Prayers coming for Corkscrew. Poor little fella, and poor meowmie

[Uabassoon]

Things are still the same with Corkscrew. I bought him a new cat bed today to help make him comfortable and he really seems to be enjoying it. He spent most of today lying in his new bed looking content with his new furniture. We will be going to the vet again either tomorrow or Friday to see what the vet has to say. I'm hoping that he's gained some weight or the vet can see at least a glimpse of improvement in him. We are still force feeding, and he's still vommiting, however he is using the litterbox regularly to pee and poop so at least that's a good sign.

Laura, I sure hope that he's gained some weight and that he'll start showing some improvement. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

Poor sweet Corkscrew. It hurts me to know that you are not getting better. You are still in my prayers.

I was planning on taking him in today to see if the vet felt that it was his time to go since he hadn't been willing to eat on his own for three weeks and I had seen no sign of improvement. However we will not have to go in for our vets opinion today because he has finally shown me a sign!

Yesterday I was finally able to get him to eat some temptations, then last night I gave him some meow mix canned which he ate on his own! This morning he also ate some more meow mix canned all by himself! I bought some friskies dry that I'm going to leave out for him to see if he will eat and I'm going to keep offering the meow mix twice a day to see if he will eat it. I'm still going to keep up with the force feedings, but hopefully he will continue to eat on his own so that I can slowly wean him off. I realize that he's not out of the clear but at least he has finally shown some sign that he isn't ready to go yet.

Keep up the good work, sweet Corkscrew!

[Killearn Kitties]

Still hoping for the best for you and Corkscrew. Good to hear that he ate a little on his own.

More gentle PT Prayers for Corkscrew! Keep nibbling, sweetie!

I guess the force feeding, tough though it was, started healing his liver, so his appetite came back?

Hope it is all upward from here!

I'm so glad to hear Corkscrew is eating on his own now. Sending good thoughts that he'll continue and perk up even more.

Gentle kisses from me, and headbumpies from Fister.

This is Fantastic news.

Mr. Meow also had to be force fed for 3 weeks AND when he started to eat on his own, it was the Meow Mix canned that he wanted. What is in that stuff???

So Corkscrew.....you just keep on eating fellow.

LOL I swear that stuff is the nastiest looking catfood I've ever seen. It also sure does stink up a room! However if Corkscrew wants to eat it then I guess I'll just have to deal with the smell.

I'm so glad he's doing a bit better! I've been thinking of you!
