Corkscrew is sick again. Long Overdue Update 8/27

[RICHARD]

Tibby seems to be doing a little better. Today she spent a half hour in my lap letting me brush her and then I was actually able to get her to eat a few treats! Corkscrew is still the same, he hasn't improved or declined in any way.

Sending you out some good thoughts for you, the 'kids' and your household.

I'm so sorry to learn that both Corkscrew and Tibby are seriously ill. I'll keep them in my thoughts and hope they will soon get better.

Any ideas what caused their liver problems? I think it is really strange that both of them have this.

Laura, thanks for keeping us updated about them. I'm so glad to hear that Tibby is starting to eat on her own and I hope that she'll continue to improve. I hope that Corkscrew will start improving and be able to eat on his own very soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent their way.

Does your vet know what may have caused this?

The vet isn't really sure what caused this. With Corkscrew his thyroid levels here high so there is a possibility that might be the cause. Corkscrew also gets stressed really easily. For almost all of May I had various house guests, one with a very loud dog. So it is also possible that he was so stressed out he stopped eating which caused his liver to stop working.

With Tibby we are clueless as to why she is sick. We ran more tests on her then we did Corkscrew but everything came back negative. Our only other option is to run more expensive tests however I don't have any more money so it really isn't an option for me. Thankfully Tibby is starting to get better and is acting more like her normal self.

I've found that stress can be a big factor too. I'm also dealing with a cat that won't eat. My baby girl Ziggy went to the vet on Sun. for her annual exam and as of last night she's not eating or eating very little. She's also lethargic and just not her normal active or hungry self. Her nickname is "Ziggy The Piggy" because she loves food so much. She becomes very stressed out at the vets so I'm thinking that this must have caused her to become ill. If she doesn't improve by tomorrow morning, I'm taking her back to the vet for another check up.

I hope that Corkscrew's thyroid levels become normal again and aren't the cause for his illness. It sure would help if our furkids could just tell us what's wrong.Take care. (((HUGS)))
