Ziggy's Sick Please Send Prayers & Positive Thoughts Her Way

[AbbyMom]

OH NO! Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Thanks again everyone this really means a lot to me. I was able to get her to eat a little wet food and she drank more water too. I told the vet that I thought that she may have a sore throat due to the anesthesia and he said that she might. Maybe this is one reason why she has stopped eating her dry food. I just hope that she'll continue to eat and drink for me so that the antibiotics will have a chance to kick in and then she'll be begin to feel better and eat normally again. Thanks again.

Oh no, poor baby!!! I'm glad you were able to get her right to the vet! Glad to hear she is starting to eat again for you! Please keep us updated on her and give her baby kitty loves for me!

It's hard seeing our fur babies not feeling well.

Fingers and claws crossed here for little Ziggy.

If I read this right, you got a vet appointment on a Sunday? Wow! That is great!

Hope the antibiotics kick in real fast. And a little rice helps with the loose stools. Get well Ziggy!

Good thoughts for little Ziggy. What a rough week.
Do you A/D for syringe feeding?
I start if a cat doesn't eat for 24hrs. Just extra calories and energy, while the antibiotics kick in.

Yes, I'm very lucky to have a veterinary hospital that is open 7 days a week. They're still only open until 5pm on Sat. and 4pm on Sun. but it sure does help. They're also only about 5-10 minutes away from me.

Ziggy is still only eating some wet food. I tried mixing in some of her dry kitten food but she just licked the wet off it and left it. The wet food I'm feeding to her is Storm's Royal Canin Urinary S/O which is the only wet food that I have on hand. Luckily she's still drinking plenty of water on her own. I hope that by tomorrow she'll be able to eat some of her dry food. Thanks again for all of your concerns.

Thanks for reminding me Rosethecopycat. I just happen to have 2 cans of A/D that I bought last year for Pearl and never had to use. It's still good until Dec.2006 so I'll try some of this later on tonight. I'm sure she'll love it.

This is very frustrating and scary for you, and distressing to see her in some discomfort. Have you tried yogurt? It helps with digestive upsets, especially loose stools, and is particularly helpful when a cat is on antibiotics. I use the full fat version (plain, of course) since my cats are far more attracted to it than with any fat reduced version. I hope that she starts to get better soon.

I was hoping for a happy update too....
What does your vet advize you to do? Just watch her and wait? What if she doesn't keep does pills in?
