Any ideas please
Bramble has Calici again after catching it from Buddy as I mentioned last week
- his nose is ulcerated and I'm sure his throat is too as he is really hungry
and wants his food but can't seem to eat much of it. I've tried mashing it for
him but I think his throat is too sore.
Have you tried chilling the food or heating it--chilling is what comes to
mind for people.

Any ideas please
Bramble has Calici
Chilling food sounds like it might help make it easier on poor Bramble's
throat. Blending, or liquefying might help. He may need you to
assist-feed him to help him get started. There's a recipe for liver
shake, but I would substitute the tomato/V8 juice, (maybe plain chicken
broth?), it
1. Get your vet to give him Immuno-regulin, which you can order cheaply online if he does not have it. I really think it helps them get over infections and viruses faster.
2. To soothe his mouth and throat, syringe him slippery elm syrup. You can get powdered slippery elm at a health food
Poor Bramble! He has such bad luck! No
newideas here, just wanted to offer some support and good wishes to you
and Bramble. Personally, I would force-feed if it is more than 2 days without
food. Try and see if he will lick a bit of honey off your finger, that makes my
throat feel better
I would definitely try a little syringe feeding. A/D food for ill
animals easily mixes with water. It may perk up his appetite. Cats who
go too long without eating will get Hepatic Lipidosis.

Nutrical is probably the best choice, since it's made for cats. I
hadn't heard about giving cats honey, I know there's a reason you're not
suppose to give it to human babies, can't remember why though. I think
it would be safer to give white Karo corn syrup. That's one of the

Has anyone mentioned valium yet? I haven't caught up with my emails so forgive me if it has already been mentioned.
Valium has a weird side effect with cats. It makes them eat like crazy. The downside is that the cat must be restrained in a carrier because they will hallucinate and perhaps harm
I think Bramble is already hungry, he doesn't want to eat because of his
ulcerated nose and Michelle (Lomax) suspects his throat hurts. We were
trying to come up with things that would be soothing.

The reason why you don't give it to human babies
isbecause honey has been known to contain Botulismspores. Human
babies are notorously unhealthy little fragile things. Most cats shouldn't
beeffected in any way, even if they do get a dab of contaminated honey. In

Macarena,
I am so sorry about your nephew's loss and of course yours. The loss of Kurt reminds me of my Grayson who died this winter. He was my first cat and led me to the path I am following now. He was so smart and loving. He adopted me when he was outside and wound his way into my heart and
I have tried clam juice on top of his favorite food as well..or little cottage cheese..
I have to agree with the a/d. I have had good results when someone is off food with the a/d.
Also, I have used with good results evap. milk. egg yolk and white karo syrup..
Hope he feels better soon.

I forgot to mention that my Bandy is on oxazepam transdermal for appetite stimulant..It seems to be working good with no side effects.. He receives this twice daily..You might ask your vet about that...It really seems to work...

Actually A/D is very similar to the meat part of Liver
Shake that a lot of us have usedI have found that adding a little
tomato juice to A/D seems to taste extra good to a cat that is not
eating well...

But if his throat is raw and that is the problem, the tomato juice, while tasting good, would probably sting.
I still recommend trying slippery elm for the soreness.

Thanks for your ideas - I will store and try.
Well I panicked but the vet was fairly calm. When I put Bramble in his
carry case to go vet he sulked and slammed his tail down covering his bottom - I

Hi,
5 days ago I found a kitten, took it to the vet and had it tested and it's
positive w/leukemia and I'm starting treatment right away and am going to keep

know what to do with them. Any advice as to what my next

Where in NJ are you? Maybe we can help. I can see if we can trade cats and
maybe give this cat a little longer time. I can talk to the shelter staff,
see what they say. You can also try The Best Little Cathouse in PA. They
take FIV cats also.
Gina,
what do you mean you don't know where to take them? If you are going to keep
them, I would get them tested as well, although it may be a false positive
because they might have the mother's antibodies in their system. What kind
of test? Was it the snap test or the IFA test. The quick
You mean they are suffering from dehydration? Do
they have access to water, and are they eatingon their own? Where is their
mother? If they are looking thinner and thinner it's most likely from
dehydration... they need to have constant access to fresh water and
