Hi guys,
I am having a hard time getting Cricket to eat right
now. He is drinking water some and some tuna juice,
but it isn't much. I have been force feeding him baby
meat foods the past couple of days. He isn't very
happy about it, but otherwise, he is going to be too
weak if he doesn't eat.
Wendy,
I'm very sorry to tell you this, but from what you describe, if you
leave Cricket alone for 48 hours, there is a good chance that he won't
be around when you get back, or he will deteriorate considerably, (in 48
hours, he may do that even with you home to assist-feed him). His

Yes, it comes in cream or pill form.
I have found it works wonders for the kitties that aren't eating.
It's a cream that you put on the inside of their ear to stimulate

Yes, it could. I've had Cypro prescribed at the same time as Pred, so
I'm assuming the vet thought it might help too. The main thing is to get
them eating and to make sure they don't go completely without food. If
they go without food for more than a 24 to 48 hour period, there is a
danger
Well, around here it isn't expensive.
Preds normally don't stimulate the appetite.

I have found by giving both that it helps. Your Vet should be to give that to you. They do carry it in most animal hospital and clinics. Since you have taken the kitty in to see them you can go pick it up. Tell them it's urgent Cricket needs to eat. They do develop a fatty liver.
If you have
Dear Nina,
Thank you for all the suggestions. I wrote them all
down and will do my best before we leave to try some
of them. I am very torn about leaving to go out of
town and leaving Cricket. I keep hoping my husband
will tell me he doesn't mind if I stay with Cricket,
but I know he won't.
I don't remember how much it costs, I don't think it was expensive. You
only need a tiny little bit to see if it helps his appetite. You need
to call your vet to ask if they think it's a good idea, why don't you
ask them when you do? Don't be the least bit uncomfortable about
calling your

Actually, I have seen Pred have a side effect of stimulating appetite.
It might just be that they feel better and because of that want to eat
more, but I've heard of it from others too.

Also, Cricket does like the 8in1 VitaKitty (something
like that) vitamin supplement. He is eating a little
bit of that at a time off my finger, but because it
has vitamin E, it's probably like eating peanut butter
to him. I wish I knew what flavor it was so I could

Oh man, you are preaching to the choir when you talk about the
overwhelming task of taking care of sick animals and at the same time
trying not to neglect all your other responsibilities! I get you girl,
I'm right there with you. You mentioned that your mom will be taking
care of the puppy,
There are products to give to kitties that aren't eating, Nutrical is
one of them. They have vitamins and corn syrup, (for energy). Some
kitties like the taste and will eat it off your finger, or a plate. Ask
at your local Petsmart for things that might help. I don't know what
flavor they

Hey Nina,
Yes, my mom LOVES cats. She's feeding a group of
ferals as we speak. I think I will call her and ask
if she can come by on Saturday anyway to sit with
Cricket. I bet she will if I'm very nice. I just
hate to ask for help. I don't want to take Cricket
over there because he is happy

Yes, they do most of the big Pet stores carry it. If not go to the Vet's office or hospital when you pick up the other meds (appetite stimulate) and get it. Now they do carry it.

That will be a great idea if she can.
Do you give Cricket fluid at all by the way..?

A lot of vets may carry it, too if you see one close. I am going to get

I might try nutrical, ad food, or even kitten formula to get more nutrition crammed into the smaller feedings.
