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

[moosmom]

Jen,

Thyroid was my very first thought. Bart is looking ragged but I attribute this to old age (14).

Since he's been on Methamizole, his fur is nice and soft, he seems to be putting weight on (he's on a holistic appetite stimulant). HoneyBun is a sweet cat. ALL orangies are!

I hope the vet can find out what's going on. A complete blood work-up should have answers.

Love and hugs to you both!!

We go back to the vet tomorrow for a recheck and to get word on what his geriatric blood work up showed. I hope things are ok. I was too thinking that his thyroid might be not working well, with the roughness of his coat.

Will update more tomorrow after the vet visit at 5pm.

Wish us luck!

Luck and good wishes and prayers for HoneyBun and you.

Any updates on Honeybun?

Honey is doing ok. His lower lip/jaw looks puffy, but that is just the tumor or whatever that is in there. He doesn't seem to be in pain, which is a good thing. I pray that I have him for a long time to come, but if he ends up in pain, then I know I will have to let him go.

He's eating like a champ. He gets 4-5 servings of pure'ed (spelling??) chicken or turkey a day. He loves it and is keeping weight on. I think his coat feels much better since he's eating it. He's also eating a little bit of dry kibble. I picked up Sensitive Stomach formula from Royal Canin because the kibble pieces seemed smaller and easier to manage than the round kibbles from Science Diet, and I have other cats with sensitive digestion. They all seem to like it, and hopefully we'll have less barfing with it than with other foods. The science diet was working well, but the size of the kibble worried me with Honey.

Thanks for asking!! Hope your kitties are doing well too!

Prayers on the way for comfort for the old dude.
