Thanks Sandra,
Yesterday morning it was discouraging because I tried everything and he wouldn't eat, but by late last night, he did eat a little. He's getting so skinny. Tomorrow we're planning on steak, he SHOULD eat some of that!

Try not to get discouraged, Sue. I know it must be VERY hard. Did the vet say that the appetite would be affected for a while? Is he drinking enough? How about vomiting? Does Killi act otherwise as he usually does? I just hope he's keeping down what he takes in. Hang in there mom. You know I'm keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers ALWAYS! Love you guys. And Killi, here comes a great, big KISS AND HUG! Sandra.
I know this sounds expensive and time consuming but try either pureed food in the blender or baby food.and try spoon feeding to get the food down some times they just need it broken down a little more for them just as we do when we feel ucky.
With cats, heating up the food makes it smell better for the sick pet...You probably already knew that. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
When my cat was very ill, he even went up on the roof (a bad sign in cats, often it means they are getting ready to die). But he still ate a bit of food every day, enough to sustain him for about 5 days. With the medicine in the food, he pulled through!
It is amazing how their little bodies can heal. Yet another daily miracle. And one that is just waiting for Killian! Bestest Wishes from the kitties and me!

Our Vet suggested when Kona had an eating problem to mix hard boiled eggs, cooked rice and cottage cheese together and feed her and she did well. Its very bland, but it worked.
Hopefully Killian is doing better and he is eating more.. We are all thinking about you

Thinking of you this morning Killi. Please eat for Mama. I hear steak is on the menu for today!! We are all going to say extra prayers for you this morning Killi. Cody and Star send you all their love. Let us know how you are doing, OK sweet boy? Your friend Sandra
Hi, all,
Killi wouldn't eat yet, but we will try steak today. He's in a pretty good mood now. I'm surprised he isn't passing out from hunger, though. Thanks for the hugs and kisses! We send em back! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Hooray,
Killian ate some steak today. Actually, he ate a lot of it. I hope he continues to eat, but I can see a problem brewing that he won't ever want to eat dog food again. Oh well, at least he's eating for now. Wednesday is the big re-test day. I'm on pins and needles!
Sue
Oh, I am so glad. Even a little food will help stimulate the appetite. Let's hope that this is indicative that the crisis is over as well and his numbers are improving. Atta boy, Killian.
Yay Killian!! Before you know it he will be telling you whether he prefers his steak well done or medium rare!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif I hope he has turned a corner and is now heading down the road to a complete recovery!! Such good news!
Yeah, the transition from steak back to dog food might be a bit of a letdown for him, but hey, he's eating!
Yipeeeeeee! Good Boy Killian! I know your mom must feel just a bit relieved! Keep up the good work, beautiful, beautiful Killian! And if need be, we'll all take up a collection to keep you in steak forever! Big smacker kiss to you Killi!
Good boy, Killian! Steak huh? What a lucky boy! You gave such a good Mommy http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif And Shiloh sweetie, I hope you are getting some of these goodies too! Hugs and kisses to Killia in hopes that he gets better, to Sue for being such a wonderful Mommy, and to Shiloh, because it must be hard watching Killi get all this special treatment! Keep getting better, Killian!
Killian, keep up the good work because there are alot of people who love you! Keep eating that steak, cheese, meatloaf, and whatever else your great mom feeds you so you can get strong and stay strong. I'm praying for you, buddy.
Oh Sue!! I'm so sorry to hear about poor Killian. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif It must be very hard for Shiloh! I really do hope things get better with Killian!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Love and prayers from Sadie May and LabLover!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
