PM Craftlady and ask her if her Reiki person knows someone in your area.

PS does taking him off all his stuff help? Sometimes the cure makes one almost sicker than the treatment.

At this point I can't really tell what is working and what is helping. I am trying to keep him hydrated and fed. He threw up again this morning. It seems like even the simplest things like baby food don't agree with him right now. I keep hoping for some miracle.

Oh my, what sad news. I am so sorry that you and Panther are going through this.

and YES,

Do you ever second guess yourself wondering if you should have done things differently??

We have all wished we had taken a different path at one time or other. But know in your heart that you are trying to the best of your ability. Sometimes "things" cannot be fixed.

Losing Panther (some day) will be hard, but it will be so much more guilt-ridden if you prolong a painful experience.

So do your best, and let God do the rest. My prayers are with you.

Is Panther happy? Like, still enjoying life? Is he his normal self, except for the tummy trouble?

[fragrancehound]

He will have small bursts of energy but certainly not like his usual activity level. I know he doesn't feel well but I don't think he is in any pain, aside from his tummy. After my inital experience with taking him to the emergency vet in the middle of the night he hasn't made those blood curdling meows again. Thank goodness!

He has not vomited since this morning. I was able to give him some baby food and Pedialyte this afternoon. I have my fingers crossed that he will be able to keep it down.

Craftlady gave some helpful links to vets who practice holistic medicine and reiki. I am going to call one of them and see what they can do. I will probably have to bring Panther back to my vet again tomorrow for some more fluids.

I am just having a very difficult time with this situation. My poor fur baby was able to overcome his cancerous tumor but is failing miserably with his intestinal trouble. Emotionally I feel like I am falling apart. I know I am going to have to deal with the very real possibility that I might have to put Panther to sleep but it hurts like hell just thinking about it.

Call one of those Reiki people...they might be able to start some healing on him, and buy you some time.

I hope he keeps his food down too.

I know this is really really hard to do - but he is so close to you, he is pcking up your vibes. Just my opinion, of course. But try and be inwardly calmer when you talk to him and cuddle him. Give him good vibes!

It ain't over yet, kid!

I'm so sorry your going through this! I've been dealing with vomiting, possible IBS/food allergy with Nakita. I feel like we're trying everything but getting no where. I do know that *if* it's IBS - Slippery Elm is helpful to coat the intestinal track and aid in calming irritation.

It can't hurt to talk with a holistic vet in the meantime. You can find one here: Holistic Vet Locator But I do agree with Jen - you have to balance possible treatments with quality of life.

((Hugs to you and Panther))
