY's results.....

maryas · « **Reply #276 on:** January 02, 2008, 23:50:44 PM »

Pav, this time will go either very fast or be very slow for you both. I am so very sorry and no words or hugs or anything can really make you feel better. We all know how it feels and all anyone can really say is make the most of your time together and take lots of photos and remember the good times.

Love Mary

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #275 on:** January 02, 2008, 22:07:01 PM »

I am so very sorry to read this, I truly hoped it woudl be IBD. I do hope you have a lot of good quality time together, and do treasure it. Will be continuing to keep you in my thoughts.

Hi Pav

No words are enough, but I hope you know how much you and Boy are in our thoughts.

So sorry to hear this

Treasure the time you have with each other

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #272 on:** January 02, 2008, 20:28:22 PM »

Oh no I am so very very sorry, I just sent you a message before I read your posting. What can I say you must be devastated. Let's hope the little BOY holds on longer without discomfort and that you have plenty of time to love and spoil him. Life sucks sometimes Pav

blackcat · « **Reply #271 on:** January 02, 2008, 19:26:30 PM »

You're right, you can prepare yourself and psyche yourself up but there is something inside that stops you believing until you absolutely have to - I am so sorry Pav, enjoy your remaining time with him.

pappilon · « **Reply #270 on:** January 02, 2008, 19:22:07 PM »

No its fine, i shouldnt have stoped the post, is just one hour a go i was saying he is well and even put on weight and then the call came, and was just too much.

I knew the day i took him to my own vet in November , its pancreas or intestine cancer , the signs were so much like DD,loosing weight and being sick and other signs i just cant think now.

IT's just no matter how much you prepare yourself and try to be logical and say oh he had a good life and all the rest, just doesnt work, i think i am not making sense.

Thankyou every one , it means a lot, your kind words.
