Sorry about the bad diagnosis, Jessica. There are lots of good people on this list who will help you out in greater detail, but here's a couple things to help him out now. First, look at the old posts on this list starting on Tuesday. We've had a couple of new people come on as frantic as you are, and there's been a lot of good advice here the past couple days. And second, just make sure he eats something, even if you have to force him. They can get fatty liver disease if they don't eat enough -- that is usually fixable but it's best not to have to worry about it in the first place. Most cats really love Kentucky Fried Chicken, skin and bones removed, white meat if possible, and make sure it's warm and "smelly." It's something about those herbs and spices they use. If he continues not to eat very much, you might want to call your vet and ask him to prescribe some A/D food -- most cats seem to really like it, it's packed with nutrients, can be fed with a syringe if necessary, and is by prescription only. Hope this helps with your boy, and I'm sure more people will chime in shortly! Diane R.

I have a cat that is jst over one year old. About a week to a week and a half ago I noticed him hurtin and not eating. I had to wait until today to take him to the vet due to money issues. I just found out that he has feline luekemia. And i am so hurt. I am not quite sure what to do or need to do. He is not eating or drinking. My vet told me to feed him baby food which is what I am doing. He eats very little. the vet also has given him a prescription for clavamox for fever. Nebber got way too spastic to do any more blood work or test today so I must take him back in a couple of weeks when he is feeling better. But in the mean time, I need some sort of advice of how to help him and me to deal with this. I can not think about losing him. If some one could give me a little advice on what to do I would be grateful. Thanks, Jessica ________________________________ Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.
