I haven't posted much since Grrr was diagnosed back in the spring, but I have
been reading and learning.
Sadly, my big nasty boy stopped eating a couple of weeks ago. He spent a week
at the vets receiving fluids which perked him up a bit, but he would
deteriorate quickly when the IV was
Thanks for all the ideas and advice. I had thought of kitten food but thought
it best to steer clear for the reasons mentioned- concern about kidney
function- as we are already worried about that. The dang cat eats just FINE-
he eats like a horse, and is easily eating twice what the other
It's been a bit more than a month since Grrr was diagnosed, and I'm happy to
report that he is acting like his old self- his energy level is impressive,
he's not displaying any neuro issues, and is getting around MUCH better. We've
been giving him DMG liquid on his food- don't know if it's

My last post today, I promise! Thanks for that info, Laurie. I'm researching
that now- would it seem likely that one cat would contract myonecrosis not
others who were eating the same food? That's a new one on me as well, never
heard of it. All three get canned wellness 2-3x a week, dry
Just wanted to say a quick hello to all the list members- i've just joined upon
learning this afternoon that my much adored 10 year old cat is positive. We're
unsure as to how he contracted feluk as he was tested before we adopted him,
and the two cats we have adopted since then were both
