Panther is acting wierd..updated..not good

[fragrancehound]

I just ordered a few things from Medi Vet including some syringes and an oral electrolyte solution to help keep him hydrated. The shipping was expensive but I want it by the end of the week.

I am so sorry to hear about Panther...could it be a reaction to his surgery?

I hope the dear boy gets some food into him soon...

Please give him lots of hugs from me...he is such a beautiful boy.

PT Prayers for Panther coming your way, all I've got!

HUGS

Oh dear I have just gotten caught up on the story. I really can't imagine the drain that you must be going through right now. Its really hard to watch your pet go through something like this. But I would have to give you an A+++++ for being a fantastic mom for sure. Panther is in a wonderful place living with you. Its so hard to have to face an obstacle that you are. And to still try the things you have is a amazing. Try to get some sleep I completely know how hard it is. But being sick and having a sick kitty makes for a bad deal for the both of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Panther. He knows how much you love him and that you are doing everything in your control to help him out. Its so unfair to feel unable to "Fix the problem" keep us updated on his condition and we will try to give you the support that you need. Keep your head up!!

It is just not looking good. I talked to my regular vet and she thinks that with all the injections of pecid, anti-nausea, appetite stimulants and so on that they would have had some effect by now. Unfortunately they have done very little for Panther. He has not shown any signs of improvement. She thinks Panther might have some kind of intestinal cancer, a bacterial thing or some kind of blockage especially because of his thickened intestine. There is no way of telling unless a biopsy is done. Right now he is even too weak to go through surgery.

My biggest fear is that he may have to be put to sleep. The prognosis is not good. I don't know what to do.

Oh, hon...all I can offer is prayers...

Someone likely mentioned this already...but is there a vet training centre anywhere near you? They may check him out for a better rate.

Maybe the cancer had spread and no one knew? If he maybe does have bacterial infection - would antibiotics help, or even some Prednisone (steroids?)

I pray for a miracle, hon...I hope he just snaps out of it.

Is he comfy right now? Enjoying affection?

As for food...maybe try some really stinky tuna? That might perk up his tastebuds.

I am so sorry...I can only imagine what you are going through. Panther is very very loved...just keep loving him.

You are doing your tremendous very best, so give yourself a hug too.

Prayers and hugs again...

Gosh, I'm sorry to see that Panther has not improved. It's so hard and frustrating when you've tried everything and nothing seems to work. Panther will let you know when the time is right, but in the meantime try to keep him comfortable. Please know that we're all here for you. I'll continue to pray that Panther improves. Please keep us updated. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

**hugs**

I think the steroids and anti-b's are one more thing you can try. Hopefully your vet can dispense just a few, to get him started and see if it helps.

HUGS!

Remember - if the worst happens - no guilt. You have done everything you can and gone way and beyond for your furbaby. You love him absolutely. That is as clear as anything.

Nothing to add except my prayers and good thoughts for Panther.
