I come to you for suggestions for our Cole. We got Cole as a litter rescue from
our yard
We feed the strays and a little very young mother left them at our door
We already had some house cats so built a kennel to shelter them Outside and
began To look for homes for them. Then two litter kittens showed up and old
tom. A no kill shelter took the littler kittens. They found out one if them
tested positive for feline leukemia. We tested rest of ours and all but the one
female tested positive. So we cleaned out our garage, insulated, heated, air
conditioned and sheltered them there. No matter what we did little Tig was so
sick That he died before he was a yr old. He was such a sweet little cat that
considered everything and anyone a toy--so sad. The rest tested negative the
next two test. We all lived happily for next 3 1/2 years. Until this week Cole
stopped eating.
Took him to vet and here is bad part.

Rest was in normal range
The vet gave Cole subcutaneous fluids, polyflex/dexasone injection, b complex
injection, and clavamox drops on last wednesday.
But he cant eat and i am syringe feeding AD prscription Food. First few days
was able to get him to take 2 syringes but then threw up and have not been able
to get him past One syringe since then without him throwing up. He threw up
food three times and phlem or hair. He is very alert, drinking, urinating 2-4
times a day, no BM until one little turd today
He bathes Self after he eats, shinny healthy looking hair. Took Cole back today
and vet did same as before but We changed to Orbax instead of clavamox. I was
very excited tonight cause he attempted to eat But only licked gravy of purina
Fancy feast., but was start. Later this evening after syringe feed only 3 ml
he threw up what looked like two meals!! He seems to have a good day, but then
has setback with throwup--- three times he has done that . He has lost a pound
in 6 days!!. So worried cause he cant eat on own and keeps throwing up.
His brother Ash tested positive again too but his bloodwork is all in normal
range and seems ti be doing fine. His other brother BJ tested negative and
bloodwork all normal range. Vet suggested no treatment for them. I housed
them together and seperated Cole.
I am so worried that we are going to loose Cole because he cant eat and keeps
throwing up syringed food. Also worried about Ash's positive test for
feline leukemia again.
Sorry for lenght but thought you wpuld need all info.
Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you from Cole, his family and I
