Corkscrew is sick again. (new update post 127)

[Catty1]

Corkscrew...what is the MATTER, sweetie? Please start eating on your own so your meowmie doesn't worry, and can get some rest!

Do you think there is any point contacting the pet psychic to see what Corkscrew is thinking? Or I guess this is just all physical...

HUGS and PRAYERS!

Corkscrew is still in my thoughts and prayers.

Corkscrew still isn't showing any real signs of improvement. He's stopped asking for attention and now spends all of his time under the bed. The force feeding sessions aren't going very well, I think he's starting to get fed up with everything. We tried doing sub-q fluids at home but it really seemed to stress him out so I'm not sure if I should continue or not. He started vommiting again and despite putting him back on anti-nausea medicine he is vommiting at least once a day. I can't help but wonder if I'm doing all of this for his sake or for mine. I spoke with my vet on Tuesday and he suggested running more tests on him but the truth is that I really can't afford to do anything more. I'm also just not sure if running more tests will help. I starting to feel that he isn't going to be able to bounce back. I'm not totally ready to give up on him yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I see some kind of sign soon.

Laura, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that he'll start showing some signs of improvement. Everything you're posting sure makes me remember my RB Pepper when he was so sick. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Corkscrews way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

{{{{{{{Laura}}}}}}}. I am so sorry that Corkscrew is so sick. I certainly know how yo feel about more tests. Sometimes they don't even give you the answers you need. you and Corkscrew are in my prayers.

[K & L]

I'm so sorry to read this. I will pray things take an upward swing for you and Corkscrew. Good luck with this.

[Medusa]

Sometimes we can run tests endlessly and still can't get to the heart of the matter. I'm so sorry that Corkscrew is still sick and not responding. You'll know in your heart whether or not to continue w/it and you'll do what's best for him. Mega prayers going out to you both.

I ALWAYS SECOND GUESS MYSELF AS ONCE THEY PUT THE NEEDLE IN THE ARM, ITS TOO LATE TO RECONSIDER.
WE ARE PRAYING FOR CORKSCREW AND YOU, AND WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR YOUR DEAR FRIEND.

Things are still the same with Corkscrew. I bought him a new cat bed today to help make him comfortable and he really seems to be enjoying it. He spent most of today lying in his new bed looking content with his new furniture. We will be going to the vet again either tomorrow or Friday to see what the vet has to say. I'm hoping that he's gained some weight or the vet can see at least a glimpse of improvement in him. We are still force feeding, and he's still vommiting, however he is using the litterbox regularly to pee and poop so at least that's a good sign.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Laura, I sure hope that he's gained some weight and that he'll start showing some improvement. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

[jenluckenbach]

Poor sweet Corkscrew. It hurts me to know that you are not getting better. You are still in my prayers.

[rg_girlca]

Prayers and positive thoughts still on the way for your precious Corkscrew.

[Anikaca77]

My prays are with you and Corkscrew.

[Uabassoon]

Thank you so much to everyone who kept him in their thoughts. I was starting to think that he was never going to get better then all of a sudden he started acting like his old self. It's so nice not having to wake up at 2:45 a.m. to feed him before work, I now get to sleep in until 3 . He seems to be back to normal. He's actually begging for food! It's just so nice to finally have my little bratty kitty back.
