What would you do? (**Update 6-18-09 - need your prayers)

When my Ziggy stopped eating and was in the hospital, they force fed her some canned A/D and I brought some of it home and she ate it here too. It's very easy to mix with water and put in large syringes if you need to force feed her. They also gave her a vitamin B-12 shot and I'm supposed to give her another one tomorrow. This is supposed to help her appetite and maybe it would also work for Sydney. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

Yes, the food was A/D. Mac hated it, but it brought him right around and put weight back on him. He had gone from 9 pounds to 7 pounds, but he needed to lose a little weight, anyway. Now, he weighs about 8 pounds and is healthy. Never give up hope.

It's in the nature of cats, isn't it, that the ones who need AD rarely like it but the ones who definitely don't need it are so keen they will lick it off the sick cat's whiskers!

Today she didnt seem as if she felt as good as she did yesterday. She was less interested in the Tuna, and more interested with going outside. I am going to talk to the vet today about getting some pain medicine and more Prednisone. **Sigh**

I really hope she feels better

I have not posted in a while... but those that remember me will know I have always had multicat households and my guys have usually been long-lived. It is so hard when they get so ill that you can't be sure what they would want you to be doing.

It sounds as if you are and continue to be your cat's loving advocate... In all the years I've had pets I have learned that you need to listen with your heart to what they want. You will know when you are helping him fight his illnesses and when you are fighting not to lose someone you love but who has gotten tired of the fight and wants to let go.

This is not to say that this is that time. You know your cat and you know yourself. You both have my strongest wishes for the best. Whatever happens, remember the love you share never ends.
