Might be feline distemper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_distemper Any blood in the liter box? Is he drinking? You could always put some straight CS in his water dish too. Or syringe it into his mouth. If you know how to hold him by the scruff its not as hard as it seems. One thing is to place his lips over his teeth as you do it. He will be less prone to bite then as he is biting himself at same time. Works well.
If it is worms or tapeworms then over the counter cat dewormer might help. Lots of possibilities here. _____ From: Fuzzmom [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 11:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CS>Cat Won't Gain weight Hi..thanks to everyone who gave me advice on my finger..it's doing a lot better.
