Tweezer was to the vet yesterday. His RBC is 17 and he has a secondary
infection. He is also having spasms which is the worst because he is
frightened and it makes it harder for him to eat and drink. He is on
Prednesolone and Clavamox for now. What can I do to help him?
I hope this message
Good supplements with Vitamin C, Biotin (Nickers), and CoQ10 in powder in
capsules (GNC Vegetarian formula) - regular oil in capsules hard to squeeze
out all oil from capsules.I give all FIV/FeLV and heart patients 50mg
daily.

I'm so sorry that Tweezer isn't doing well. I don't really know what to do
to encourage him to eat - maybe try his favorite food, I sometimes use
tuna or mackerel (supplemented with Nutri-Cal so the cat gets all their
viatamins). For cats, the smellier the food, the better.
I hope that helps!
I feed my cats Blue Buffalo (it's the only food I've tried that doesn't make
my cats vomit) and I put a little Nutri-Cal on their paw one per week.
My cats are healthy right now, aside from testing positive, so I haven't
gotten into all the other supplements that everyone else uses.
On Thu,
Try ANYTHING - it's better than nothing. Sometimes, when they have an
infection, they can't smell the food (and that's very important to cats),
try taking some of the food, maybe diluted, and use a syringe or an
eyedropper to put some of it into their mouth on the side, just to get the
taste,
The problem is more with the spasms he is having then not eating. He is
interested in food but is having a hard time eating it because of the shaking
and jerking. They don't know what is causing it. They were thinking maybe value
would help but are afraid it might not be good because of his
Years ago, one of my FIV cats had seizures; we rushed her to an emergency
clinic, and they told me you have a very sick kitty here, which made me
livid, as if I were a total ignoramus.I later did some research and
found out that cats with FeLV and FIV can build up toxins which can cause
I think emergency clinics have more then their share of idiots
Maybe assist feeding would work for him. I will have to get a syringe. Did you
do anything else besides feeding her to help her get rid of toxins?

I was giving her sub-q fluids for a while, which I assume helped her because
she never had any seizures again. FIV is so much more manageable than FeLV!
BTW - I sent the info to the dumb vet at the clinic so she would know for
the next time someone brings in a cat that was FIV+, not to immediately
I have an appointment with my favorite vet tomorrow to see what can be done
for Tweezer. If he can still be made comfortable by anything I can do, then
I will do everything I can for him. If there is nothing that can be done
then it will be time to let him go with dignity. I can trust Dr. Tom
That bright ray of sunshine will be shining on you and loving you.
Tweezer knows all that you have done for him and trusts you to make
the right decisions. He will always be in your life and heart...just
in a different form. This does not take away the pain, the awful pain
but it may
Sue,

Tweezer was the name the rescue group that had him gave him. I liked the
name and it fit him so we kept it. I don't know if links from the cat forum
I am part of will work here, but I will try. This tells the story of how I
came to have him and of his first few weeks at home:
Don't let him go unless you know he is suffering - he may get better with
some fluids; does you vet give Vitamin injections? Mine makes a combo of C,
B12 etc. and it has save many sick cats and put them onto the road to
feeling a lot better!

OCP was a sweet snowshoe siamese boy.He had it rough since the day he first
came to us,which was not too long ago.The disease was just too much for his
little body to take. He was a very laid bad loving baby.
