HoneyBun --- Is he eating TOO much???

[phesina]

Prayers for HoneyBun and you too, Jenn.

Oh dear, let's hope his weight loss is just that HoneyBun is getting older. We'll send up good prayers just in case, though. Keep the faythe, Jen.

He really looks skeletal, Mary. It's so sad. It just seemed to happen so quickly. Dave calls him "Pet Cemetary", and it's so mean. I know he's not the healthiest cat, but he is a sweetie and I don't want to see him suffer.

Now you've got ME worried! No chance thee vet can see him sooner?!

Prayers for HoneyBun!

I'm so sorry to hear about your HoneyBun. Hopefully whatever is causing this can be easily treated. I sure hope that he doesn't have any kind of lump in his mouth because if he does this makes me think of cancer. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Not sure what is going on with his mouth. He is having issues eating a little bit with the dry food. And I see a lot of bright red when he meows or yawns. I can't even get him to sit on me to look into his mouth, so it's really annoying me, and worrying me because I don't know if it's a lump, or if it's just a lot of swelling of his gums. His bottom lip looks swollen??

I'd go to the vet earlier, but I just have no money for it until payday next Thursday. Since Honey isn't Dave's, I'm not going to ask him to pay for it either. I don't think it's dire, cause if it were, I'd make payment arrangements with the vet, he's just so damn skinny.

Not to scare you , but it sounds like the same issue Sam had in the Fall of 2009. It was some sort of infection. Sam has chronic stomatitis so he gets infections easily.

Sam's mouth was bright red, too, and he had difficulty eating, drinking, and crying.

This Fall Sam had a lump in his mouth and it turns out it was a broken tooth, broken under the gum line, which is preferable to the tumor the vet thought it might be.

Did you tell the vet (not the techs) all that you have said here?

Last Fall both Sam and Spunky got sick the same month I found Jane. It was an expensive month.

I do hope it turns out well for HoneyBun and you. I hope you can get answers for his other issues. It's horrible when you know they don't feel well, but can't tell you why.
