Please PRAY for my Panda!!! --- UPDATE - He's ALL BETTER NOW!!!

[kimlovescats]

Something is wrong with my Panda! He is not eating, drinking, is listless and depressed. He was absolutely fine yesterday or at least seemd it!!! I am scared to death, I have that terrible feeling I've had each time one of my kitties were diagnosed with FIP or Feline Leukemia. He had all of his kitten shots, so it would more likely be the FIP.

I CANNOT lose my big armful, loverboy, Panda!!! He comes up to me, stands on his back feet and stretches up to give me nose kisses! He loves to be held and give you nose, face and ear kisses! He will literally hug you back! PLEASE pray for him! I will be calling my vet first thing in the morning!!

This is my Panda ... he is one of my Maine Coon brothers.

I hope Panda starts feeling like his old self really soon. He is soooo beautiful. I hope that it is nothing serious. My Maine Coon takes wonderful care of his coat and throws up alot of hairballs on a regular basis but on occasion he becomes very listless and won't eat or move or drink and it always scares me and then the following day, sometimes even two days later he throws up a big hairball. And then he is instantly back to himself and full of energy etc..For some reason, some hariballs are tougher on him than others. I hope that this is all that your gorgeous Panda is dealing with but you know your cat and what is normal for him so I'm glad you're contacting your vet tomorrow. I'll say a prayer for him right now!

Fingers and paws crossed here that Panda is just having an off day and he'll be back to normal soon.

thoughts and prayers on the way..

Oh no! I hope it's nothing more serious than a hairball. Mitzi gets listless like that occasionally. A couple of day's treatment with Petromalt and she's back to her spunky self. Panda prayers coming your way!

[Catty1]

Oh, I remember Panda and his story, how he arrived with his brother!

I hope it is nothing serious!

Do you have any Petromalt - or even some olive oil he night lick off your finger or groom off his paws if you smeared a bit on there?

Prayers for that beautiful baby!

Kim, I sure hope that he'll bounce back to his normal self and that it's nothing serious. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Kim, many prayers coming your way for Panda. (((hugs)))

Prayers coming your way. As Emerald said our Coon Chessie comes up with these amazing hairballs. He will stop eating for a day or two. We make sure that he has a hairball food and it does seem to help. Love the Coons he gives his mommy hugs and kisses, I get to scratch when mom is not around.

Panda is no worse this morning, but not really any better. He did lick a tiny bit of juice off of some wet food, but not very much. He hasn't coughed or acted like he has a hairball, but I hope it's just something like that. I don't have any hairball remedy, just Nutri-Cal, so I gave him a bit of that.

I'm waiting for my vets office to open in about 20 minutes. Going to hop in the shower now in case they tell me to bring him right in. I'll post when I get back home.

Please pray for my special big boy!

Not too long ago I took my Pidge in to my vet for the very same reason, she was listless, not appearing to be eating and drinking, etc. She checked out A-OK. My vet said "Sometimes cats have off days, too." Let's hope that this is the case w/Panda and that all is well. Big prayers going out......

Smudge is a Maine Coon too, and when he's got a major hairball he loses his appetite and gets scary sick-cat bad breath! And he won't eat petroleum-based anti-hairball treats. BUT he does enjoy Cat Lube - it's chicken flavored, petroleum-free, made of herbs and enzymes. I just break them up over his kibble. He still horks the occasional Hairball from Hell, but some of it comes out the other end too, and he's never blocked up for long. It also helps that I found a combination of brush and comb that he really enjoys. His fur is VERY thick and fluffy, so I use a shed-n-blade to loosen the shed fluff and a slicker brush to pick it up afterward.
