update #16- Seine passed away

[Medusa]

Check to see if she's at all dehydrated by tugging on her fur a little to see if the skin snaps back. If not, she's dehydrated. Also, my Boo was just recently diagnosed as hyperthyroid but he doesn't eat much either. Usually their appetites are voracious and they still lose weight but he doesn't eat much at all. It's because he became so thin that I had my vet check him out. You probably should do that anyhow just to be on the safe side. I sure hope all is well w/Seine.

Thanks for the advice. I have noticed a bit of an improvement already, so I think she is starting to gain. She also isn't dehydrated, I checked her skin and I see her frequent the water bowl several times a day.

I'm pretty sure she was stressed because we were gone and also because she and Pippin don't always get along and sometimes when I am not there he bullies her by staring her down. She was probably upset. I've started to let them outside separately (they have an enclosed cat area outside) for an hour or two each day and I think that calms them down so they don't have staring contests.

I also have a kitty with separation issues...stress could very probably be your culprit. There are some kitties who are OK with their humans on vacation, and others that are not. Mine is OK with eating, mostly, she shows her stress at the other end, but it'll be back to normal soon. It's very tough, though, to know they're going through that!

Well things seemed to be going better then last night I noticed her ears were jaundiced. I took her to the vet and she will have to be there a few days to get her liver flushed and a feeding tube placed. She has fatty liver disease from not eating which thankfully can be reversed with the treatment. Please keep her in your thoughts!

Oh my goodness, that would've scared me to death! I'm so glad that it's under control. Get better, Seine! (((HUGS))) to your mom, too.

Oh my, I really hope she will be better soon.

[Pinot's Mom]

Poor baby! (((((hugs))))) to both of you!

Prayers for Seine - I am glad the fatty disease can be reversed!

In the future - gosh, if you go away, will she have to be on a mild tranny or something? See what the vet suggests. Or get a reading from Nancy Efrusy - she is amazing. Will find her email addy for you if you want to go this route.
