Thanks for that info, Jo. I was a big fan of Rebound (a liquid meal replacement for sick cats; had some electroloyetes in it, too) until they changed the formula! Since I discovered it, I always had sick kitties lap it; NOW, the new improved formula is a) lower in calories (?huh? why would you decrease calories to an animal who's not eating?) and b) far less palatable if my tribe is any indication.
Michelle, how about the oil or water from a can of tuna or mackeral?
Sending best wishes and hoping Bramble will eat soon.

I haven't seen this mentioned, but its worth a shot... Have you tried CliniCare? Its like Ensure for kitties... in fact they are made by the same company. Its complete nutrition and its even used for kitties fed via a tube. Here's a link so you know what to look for.I'm on 9 different groups and its used across the boards. Since its liquid, it can be force fed via a syringe.Hope this helps,Jo__________________________In a message dated 8/2/2005 4:47:33 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Any ideas please
Bramble has Calici again after catching it from Buddy as I mentioned last week - his nose is ulcerated and I'm sure his throat is too as he is really hungry and wants his food but can't seem to eat much of it. I've tried mashing it for him but I think his throat is too sore. This has been for 2 days now. His vet had said wait for 5 days on antibiotics last week but the day after I got him on Interferon Omega when he sneezed blood. He has just finished his first 5 injections. He has been more affect the last 2 days so I'm pleased I got him on Interferon again fast.
Any ideas for feeding (I've left him some baby food out this morning without much success and tried fish for the smell)
I really think it is his throat that is sore - he goes back to the vet tonight.
Michelle, Bramble, Buddy & Minstrel

If you're thinking about de-clawing your cat, you need to re-think your decision to acquire a pet.
