Can Stress Make A Cat Become Sick? Latest Update: Ziggy Is Home 6-19-09

Thanks everyone. I've been on the phone several times last night and then again today. I can pick her up in about 1 hour. They've been force feeding her and she's been able to keep it down. I'm going to trade in the canned food that I have for some A/D and this is fairly easy to mix with water and force feed her if I have to.

I'll also be sent home with liquid pepcid, antibiotics, vitamin B12, and an anti nausea shot to use if needed. my vet had called in about her and told them to go ahead and take another ultrasound. The vet said that it looked much better so it sounds like her inflammation has improved. Hopefully she'll start eating and drinking again on her own and will be able to keep it down. Wish me luck.

Oh I certainly hope so! I'm glad you can pick her up today. Hopefully she'll feel more comfortable at home and continue to improve.

Ziggy is finally home and she looks a little skinny and smells like pee but other than that she looks good. The vet tech said that she was so funny because she'd do the elevator butt when they pet her and she'd start rolling in her cage and rub her chin against her water bowl. I think that after a while she enjoyed all of the attention that she was getting so maybe she's starting to come out of her shell. I have a bag full of meds,food, syringes etc. for her and she has to be seen in 1 week for a recheck or sooner if she starts vomiting or won't eat. I made the appointment for next Fri. the 26th at 9:30am with the vet that was in charge of her today because my vet is booked up and this vet seems very nice and like a wonderful vet. I hope that everything will go well from now on.

Ziggy's appetite is back and she was ravenous this morning. She ate all of the dry Innova Evo that I gave her so I gave her a bit more. I don't want to over do it though and have her throwing up. She's so good when I give her the antibiotics and also when I give her a pepcid shot. She's not running around playing like she normally does but I'm sure that she'll be doing this in time.

Fingers crossed that Ziggy's appetite is back to stay! This is a great update.

Thanks Karen. When I gave my cats their second morning feeding, Ziggy's appetite was very good again. She ate some of her Innova Evo dry food so then I gave her some of the canned A/D. She loved it and just ate until she was full. The only bad thing is that all of my other cats then stopped eating because they wanted this canned food too. I did give a little to my Sunny boy.

glad Ziggy is home...how is she doing now? and how are the other kitties doing?

Thanks for asking. She doing great and is eating well too. All of my cats are doing well. I decided to try some more fortiflora on Sky to hopefully clear up his mushy stools. I only started it yesterday and I'll continue this for at least 2 weeks or possibly longer. I hope it'll work on him like it did on Pearl.
