Corkscrew is sick again. Long Overdue Update 8/27

[krazyaboutkatz]

Laura, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll continue to keep both of them in my thoughts and prayers.

What kind of food are you feeding them? I don't want to scare you but with all of the recalls lately sometimes it's the food that's been causing animals to become sick.

Laura you and the kids our in our prayers. The CREW and I hope that this can be taken care of soon.

my prayers go out to you ! i hope everything goes well

My prayers are with you and your dear Tibby. Once, a vet gave my orange guy, MacGyver, no chance of survival. Three years later, he's still with us, as ornery and wonderful as ever! I'm pulling for Tibby!

How are Corkscrew and Tibby feeling today? My prayers continue.....

I know that this update is long overdue, but better late than never! I had been forcefeeding and giving Corkscrew sub-q fluids for two months and I was starting to think that he was never going to get better. I finally had to give myself a cut off date, I told myself that if he wasn't eating on his own by the end of the first week of August I was going to have to put his down. Just like the last time, the death threat worked! A day before I had planned to put him down he started eating on his own It's been a couple weeks now and he is finally back to his old self again!

It is still very exciting for me when I see him fighting with Tibby or biting at my toes demanding that I top off his bowl with fresh food. I just wanted to thank everyone who prayed and sent caring thoughts my way

OMG! I am so happy to read this update!! Was any reason ever found for his lack of appetite??
I force fed a cat (Mr meow) for 3 weeks straight, once, but never for as long as CorkScrew. Thank heavens for your persistance.

Nope, we never figured out what caused both him and Tibby to get sick. Tibby recovered very quickly, after just a couple of weeks. All my friends were shocked at how long I kept it up with Corkscrew. It was rough, but well worth it. He is my heart kitty and my baby and I didn't want to give up hope on him.

What great news!

Every so often there seems to be a cat on PT that is sick with "something" that can't be diagnosed - and it goes away on its own (and often in its own time ).

Give both kitties lovies for me, please?

Your post made my day! A few years ago, one of my boys came down with "mystery illness". He stopped eating and drinking completely. I took him to both my vet and a specialist, no one could really figure it out. I took him home and force fed him and also gave him fluids. Two days later he started recovering. Funny how love can keep them going, isn't it?

Oh happy day! What a great update! Way to go, Corkscrew!
