Thanks for that info, Jo. I was a big fan of Rebound (a liquid meal replacement for sick cats; had some electroloyetes in it, too) until they changed the formula! Since I discovered it, I always had sick kitties lap it; NOW, the new improved formula is a) lower in calories (?huh? why would you de
I haven't seen this mentioned, but its worth a shot... Have you tried CliniCare? Its like Ensure for kitties... in fact they are made by the same company. Its complete nutrition and its even used for kitties fed via a tube. Here's a link so you know what to look for.

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.

Actually A/D is very similar to the meat part of Liver

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...

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.

It has to be given IV to stimulate appetite.

Valium has a weird side effect
The reason why you don't give it to human babies
is because honey has been known to contain Botulism spores. Human
babies are notorously unhealthy little fragile things. Most cats shouldn't
be effected in any way, even if they do get a dab of contaminated honey. In
fact, I can quote the ONLY
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.

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 har
Nutrical is very good for stimulating the appetite, but my vet says it
has less nutrition than A/D or baby food.

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

Poor Bramble! He has such bad luck! No
new ideas 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 som
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 sto

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

him but I think his throat is too sore. Th
