I hope that the depo will help him and that he'll gain his appetite back. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.
I had asked my vet about giving Starr steroid shots and she said that it wouldn't be as effective as giving them to him orally. He's so hard to pill so this is why he's now on liquid pred.
I did not syringe feed Mr Meow this morning. He needs to eat, but so far nothing. :( So I set him up in my 3 story cage with a great selection of foods. I told him he can come out when he eats. I pray that the depo shot and the new appetite stimulant pill I gave him yesterday will kick in sometime during the day.
I have everything crossed in the hope that this little baby will eat soon.Quote:

I use to take Amy for those depo shots. As she matures her ability to get around got worse and she would look so miserable and that "spark" wouldn't be in her eyes. After the shots she wouldn't get around any better but she would get that spark back in her eyes and start playing again. It was easy to see she felt better.
Hey Mr Meow!!! SOunds like Mom has put out quite a buffet just for you!!! Please try to eat a little!!!!
PT Prayers that Mr. Meow eats! C'mon, buddy...meowmie can't always be there to feed you...and she promises LOTS of cuddles when you do! :)
Jen, I hope the DP shot will ease any pain or "feeling" in his tummy that he thinks he "can't eat". I guess an injection would take any inflammation down pretty quickly?
HUGS!
Mmmmm! Oh, Mr. Meow, all that food smells soooooooo good! Surely it wouldn't hurt to try a little bit? And you know you'll get a big ol' cuddle when you do! Yum, tasty food...
Love, Columbine (you can borrow some of my appetite any time!)
No success. :( Nothing was even touched. :(
I'll try again tonight with new temping items.
Geez... he's a tough customer. :(
Have you tried rice and chicken or something like that?? Kitten food?? I'm sure you've tried most everything, so this has to be frustrating. What is left to try?!
Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that Mr. Meow is still not eating.:( When Storm was recovering from his PU surgery and he refused to eat, I tried the Gerbers Graduates Turkey Sticks and he loved them. Maybe you could try these. Mr. Meow continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers.
OMG! The boy actually ate some canned 9-Lives tuna :eek: :D :D
I did not allow him much (figuring his tummy couldn't handle it, and he would throw it back up) but I am about to offer more to him. So, we shall see.
WOO HOO! How happy (and relieved) can a person be??? :cool:
YIPPEE!!!:D This is excellent news!!!!:D I hope that he'll continue to eat and to keep everything down.:) I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
WOWEE!!! He did eat some more. This time some Meow Mix Market Select Tuna and Shrimp. It is a small tub (2.75 oz) and he ate half.....but it is a good start!
HUGE SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OF RELIEF!
:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D
GOOOOOOOOOD, MR MEOW!!!!!! http://www.hystersisters.com/vb2/ima...ies/bounce.gif
Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :)
OMG, I'm so glad he's finally eating!!
His meds seem to help him!! :)

(sorry for the late update)
Mr. Meow did eat this morning. Not a whole lot, but we are getting there. He also ate a little just now when I offered him some.
And last night (3 in the morning, I should say) he was laying by me with his nose and front paws in my neck.....PAW-PAW.....PAW-PAW....PAW-PAW.....Kneading, so sweet! And nuzzling his nose into me. AAAWWWW
I can tell he FEELS better, too.
I'm happy to hear that, Jen!
I keep on sending positive thoughts for sweet Mr. Meow,
Kirsten
What wonderful news! Thank you, Jen.
Keep going, Mr. Meow!!! You're doing just great! We are all continuing to send our prayers and encouragement and good wishes.
Pat and cats
