Actually I posted previously he NEVER DRINKS, but I have great news!!! I took the vets advice and went to Petco and got a kitty fountain and HE DRANK!!Originally Posted by smokey the elder
I have a foster with the same condition. Stress can bring it on; she had been bouncing from foster home to foster home. I had her on Cosequin for awhile; now she's not on everything and thriving. But, every cat is different.
I think the best barometer for a cat's well-being is: how well is he/she eating? That has been a solid indicator for my cats; which have had a wide range of health issues. If Irwin is eating, drinking, and doesn't have major behavioral changes, I would say just manage his condition as best you can. Good luck and give him a scritch for me, please.
Im totally shocked.
And I agree with the appetite thing, his appetite is great, he would eat all day if I let him. He also still plays with his little furry mice.
I also try and pay attention to behavioral things like, does he get up and sit on the window ledge to watch the birds anymore? Which he does.
He's still in and out of the litter, but he had surgery 3 days ago, so I want to wait and see if it gets better. I will pick up the Cosequin though. The dr is going to call me for an update tomorrow, so we'll see what she says.
Here he is this afternoon, he doesn't look terribly uncomfortable..
