Purrs for Lindy?
I took Lindy to the doctor today, because she hasn't been eating for the
past couple of days (except some after I made the appointment), and she has thrown up a small amount about once a day for the past week. We saw my regular vet's new partner, who looks about 15 years old. The good news is that Lindy's heart and lungs are good. She needs some dental work, if they decide she can handle the anesthetic. They took blood and urine and gave her an infusion (She was a little dehydrated) and an appetite stimulant. I have a new kind of food to try, as well as more of the appetite stimulant (Mirzapine). She's supposed to get 1/4 tablet every 3 days. They said if I can't get it down her, bring her in and they'll do it. She didn't say whether or not they'd charge for that. They'll call tomorrow with the test results and we'll see where we go from here. She yelled for her dinner when we got home, and I gave it to her, even though it was a little early. She is actually eating, but we'll see how much she gets down - and if she keeps it down. -- Joy No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. - Leo Dworken |

Purrs for Lindy to get her appetite back and *keep* it once you're done with the pills! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Many purrs for Lindy - that Mirtazapine is great stuff - I got Tucker to eat
using that (plus handfeeding him which he really really liked). I had trouble getting the pill in him so I followed a vet tech's suggestion of crushing the 1/4 pill and then mixing the powder pill in with a liquid med he had to take and squirting it in with a syringe. Maybe you can crush the pill and mix it in with some tuna juice or another thought might be to try mixing it in with some Gerber's or Beechnut chicken baby food on a spoon (which I also did). Hope this helps. Christine "Joy" wrote in message ...

Another idea which also helped with getting Tucker to eat - I go to a
specialty pet shop to buy my cat food and asked the owner (who is very knowledgeable about pet foods and pet nutrition - both dogs and cats) for suggestions that might get Tucker to eat - he steered me on to a pet food brand called Weruva and they make a "Paw Lickin' chicken" canned food that looks good enough for me to eat - Tucker would eat that when he wasn't interested in his regular food at the time he was recovering from his surgery. Here's hoping you can find some locally to try - here's a weblink I found that tells you more about it - you could try ordering it? http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/produc...od/278000.aspx Christine "Joy" wrote in message ...

It's always funny to me how demanding a cat can be, when it spends the rest of its time either sleeping or turning up its delicate nose at whatever we offer. Hope she does well. Jo |
