Isnt that just typical ,but I suppose not surprising as they(IBD cats) have a sensitivity to ingredients so could have a tendency to react I would have thought.Hope he either wont need them or there is an alternative he can try.

He is looking very healthy so I'm hoping that means the liver is fixing itself as livers can..he won't have bloods done until April..but i do think he condition wise he is very good, which wouldn't be the case if the liver was deteriorating.

I will see what she thinks, but I'm bit overly concerned, to me to get the back end behaving and food being absorbed, weight gain etc will help the liver..that's what I hope anyway

Hope mr m is ok..

So pleased Riley is doing well and surely if he is looking well /maintaining weight etc as you say that doesn't point to a cat with liver issues.
Mr M is still doing okay,has the occasional "off day" where I have to relent and give some dry food but otherwise all seems to be heading the right way.
Just got a cheque from Pet Plan today for his last treatment £653 :w00t: not bad considering I only gave it to the vet on the 30 dec.With the holidays etc I expected it to take a bit longer

I'm just grateful for the good days and hopeful that any bad days pass quickly ,so far he always seems to come out of a "flare up" none the worse,long may it continue.

 

Hi all blue has had a teaspoon of grain free grau tonight. She was trying to eat an unopened pack of dog food which was in a carrier bag when I sprung her. I guess plain chicken n rc sensitive aren't doing it. i will be watching her keenly. Grau was chewed n bowl licked clean.

Hope all pussums are good x

Riley is currently trying to eat a cardboard box that's why he is not allowed to keep them now he is killing his toy mouse..so he is fine..all his toys are over the living room and he is "killing" everything

Pleased to hear blue is doing well..keep us updated

 

Spoke with my vet today, she thinks as long as he is showing signs of being well, its better to stop the distolit and im to keep monitoring him until his check up in April. I agree with her, he is clinically well right now. I weighed him on my scales last night and showed 4.42 kg I know different to vet scales but he is more chunky can't feel all his bones and see is hips anymore

I'm going to the vets to pick up his meds later, im wondering whether to take him for a weight check or not??

Sounds like Riley is still headed in the right direction,Difficult to know what to suggest re weighing ,I probably would take Meeko but he doesn't mind weighing too much as long as he doesn't have to see the "green man"

I decided not to take him as I had made a promise to him no vets until April

He is looking good right now so I'm happy with him and how he is..I would love to know what he weighs right now but it's more for me..so not that fair really to him as I don't thing there is a problem..if that makes sense

Perfect sense No point in breaking a promise just to confirm what you are already thinking .He is fine so no point in pushing your luck

You can send him down to me for "fat camp" maybe just holding out for the carbs when Riley is (still has his biscuit need) wanting his biscuit fix in just tell him..eat or don't eat it's your problem!! He then eats his wet..I've not had to give him biscuits for a while now..I was so worried about weight I would give in and give him a d/d biscuit..but now it's tough love..

Sadly not,I gave in a couple of days ago and gave him some dry food and he isn't even keen to eat that either.He hasn't stopped completely he is just picking at his food ,I'm just not sure what is going on with him.I will take him to the vet if he keeps it up or starts to look ill,but at the moment all I could say to the vet is he is being picky

That's the problem we see the minute difference in them and worry..come on. Mr m.. Riley is up and down with eating..sometimes normal, sometimes more, sometimes less..but I have to ride it.. Otherwise I would be in a straight jacket! However he does know now that I won't give in and I feel rubbish doing it but it's for the best..

Yo m Bruv..gotz to eatz man..juzt do it! From yor cuz!

If I hadn't given in I don't think he would have eaten a thing on Sunday,it was not a good day
Unfortunately he has just vomited up his last lot of food,not unusual for him but a worry when he isn't eating as much as he should be

I'm sorry to hear he is still not doing well..it does seem quite a long flare up..everything crossed it passes and he starts to eat normally again, without being sick..

Is there no other meds he can try?

There doesn't seem to be anything that will help as there is very little to treat.
He did so well for a couple of weeks eating wet food only and then he slowed down again and now isn't keen on eating much.He isn't totally refusing food just not eating enough

I used to bash up Riley's biscuits into a fine powder then sprinkle on top of his wet,,that worked for him..

Been there done that,crushed thrive/treats/biscuits/brewers yeast bits of Tuna loin from P@H nothing is shifting him.He picks as he passes but nothing more than that

 

Poor Meeko he is a worry for you Buffie. Hope he stops being so stubborn and his vomiting settles down.

Hope mr Riley is ok?

Karlo meanwhile seems to be taking a bit more interest in honeys beef. Wonders will never cease I've been feeding it to the others for ages and he's never shown any interest. Amazing what reducing his RC rations does!

I've discovered a nutriment stockist about a mile away, so will be trying that for the first time next week. Hopefully he will like that too!

 

Good to read that Karlo is doing well,I wish Meeko would give raw a try but he just doesn't see it as food

 

Hi everyone. Blue seems ok on grau. We have a couple of teaspoons a day with plain chicken and rc. She looks good coat wise and is back to her nutty self. Vets cheque came back for£105
we are staying where we are buy any wet food suggestions would be good as other threads are not specific to runny bots. Hope everyone behaving. Susan

 

Meeko was sick again last night and still being picky with food so off to the vet we went this morning,after discussing all the options we have agreed that a referral to the "DickVet" hospital outside Edinburgh is the best way forward,so we have an appointment at 11:30 on Tuesday next week
I'm not looking forward to it one little bit,but this cant go on any longer.I think Scott his vet is looking forward to another opinion on this as he is getting frustrated that all tests/treatments are just not sorting this out at all.

 

Oh Buffie sorry to hear this. Let's hope Mr m behaves like a gentleman then as I'm sure it will be a stressful day for you both. Hope you will get some answers and a way forward for poor Meeko
