He's a miracle boy all right! Wonderful news. Sending you two power
energy to continue to work those miracles. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ain't it amazing what love and care can do?? Did you mention to Fred
that he had to gain weight or you'd be forced to put the tube in again?
I'm so
Nina,
Yes I did and I think the appetite stimulant is helping alot. He is
suppose to get it today but I think I'll skip it and see how he does.
It won't hurt to not give it, it isn't the kind that needs to build up,
it worked within twenty minutes, maybe less the very first time he got
You and me both!
Wow Belinda, I am SO happy Fred is doing so well! He's had a
remarkable recovery after that terrible infection he developed. I'm so
glad to hear he's doing so well now!

Try awful things like KFC in little bites, salty foods like ham, cool things
like whipped creama big variety of foods to try to interest him. I
used Nutrical with The Royal Princess Kitty Katt and it helped. Just Born
worked a few times too.
We always used Nutri-Cal, a hi-calorie gel FelaVite, also a gel...
Also, baby food [meat] can also help.
There also is a med. that can induce the eating, but, forgive me, memory's
semi-gone when it comes to certain [impt.] things

There are appetite stimulants you could ask your vet about (I can't remember
what they are either).
What were you feeding him? If it was commercial dry, try something like
Innova Evo dry (very flavorful, lots of meat used - even at his very sickest,
my Slinky was still eating his Evo)

Yes, it is crucial that you get kitty to eat, even if it means
syringe-feeding. Many people feel that when they stop eating on their own it
Hello again Mary,
I answered your first post to the group and didn't get a response from
you, perhaps you didn't see it. I've pasted it below in the hope that
it may still help you. In order for you to help Cakooie, you need to
figure out what is causing his wbc to be high. It's usually a

Mary,
There have been concerns raised with the use of valium for kitties.
I've used the appetite stimulant Cyproheptadine made into a transdermal
gel to be applied to the inside tip of a cat's ear. It's much less
stressful to administer a drug in this way than forcing them to ingest
it. I
I totally agree with Nina on this seek your Vet's opinion and options on
this.
I have very good luck using Cyproheptadine as well on kitties that weren't
not eating.

Also worth considering... if you took him to an animal shelter to get his shots

the fact that he could have caught some contagious virus while at the shelter.
It
would be worth calling the shelter to inquire as to if they have any currently
