A few prayers, please. For Mr. Meow. ultrasound results 8--2--07

[Catty1]

I am sure you tried a few foods, but....is it possible that he is picky and doesn't like the food?

And he has sniffles, so all I can think about is trying really stinky stuff under his nose...

And are his teeth ok?

(I am sure you checked these...but just wondered.)

EAT, BABY BOY!

[jenluckenbach]

Yup, I checked his teeth twice and the vet said they only have a little tartar. YES, I suppose he is finicky. I have tried several things. not sure what else will convince him to eat, but I will keep searching.

Smelly tuna, some salmon, I think someone else with a sick kitty is feeding baby food? How worrisome. Prayers coming to you both!

[jenluckenbach]

baby food....NOPE. Tuna.....NOPE. Fancy Feast canned, several varieties.....NOPE.
Cheese.....NOPE. Crab stick.......NOPE. Burger......NOPE.
canned a/d......NOPE. Fancy Feast dry...... NOPE. Kitten food, 2 varieties.....NOPE.
4 other types of dry food......NOPE

SIGH.

[Catty1]

Does he sniff the stuff - or just ignore it???

Just a long shot - what did he eat where he came from?

Green beans and corn, with your luck...

[emily_the_spoiled]

15 to 20 mls is just over one tablespoon. I doubt very much that is enough food for him (if he were willing to eat).

Maybe like Gary's cat's he is a fan of KFC???

[jenluckenbach]

Panic mode. He's gonna DIE! He won't eat and I can't stop crying.

I gave even more food via the syringe tonight, and after his morning FORCING I will call the vet again.

I am so depressed.

Mr. Meow! PLEASE EAT SOMETHING! This is your Russian aunt in San Francisco DEMANDING that you start eating! Please?

[Catty1]

Oh, Jen...I hope all is ok...I hope Mr M isn't headed for the Bridge...but you and the vet are in the best position to know what's happening and what to do.

BIG prayers! HUGS!

One last thought....is he constipated by any chance? Hope it could be as simple as that - no room?

[cassiesmom]

Please eat, sweet boy. JenL, did he have any health problems when he came to you? (thyroid or diabetes or anything that might give him less of an appetite)

[jenluckenbach]

Not constipated. He just left a perfectly normal poop.

I have been force feeding him with a mixture that INCLUDES the nutrical.

He was a stray at a shelter. All I know is that he was not eating, but then he started eating, but then he moved to me and stopped eating again.

The appointment is in 45 minutes. Hopefully the blood work will show something FAST!
