[katlady1974]

ugh- Timber is not cooperating this morning!! :evil: he's on antibiotics for his anal gland and now he doesn't want to eat! he needs to eat with his meds. UGH! i finally put some tuna on his food and he ate a bit. but he has 6 more days of meds to take!!! grr_red

i think i'm going to stop and get some chicken baby food on the way home and try some of that tonight. any other suggestion??

Have you tried the Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken, most cats go nuts for that.

It's day 8, and Timber can't wait, to be OTJ!



Hope Timber feels better soon.

Here are some suggestions I got one time when Furball didn't want to eat. I hope it helps.

sprinkle food with :
- forta flora -- a probiotic you can get at vets or online. is very smelly and cats love the taste of it.
- parm. cheese
- smashed crumbles of dry food
- bonito tuna flakes
- halo chicken treats -- crumble into dust over food
- poor a little water from tuna in water over food ( I use low sodium/no sodium added as other kinds in water has veg. broth in it and I assume that means onions, which are toxic to cats-- check labels)
-powdered oregano. yep sounds weird . but some cats like it and it will entice them to eat.

other ideas of foods to offer your kitty to stim appy:
- trader joe tuna for cats
-baby food -- beechnut turkey and broth or chicken and broth. they have no onions or other additives. some babyfoods have onions . please read labels if you can't find beechnut.
- kentucky fried chicken
- deli turkey /chicken
- plain cooked ( boiled or baked ) chicken breast
-canned chicken for people (watch the label that their are no onions)
- chicken broth -- low sodium

i brought home some chicken baby food (just chicken and broth) and he ate some of that. no where near his normal appetite, but hopefully he'll start to come around! :dizcat

do i need to worry if he's at 39 without any insulin???? :shock: :shock: :shock: he's really not eating much at all with these antibiotics, though he did eat a decent amount tonight when i fed him- better then the rest of the day!

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

A kitty isn't going to hypo when there's no insulin on board. It's just Timber trying to get your attention.

I've seen the Weruva Paw Lickin Chicken at some of the local pet food specialty stores.

BTW, I've seen another cat on OTJ trial hit the upper 30's. It's amazing how it makes us all want to reach for HC, even when we don't need to. :lol: :lol: Happy day 8!

 

[katlady1974]

ok, thanks! it's engrained in me that numbers below 50 are very bad!! :lol:

i have a new supervisor at work and found out she also has a diabetic cat! her cat has been on insuling for 3 years and it still on a fairly high dose (according to her, i didn't ask the dose). she said he's on caninsulin. i was again thankful that Timber was prescribed Lantus and I found all of you lovely folks!!!

I'm telling you, he wants some darn ice cream! :lol:
