Hi Giselle,
I'm sorry that you are having to go through this.
First thing, and I know this is hard... DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF. I fully
understand that is the first thing we tend to do, but knowing the way you love
her, it is not warranted. You want the best for her, she knows it and so do
we
Giselle, you have received some good advise. Pixie is probably dehydrated
which could also make her weak. Sub Q fluids could help. Also sounds like she
is anemic. Your vet can give her a B12 shot which might help. You can add
some Super B Complex, B12 and folic acid to the food slurry you
I lost my wonderful Dixie Louise Doodle Katt after 3 years. She came
out of a pine thicket (country equivalent of street). She was full
grown and, until a few days before she left, I thought she had beaten
it. There were short/little problems but nothing that couldn't happen

She may need a transfusion if she is anemic, if it is bad enough
and then she may need to be on epogen (procrit, or ansarep) both also
choices for anemia. Bailey was anemic and we turned it around with
epogen and prednisolone. She may also want to put her on doxocycline in

Amy, I am so sorry you lost Zman. We lost a 9 month old FelV kitten
a few mohths ago, and it is so awful to lose an especially sweet
cat when they are so young. Thank you for holding paws when he
left you. Our mitty died in our arms being loved til the end, but
it doesn't make it any easier to lo
Giselle,
Leaving aside any other diagnosis, and given that you believe she hasn't drunk
water for days, Pixie sounds at the very least dehydrated. I am NOT a vet but
my advice is, arrange as fast as possible ---now--today---for her to be checked
for dehydration and given fluids as necessary. Su
Can you find an ER vet? I am glad you are syringe feeding her. Are you able
to get into her the normal amount of food she would eat in a day? You might
want to join feline assisted feeding yahoo group. Cats can go into liver
failure after only 48 hours without their normal food intake. When my cats
Hello Giselle,
I took Puma (4 or 5-year old male FeLV+) to a vet for blood test one day.
Then, a several days later, he stopped eating. He didn't eat for a couple days.
His ears and gums looked pale. He was breathing laboriously. My vet gave him
fluid and B12 shot. Next day, he started
Hi everyone,
Pixie is my best buddy and constant companion as I work from home. She's a
4-year old female FeLV+. Last Thursday I went away for 5 days, leaving her home
alone with a neighbor coming over for at least an hour each day to keep her
company, feed wet food, brush, clean litterbox, et
Amy, I am so sorrythis disease sucks.

I am so sorry. It's been a week since Charlotte passed and she's the first
thing I think about when I get up in the morning and the last thing I think
about when I go to bed at night.
