I hope that he'll recover a bit and be able to eat more. It's always worrying when they don't eat much. Thank you. Yes, it is.

Joy I had that happen when I was taking an unaltered male cat to the vet for neutering. I found that repeated drenching of the upholstery with Nature's Miracle did (finally) work, but it took a while. I've since discovered something called "Stream Clean" which worked beautifully on a blood-stained carpet. It advertises itself as a "stain and odor eliminator", but I've not had a need for the odor-removing feature since I found it. (It is rather expensive, but it certainly did a great job on my carpet.) Thank you. Joy -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

Joy Purrs for Waffles, and for you. I have heard of a product called F.O.N (Feline Odor Remover) that is supposed to be one of the best to get rid of the smell. With any of them, you have to saturate the area with the solution to make sure you get it all. What type of cancer does he have? Thank you. I used to use F.O.N. in the past, and loved it. I haven't been able to find it for quite some time. Then somebody told me about Nature's Miracle, and I've used it ever since. It worked fine until now. He has lymphoma, with several nodes in his intestines and one in one of his kidneys. The vet says there's something like a 68% chance that the chemo (two pills a week) will put him into remission for as much as 20 months. In the meantime I'm just trying to keep him comfortable and happy. He has enough energy that I have to chase him all over the house to give him his meds (He also gets Prednisone twice a day), but he comes up in my lap soon afterward, so I guess I'm forgiven.

Joy Thank you, both for the sympathy and the tips. He seems to be reasonably comfortable, and his white count after three doses of chemo was good. I just wish he'd eat more.

When my Cy had lymphoma, he didn't want to eat the cat food, but I did get him to eat ham and chicken baby food. |

He ate some of the turkey before he decided he wouldn't eat it any more, and a very tiny bit of the chicken once or twice. I give small amounts at a time, several times a day, but most of it doesn't get eaten. Joy -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

Joy -- The most effective thing I have found to motivate my furbabies to eat when they were sick is to simmer some chicken (with bones and skin) for a very long time, until there is very little liquid left. Then refrigerate the liquid. It should form a gel in the refrigerator. Skim the fat off--what you want is the gel. Warm a couple of tablespoons of the gel in the microwave to melt it, land see if Waffles will eat some of that. If necessary, you may need to use the "bottle" from a syringe (*no needle*) and force feed. Do this several times a day. I found that this procedure will often stimulate appetite. You could also try spooning some of the warm gel over other food and see if that helps. Good luck with this. I know how painful it is to see one of our beloved cats when they are sick or in pain.
