More Filou worries- 1/28 good update post 128

Barbara - could any of the meds be compounded into a cream that could be rubbed on his ear?

That might give Filou a better chance.

Prayers for Filou and you.

I hope that Filou will begin to eat more and get his appetite back. I can imagine that the UTI must have been so uncomfortable. Maybe as that goes away, his hunger might return? Prayers that this happen.

p.s. I think Candace's idea of transdermal gel is a good one. Maybe there is an appetite stimulant in the cream that you could put in his ear.

I'm sorry that I didn't see this thread until now.
I hope that Filou eats better and starts to feel better soon.
Let him eat whatever he wants as long as he eats.
Give him a gentle hug and kiss from me.

I'm just now seeing this but I want you to know I'll be sending lots of prayers for your beautiful boy and I'm keeping you all in my thoughts.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Right now the news are a little bit better. Filou was fine in terms of (bad) behavior on the weekend. He also started to eat - about 20 portions per day, some of them as few as three kibbles but also including one egg yolk per day and some minced beef. So he has gained an ounce or so which makes me happy as at least the weight has stopped to go down.
The vet considers again homeopathic meds. They are a little bit easier to administer as they are very small pills or drops so I think we'll give it a try. He had them at several times during his disease but we'll stop it if he gets annoyed with it and stops eating.

I'm so pleased to hear that Filou is eating something. I have spent so much time thinking about him. I hope he knows how worried people are!

I can just imagine you scouring the shops in search of tempting treats for Filou.

Keep it up, Filou. I am still sending all my hungry vibes your way.

So glad to read that Filou is eating a little. Better and better every day, a step at a time. The Fur Posse is rooting for you, Filou!
