Persianmom's Taz needs lots of prayers!

Poor Taz... get better soon!

Prayers for Taz.

Let's start with some ideas. The antibiotic could cause the diarrhea. I would stop the antibiotic and take her to her regular vet.

FORCE feed her if you have too. Once she gets something in her stomach she can start to feel better. It is like a snowball effect. The cat doesn't eat because it doesn't feel well, and then it feels worse because it didn't eat. Often you need to force feed to get them back in the habit of eating (I know it sounds weird, but it's true). If nothing else, get some Karo syruo and rub it on the gums. Get's the blood sugar level up.

I am not sure what "all the tests" included, but Taz should at least visit with her own vet, not just the ER vet that may have never seen her before.

More prayers.

Prayers from Nebraska.......... Can they give her IV fluids and/or nutrition of some kind? Did she get into a poisonous plant or something? I sure hope things turn around and she starts eating and feeling better!

Oh gosh, I hope and pray that Carol is able to get Taz to start eating and can get some fluids into her.

Any news on Taz?

[moosmom]

Oh no!!

I think what JenL said is absolutely right. Antibiotics CAN cause diarrhea. I would definitely take Taz to her OWN vet where they are familiar with Taz. Force feeding her, even if it's putting canned kitten food (kitten food has more nutrients) on her finger and sticking it in Taz's mouth will help her taste it. It also might be that Taz can't smell the food. Cats won't eat what they can't smell.

HUGS and prayers coming from CT. Please, keep us posted!!
