Thanks MC, I'll check that site. I tried the clothespins to no avail. He's
so fat *which is a good thing in this situation I guess* they just popped off.

I didn't find how to give fluids on this list, but I'll keep looking for new
ideas. One site said hang the bag from the ceiling with a hook. that worked
well, but I couldn't tell how much I was giving. lol. I just gave them as long
as he would let me and it looked like he had a nice 'bump'.
yes, hyper thyroid is very common with cats. what kind of vet do you go to

Yes,
MC is known for being one of our most objective (cough) members. But I have
to agree with her. Are you sure your vet actually said this

I really don't know if he's eating the canned food or the dry because he won't
come in the room when I feed them anymore because that's where I started
pilling him. When he stopped coming in the room to be fed I started pilling
him when he came to bed. Now he doesn't come to bed with me
I think I'll give that a try today so I don't have to chase him down to go to
the vet in the morning.

I think Bob is too fat to use the clothespins. In fact I think that is why the
vet recommended the cosequin. He asked me if he had problems getting around
due to his weight and age The clothespins just kind of twisted inside out
as he wiggled around. Bob topped 20 pounds at his highest
Their 'safe' place has been a room in the basement where I keep the litter pans
and the food. I've had to move the food upstairs to be sure everyone's eating.
I've left the litter pans and some toys and cat trees down there and tried not
to chase anyone down there for vet visits or pilling.

I hope shaft doesn't have crf too. I don't know if they even ran a cbc on him
or just the thyroid panel. i'll find out tomorrow. ughhh.

I just checked the last site given and it says it's best to medicate twice a
day rather than once maybe that's why he's not doing so well. Maybe I'll
go with the compounding gel for the ear. Or maybe we're just not giving
enough. His muscle mass is just gone. He has suffered from skin
How many clothespins did you use? I tried 2. Also you did say you were feeding

Didn't mean to upset you but wanted to give you a heads up. I haven't dealt
with hyper-t but have read that many apply the meds via a cream on the ear.
Some say the dose isn't as exact but if Shaft is so anti-pilling it might be a
better alternative for you.

Not Belinda but FF Minced Beef and Sliced Beef are both low in phos. Mine
preferred the Minced Beef. Also rotating flavors is a good idea. I have a
selection of 6 flavors I use so they only get a repeat every 3 days.

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself and my FIV+ Boy MM. This whole FIV

Welcome, you will find this group very helpful.
If he is FIV not FeLV then you are better off. FIV cats live long lives with
some health issues. FIV is mostly spread through bites. So as long as he is
neutered and does not fight you should be able to mix him assuming he has
FIV and not FeLV. Good
You can also give fluids subcutaneously . Basically you would use a
syringe and go just under the skin and inject sterile water. You can get
the water at any grocery store. I have used this method before. You can
do it about every hour to two hours. I did this with not only one of my
kittens
Is he felv (leukemia) positive or fiv positive? Welcome to the group!
