Good news referral vet is happy to not put him back on ab's just the liver protector and he does not have to have a check up until April!

I have another theory on his poo :frown2: :shocked: if he goes to the toilet less than 24 hours from the last time he has had a poo, he tends to have more of an issue than when he goes 24 hours after the last time he went. Which is mainly outside. Bare with me..

..so if he say went Saturday and tray deposit all fine, Sunday morning we get up he goes out and comes back with poo all over his tail. Then today tray deposit all fine (tho I don't know what time he went ) there must be some significance in this that I'm just not seeing :mad2:

His poo is still squidgy and not as firm as it was last week..but that could be the stress of the vet visit..who knows!?!

YAY FOR THE REFERRAL VET'S DECISION!!

RE the poo issue, I understand what you're getting at.... maybe its because it hasn't matured/solidified enough in the tummy? Also, Riley has had his pancreas checked to see its working properly right? Tom goes once a day only since he's had his enzymes, same time each day, and the enzymes help solidify as he can break down all the food and digest properly.... without them, the food would go in through his mouth and out without being digested very very quickly, and give him squidgy poo..... so maybe its a similar thing with Riley? Maybe not with the pancreas, but maybe he's low with something and it's having a similar reaction??

His pancreas test was all fine..I just can't put my finger on it..but I will..

Hope Tom is well..

Brilliant news Nicola , you must be so relieved Cant really offer any "thoughts on the poo situation although you could be on to something with the timing.
Maybe you need to keep a poo diary

Looks like its my turn to ask for positive vibes guys, Meeko hasn't eaten since yesterday and even then it wasn't much.He has picked at a bit of tuna,a few treats but nothing worth a mention really,he is quiet,sleepy although did have a 10 minute mad play at lunch time.
I gave him his mirtazapine this morning but not sure how much actually went in the cat.It hit his tongue first,causing him to froth and drool so may have lost most of it.I kind of hope so as it didn't make any difference to his appetite.
If he hasn't eaten overnight then it looks like we are off to the vets.

Oh no..sending lots of eating vibes Meeko's way! Just get one back on track...

Come on Meeko you need to eat..no poorly cats at Christmas please..:frown2:

Hope he eats and feels better very soon xx

I do have a poo diary

I used to have a "vomit chart" on the PC for Meeko I hasten to add

This has been lurking for a week or so,his appetite had dropped a bit but is now non-existant.Trouble is there is not a lot the vet can do,unless there is something else going on.

Hope it doesn't come to needing a vet visit as that just stresses him and makes him worse

I really hope a vet visit can be avoided..let me know xx

Will do,hopefully if needed they will fit me in sometime tomorrow with Scott ,if not I'll must have to go with who ever is available,as long as it isn't the useless a*se that told me to feed him boiled chicken,when a) it seems that is something he may be allergic to and b) he wouldn't eat anyway

Like the vet that said Riley's bum issues was probably due to having a poo on an ants nest..what everytime? :mad2::mad2:

Now I will only ever see katrin..if she leaves the vets we will stalk her!!

:lol: :lol: I feel like that with Scott he is so easy to talk to and will actually research anything I mention if he hasn't heard of it (ie food/supplements/etc)
Being an Animal Hospital does have its advantages in having vets for "all situations" so there are others there who I do trust.

Oh sh*t I knew I had forgotten something Hope I don't need to go tomorrow,I forgot to buy something for Uncle Scott and his band of helpers I could manage a tin of of sweets and a bottle of naf wine but not what I would give,if I had a choice.

I'm sure they would be thankful..

I suppose I could always go back in with something a bit better.Getting bu**er lugs fixed is more important ,hes lying ,legs in the air without a care in the world,or at least that's how it looks

All crossed he eats..xx

If a member posted on the forum for advice I would say give usual food,if not eaten, don't replace with something else.Why the hell can I not take my own advice I have saucers of different stuff all over the house in the hope he will be tempted.

You are not alone..remember I bend down and pretend to eat from the bowl!! I put fresh out..you are not alone!! Hopefully he will eat over night

Tried that and got "the look" I wish I had never heard of "hepatic lipidosis" it scares the hell out of me

I think it is time I left him to it,hopefully he will find his appetite overnight,he has plenty of things to tempt him .I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow,thanks for listening to my ramblings x

Google is not your friend :frown2:

Hope for a better morning ..nite xx

 

Well no improvement so off to the vet we went.He has a very gassy tum,temp normal and all other vitals are fine worrying bit is his weight has dropped from 4.9kg to 4.6kg
He has had a b12 inj and a cerenia inj too both stung him and he was even more unhappy
He has an apt for tomorrow morning if no better with a view to having bloods done and an xray to see if there is something else going on I'm more worried now than I was before I went.

Oh no not the news I was hoping to read. Is he still quiet and not eating? Hopefully the b12 will work as it's meant to stimulate appetite.. Still hopefull it's just a blip and normal Meeko service will resume xx

Has there been any change in food or treats? Only other thing I can think of as to why he is gassy. It's good his temp is normal.

I won't say try not to worry..as I would be the same..

Truck loads of positive vibes coming your way xx

Still quiet and still not eating , but the cerenia made him very sleepy last time so hard to tell if he is feeling better now as he is asleep .He often has a gassy tum it seems to be a side effect of his form of IBD,but Scott says it is worse than he has felt it before.
No change in foods or treats so don't know what is causing it.I hate seeing him so down

 

Poor little man..hopefully a good sleep will help

 

Oh poor Mr M hope he's feeling better soon x

He has just had nearly half a bowl of water , don't know what that is all about still not interested in food but does seem a bit more relaxed.Looks like he will be going to vet again in the morning
I will get the bloods done anyway whether he is a bit better or not,might as well.Hopefully it will rule things out.
