In m,
-L. composed with style: For those following the sick Pee-wuss... He has been home since Sunday PM. He sounds better! Purrs that he keeps recovering and that he is on the mend. Open to suggestions for getting him to eat. The best success has been chicken and veggie baby food, cooked chicken breast and chicken broth. He licked juice off of some Friskies canned, but won't eat the chunks. Won't touch the Iams kitten canned, but did eat some Purina kitten chow and kept it down (I am trying kitten food because it his higher protein and fat). Any other ideas welcome. I've learned a few tricks since Shadow's worst time last year when I couldn't get him to eat. With the feral who was sick she took to Hills AD mixed with baby food (turkey or chicken) to make a thinner consistency and spooned to her; just held the spoon under her nose and let it touch her mouth so she got a taste and she would lick it off and got enough into her during that time (about 1/2 can per day or a little more). With Shadow and his bouts of nausea I would have to put the food in his mouth to get him to eat but I used a tongue depressor and didn't thin the food at all, just sort of stuck it in and let his teeth scrape the food off. He never had a problem keeping the AD down even when he was nauseous and this didn't seem as stressful to him as a syringe did. I think at some point the food must be "forced" to get past the rough part, but you already know that. Good luck, Lyn. So worrisome... Purrs to Peewee. |

@yahoo.com enlightened us with... For those following the sick Pee-wuss... Purrs to Peewee for his recovery. I don't have much to add that others haven't suggested, but have you tried tuna or sardines to stimulate his appetite? You don't want to give him too much, as they (especially tuna) can have too much mercury in them in quantities. Albacore is the best kind of tuna and has (according to what I've read, anyway) less mercury than the cheaper tuna. Also, there is a product called Nutrical that helps sick cats. It is available at Petsmart and other pet stores and has high fat and calories, vitamins, and minerals. It also acts as an appetite stimulant. Some cats like it, some hate it. I hope he gets better... ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Hey, if you got it flaunt it! If you don't, stare at someone who does. Just don't lick the TV screen, it leaves streaks. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |
