Hi all I've been up most of night with Flavia. I noticed she wasn't moving much last night, and didn't appear to want to eat. When I tried coaxing her with a treat, she went into the box and ate some litter instead. Not good. Then she defecated outside the box 2 or 3 times. I stayed with her

How frustrating for you! So, poor Flavia made a trip to the vet for nothing? Wasn't that amazing that she went in the carrier by herself? At least the experience, although I'm sure scary, wasn't too traumatic for her. You must be exhausted. Flavia and you are in my prayers that she feels

Hi, Belinda, I just talked to my vet - He did not think he has Fatty Liver disease, since they usually don't eat - and thank god, George eats - he might have hepatitis - but the only way to make sure of it, he said, is to go through biopsy, which I refused to do on him right now. I guess

Mari, I feed Coebeio the hairball formula. She has horrible allergies, but it seems to be easy on her stomach and she likes it. Plus when Quintapus was alive, I bought it because it was low in phosphorous and he had CRF. Coey also eats the chicken, mixed in from time to time to keep her interest.
