Oh no, I wonder what's going on! I hope that you get to the bottom of it soon. It must really be worrying you. You have my prayers.

Oh no! I am SO SORRY to hear this. First, I was praying for Corkscrew, but now Tibby too? Many prayers for you and the cats.

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.

**GILL** · 06-04-2009, 01:04 PM

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

Oh No not Poor Tibby too!
We are praying that they didnt get a bad batch of Cat food , and taht they are all right ASAP.
Thats got to be so worrying to have both Your Fur Friends with the same symptoms.
We pray your White Coats can help them be well

I don't think it's the food because they were almost at the bottom of the bag, meaning they have been working on in for over a month. However, just in case I tossed out the rest of the bag and bought them a new bag of Innova. Thankfully Pocky hasn't been showing any signs of being sick. However today I was super excited when Corkscrew ate a few bites on his own which means that I might be able to cut him down to just two force feedings a day.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tibby. Please know that Tibby, Corkscrew, and you will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing for a quick answer and healthy kitties!

Groucho is sending feel better purrs and headbumpies to his pals and their Meowmie too......

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!

**momcat** · 06-07-2009, 06:35 PM

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

They aren't really doing much better, but they don't seem to be any worse. Corkscrew hasn't eaten on his own beyond those few bites he had the other day. However he does seem to be in better spirits, he is sleeping on the bed with me again and being mildly social which is usually a sign of feeling a little better.

Tibby is not doing nearly as well as Corkscrew she is still very jaundiced and not at all social. She has spent the last few days hiding at the bottom of the cat tree. The only good news I have about Tibby is that she has managed to hold down her last five meals without throwing up which is a good thing. Before that she was vomiting at least half, if not more of every meal that I fed her. We did decide to start giving her sub-q fluids at home so that might be helping her in regards to finally keeping some of her meals down.

So keep fingers and tails crossed that things will get better here. Thankfully Pocky is still as healthy as ever, I don't think I could have managed if all three of them were sick!

I'm glad that Corkscrew and Tibby are holding their own. I hope they start eating on their own again very soon and bounce back from this.

Hang in there! Healing thoughts are on their way.
