Now My Blaze Is Having Problems:Update 2/5/12

Just a caution here that antibiotics such as Baytril can also cause constipation so you may need to add some Lactulose in his food to ease the exiting of the extrement... (oh such a way of putting it )

Thanks for letting me know. I usually have problems with diarrhea when I give my cats antibiotics. I usually don't feed Alani & Blaze very much canned food because this will give them loose stools. Maybe now I should give Blaze more canned food. The food he eats does have a lot of fiber in it and it's Chicken Soup For The Cat Lover's Soul Adult Light Formula.

Yay, Blaze! It sounds like you are on the mend! Gentle *kiss* for you, sweet redhead kitty -- *kiss* for Alani, too

Sorry for being late...

I'm glad you managed to get some medicine into him. Blaze, be a good boy and let your mommy give you what you need - you'll feel so much better, AND it sounds like you'll be out of the bathroom tomorrow. Isn't that wonderful! Hope you are back to normal soon, sweetie!

Fister and I sends purrs and kisses.

Glad Blaze is feeling better! It is so scary when we can't figure out what is wrong.

A laryngeal infection! Never heard about that in cats but there is always a first time. I am so glad it is something that can be treated. I hope Blaze feels better soon as I am sure Alani will miss him.

Thanks everyone. Well he's now out of the bathroom and is feeling so much better. He was giving me problems again this morning when I was medicating him and when I gave him sub-q fluids. I'm so glad that I don't have to do this much longer. Now I'm a little concerned about Alani because he's been having coughing attacks since Monday night. I thought he was trying to cough up a hairball so I gave him a lot of the hairball medicine but it didn't seem to help him. He's still eating well and acting normal. I e-mailed my vet about him and she told me to just watch him for now. I can also bring him in with Blaze on Tues. morning if he's still having problems. I sure hope that it's not anything related to Blaze's illness because if it is then it does sound like it's contagious. Please also send some prayers and positive thoughts Alani's way.
