I'm sorry to hear about Storm. Sending prayers and good vibes his way.

Aw, poor boy. I can relate. I'm on an antibiotic right now, too, and it does mess up the stomach about right. Sure hope Storm feels better really soon.

Thanks everyone.

He seems more alert and seems to have improved tonight. He was also very hungry but I did get home late so they had a later dinner than usual. I do have some scarf and barf cats and one of them did throw up their dinner back in my bedroom.

I didn't see which cat it was but I sure hope that it wasn't poor Storm. Storm did come up to me in the kitchen meowing like he was still hungry and I told him that he had just eaten. I'll feed everyone again before I go to bed so hopefully things will go better then. Thanks again.

My vet said that I can start brushing Storm's teeth in about 1 week so I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi everyone. Storm's still not his usual self yet.

He's been throwing up again and not eating very well.

I've been giving him Forti Flora to help his tummy and it seemed to work wonders on Sat. and Sun. early Mon. but I came home to more liquid throw up last night.

After Storm barely ate his canned food, he threw up more liquid.

I ended up giving him 1/2 of a pepcid tablet in a pill pocket and later on he was able to eat some dry and little canned food.

One of my cats threw up during the night but I don't know if it was Storm or not. This morning all Storm would eat was a little baby food mixed with the Forti Flora. He barely ate any dry and wouldn't touch his canned.

I e-mailed my vet and she won't be in the office until next Mon. She said he may need to be seen if he continues to throw up which I will do but I'd have to see some one else.

I also noticed that he cut his upper lip on the left hand side where his left canine was removed. I think he was chewing on some sisal rope that's on the cat tree. It looks better today though. Please send some more positive vibes his way. Thanks.

Goodness, he's sure got you jumping through hoops, huh? Poor li'l guy. I hope you're able to get to the bottom of this soon for his sake and for your sanity.

I'm so sorry about poor Storm...it really wouldn't be a bad idea to take him to the other vet, though, maybe that vet will think of something no one else has yet. Prayers for Storm...

Thanks everyone.

He's doing a bit better tonight. I didn't find any throw up when I got home. He seemed very hungry but he didn't want to eat too much. I've started giving him 1/2 packet of Forti Flora in the morning and 1/2 packet of it at night and I mix it with baby food. This seems to be better for Storm so far. I think that by giving him the whole packet at once that this may have been causing his stomach to become upset. I know this also happened with Sky in the past.

After the Forti Flora kicked in he wanted to eat again so I gave him some dry food. He really needs to gain some of his weight back. He's a very large cat and should weigh no less than 14lbs. I'm going to feed all of my cats again before I go to bed so hopefully Storm will eat well for me. I hope that from now on he'll continue to improve and finally get back to normal again.
