    Chris, I do have confidence in the vet, he has always been very nice and honest. However, he doesn't have so much time to talk as in the beginning. You get 20 min. for a consultation. There's a new woman vet there, also. She has seen Fister two times and I like her, too.

    Concerning B-vitamins, I asked about that and I honestly don't remember what he said, but I bring it up again. Is it possible to get the B-vitamins as pills, rather than injections?

    This is the vet's homepage, there is a picture of both of them: http://blaagaard-dyreklinik.dk/om-os/

    Fister ate a little wet food this morning with extra water in, like usual and when he comes out for his brushing, I will give him his pill. At least he likes to be brushed. I have this rubber brush that I wash with a nailbrush every day, and when I come in with that, he comes out from wherever he is.

    Randi, I THINK you can get them in pill form; however, I am not as familiar with that form in cats. Like you said, it may be something you talk to your vet about again at the next trip. I just know that we've had success using it in kitties.

    I spoke to the vet about B-vitamins, he discouraged it, since it can be harmful if he he gets too much.

    Fister is still pretty much the same, some days he will eat a little and some days hardly anything. I did give him some bits of raw calf liver, which he gobbled up right away, and he will mostly eat some of the Whiskas wet food, but only right after it has been opened. Have seen him a few times drinking from the Pet Mate, but very little.

    I may have to take him to the vet again, but this is not a good time, because it's freezing cold here.

    Maybe some raw food would be a good idea? Liver has a lot of nutrients in it.

    It must be so frustrating that the vets don't know - even the ask-a-vet people on that radio show?

    I wonder if a pet psychic would be a good idea?

    Well, it seems that he likes raw food and I know that Whiskas is junk food, but I'll give him anything he wants, just to make him eat. I'm glad to tell you that just an hour ago, after he's had a few slices of my steak (also raw), he went and had a little drink.

    Unfortunatly, Karen hasn't sent me the audio, yet, so I don't know what the vets said on that radio show.
