UPDATE Eating Habits
It's been 3 days since she finished her antibiotics, and Natasha is
still not eating. I just spoke to her vet, and her most recent blood test (taken Friday) came back normal. Even her white cell counts are back to normal. Even her behaviour continues to be fairly normal (except for the eating part) Tonight I'm taking her by the vet to try something we probably should have tried a while back - a shot of good old vitamin B, kickstarter of appetites. If *that* doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha |

She had her vitamin B shot this evening, and now we wait to see if it kicks in. While there, I had the doctor check her mouth and throat again, but he didn't find anything. If the vitamin shot doesn't work, about the only thing left is to schedule an ultrasound, but I don't know if I want to do that. Basically, I don't think I'm going to have anything "major" done, and if it's something an ultrasound would pick up when nothing else has, then I'm thinking it would take major intervention to set things right. And I'm not going to do that to her. Natasha is more than 19-1/2 years old. Tonight at the vet they did the age and weight correlation to human years, and according to that she's 120 years old. I think we all know that sometimes old people just lose their interest in food. If this is indeed going to be the end for Natasha, she's had a nice long life and she's due a nice peaceful end, don't you think?

Yes, that is absolutely true. {{{{Jeanne}}}} That is the choice I had to make for Frank last year. We *may* have been able to cure all the problems he had, but it would have taken a lot of medication and other lengthy and invasive procedures, and they weren't guaranteed to help anyway.

UPDATE Eating Habits
My son's old cat (now RB) would not eat, and in desperation we took him to
my vet. He was supposed to eat special food for kidneys,and would not touch it. The vet gave him a shot of valium and put a dish of food in front of ..him. Oscar was so zonked that his face fell into the dish and he proceeded to gorge himself ! A small dose of valium will often stimulate a cat to eat, and it does not harm them.
