Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy-still not eating or drinking
so, so sorry to hear that, have been catching up on emails and was so happy to read about his improvement a few weeks ago. I realize baby food is usually enough incentive for cats to eat, but a kidney failure cat, with gastritis, I had some time ago still wouldn't eat it when she was having an episode and I'd add a pinch of salt to it to enhance it and she'd eat it (also warmed with some hot water)... don't know if it can help, poor guy sounds like he's gone through everything.

In July, he was like this for 2 days, then began feeling better fairly quickly except for the sneezing and drippy nose. Got my fingers crossed and saying little purrayers all day long.

Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy-still not eating or drinking
Since fluids are so important to keep a cat from dehydrating and keeping organs functioning, an option might be about 100-150 mL of subcutaneous fluids given daily or every second day - it's easy to learn how to do yourself and saves a lot of lives in the long run! Could your vet give Murphy an injection of Vitamin C, B12 etc - could be a great booster.

Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy-still not eating or drinking
Natalie is right. It is very important to keep him eating, too. Cats can go into liver failure if they don't eat their normal amount of food. This can happen fairly quickly. Check out the feline assisted feeding yahoo group for ideas and info. Prayers for you and Murphy. L Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!~Fyodor Dostoyevsky -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Natalie Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 8:24 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Murphy-still not eating or drinking Since fluids are so important to keep a cat from dehydrating and keeping organs functioning, an option might be about 100-150 mL of subcutaneous fluids given daily or every second day - it's easy to learn how to do yourself and saves a lot of lives in the long run!

Alice, I have missed your previous emails. If it is anemia, can you afford a blood transfusion? Also Prednisolone works very well!
