Re: [Felvtalk] Thoughts Prayers Needed for Darcy
Jody, I hope by now you have take Darcy to a vet. She should not be in this much pain this long after the surgery. Like others I suspect an infection. Regarding aspirin, like others I'd be very cautious. When Pequita was Rx aspirin for a pulled muscle the dose was 1/2 of a baby aspirin every 72 hrs. Aspirin poisoning is a very real concern. Here is more info http://www.valleypetnews.com/venerable_vet_i.htm Aspirin. Yes, you can give aspirin to a cat but ONLY once every 72 hours. The cat is missing a liver enzyme that helps break down aspirin. This causes aspirin, and many other drugs, to be slowly broken down and thus the effects of aspirin lasts for 72 hours in the feline patient. So, if you gave aspirin three to four times a day to a cat you would certainly have a dead cat by the second or third day. Cat aspirin dose is 10mg/kg once every 72 hours. Aspirin should be given with food. NEVER give aspirin if the cat is also on a glucocorticoid (prednisone) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS). This is almost always the rule with other species as well. A baby aspirin is 81mg, and a regular aspirin is 324 mg. If the vet that performed the surgery doesn't seem helpful I'd go to an ER.

Sending prayers for sweet Darcy. The exact same thing happened with my FeLV Flavia and she recovered: She did so badly after her spay (the boys all did fine; it's the females that have it harder), that when i took her to the vet as an emergency I was totally distraught thinking she would have to be euthanized (a housecall vet who came the night before and gave her fluids had basically washed his hands of her in the morning when I called to tell him she was still not eating). My *new* vet showed me how to assist feed her--which made all the difference. So important to get those calories inside. I'm sure she gave her antibiotics too, maybe even more painkiller but i can't recall. She recovered beautifully. Please let us know how Darcy does.

Re: [Felvtalk] assist-feeding: was re: Darcy
In my case, Flavia was so weak that she offered no resistance. I would just settle her on my lap with the (wet )cat food next to me, put a little dollop of food on my finger, open her mouth (clench each side of her jaw---a cat's mouth opens automatically when you do that) and then SMEAR the food on the ROOF of her mouth. It's a pretty certain way of getting the food to stay in the mouth--she'll then take it from there. Repeat until she has enough cals inside here. It can take a while! It's also good to do this when a cat has no smell, perhaps because of a--URI--- upper respiratory infection. No smell = no want food. When the food is put in the mouth it gives a chance for the taste sense to take over the job and get the appetite going.

Re: [Felvtalk] Aspirin
Thanks for the info about aspirin. I can see that due to the lack of an enzyme in the cat's liver giving aspirin anymore often could result in death. Thankfully, I've only given baby aspirin to a cat once. Lorrie On 05-30, Sharyl wrote: Jody, I hope by now you have take Darcy to a vet. She should not be in this much pain this long after the surgery. Like others I suspect an infection. Regarding aspirin, like others I'd be very cautious. When Pequita was Rx aspirin for a pulled muscle the dose was 1/2 of a baby aspirin every 72 hrs. Aspirin poisoning is a very real concern. Here is more info http://www.valleypetnews.com/venerable_vet_i.htm Aspirin. Yes, you can give aspirin to a cat but ONLY once every 72 hours. The cat is missing a liver enzyme that helps break down aspirin. This causes aspirin, and many other drugs, to be slowly broken down and thus the effects of aspirin lasts for 72 hours in the feline patient. So, if you gave aspirin three to four times a day to a cat you would certainly have a dead cat by the second or third day. Cat aspirin dose is 10mg/kg once every 72 hours. Aspirin should be given with food. NEVER give aspirin if the cat is also on a glucocorticoid (prednisone) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS). This is almost always the rule with other species as well. A baby aspirin is 81mg, and a regular aspirin is 324 mg. If the vet that performed the surgery doesn't seem helpful I'd go to an ER.

Re: [Felvtalk] assist-feeding: was re: Darcy
LOL, keeping in mind who DOES have the claws, the best thing to do is probably wrap a large expendable towel around the cat, including the paws (they don't like this!) with only the head showing. In a pinch, use Gerber 2nd Foods baby meats (or puree your own baked meats and cooking juices!), although the force-food of choice is A/D food from the vet. A/D is high in protein, lower in fat, which is what you need for a cat that hasn't been eating for a while. The danger is always hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease) in which the liver becomes overwhelmed trying to process stored body fat due to the cat not eating. So your best goal is to get food in that won't tax the liver even more with high fat content, but the more immediate goal is to get calories into the cat. You can water down the A/D or the baby food until it can be syringed, or you can spoon or finger feed as Kerry describes. Idea being to get the food beyond the point where the cat has the option to turn away from it., Heating stuff enhances its odor -- which in the case of the A/D may put YOU off your food for a bit. Two people is the best way to do an assisted feed, but one person is doable if you've got fingers that are good at multitasking. You and the cat will both end up wearing about as much of the food as has gone into him -- absolutely no different from feeding a baby except that the airplane/hangar ploy never works on a cat, and I would strongly discourage trying to burp him.

[Felvtalk] OT: FIV laws, speaking of being difficult
we've just learned that at least three shelters in the state of KS believe that adopting out FIVs (and most probably FeLVs) is illegal. a number of folks, including some on this list, have read the state statutes, and cannot find this to be the case, nor can we find FIV or FeLV on the state's list of reportable animal diseases. we're working on finding out WHY shelters are being told this, and what we can do to change this situation. especially since, with the FIV vaccine, any cat receiving it will test positive forever on the two commercially available tests. in the course of starting to look into this, we've heard that many states claim that adopting out FIVs and FeLVs is illegal, and that that is an excuse used by both shelters and vets for the normal line of treatment, which as we know, is euthanasia. since vets are seldom adopting out cats, that makes no sense, and none of the shelters i've ever worked at that regularly kill positives do so for any reasons other than, they're too hard to adopt out, or from fear of liability, or plain ignorance. but this may mean that this misperception is far more widespread than we knew, and that some action is required--if anyone is interested in working with us to help seeing what the laws actually say, and changing those that may actually penalize cats for having a virus that may or may not ever make them sick, please join FIVCats2 at www.yahoogroups.com. thanks! i'll leave now MC -- Spay Neuter Your Neighbors!

Re: [Felvtalk] assist-feeding: was re: Darcy
Ah Diane it's not that bad. You will end up wearing some of the food. I have feeding t-shirts for that purpose. LOL Now finger feeding is pretty messy. Short term a meat baby food (no onions or garlic) is a good food to use. It is easily syringed, doesn't need to be diluted and many cats like it. Mine love Gerber 2 Chicken and Gravy which has 100 calories per jar. A/D is actually pretty high in fat but again should be easily syringed without diluting it with a liquid. Any pate style canned food is syringe-able if you blend the dickens out of it and add a little liquid. Some will have hard lumps so you may need to put the food through a metal sieve. What is critical is you get some kind of food into her. A sick kitty generally needs more calories than a healthy kitty. She will need food to have the energy to fight whatever the problem is.
