Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004tosca update
Hi there Been lurking for a while, would like to know how Tosca is doing. Did you mean MY Tosca? Or were you talking about another Tosca? > Hi there > > Been lurking for a while, would like to know how Tosca is doing. >Did you mean MY Tosca?

Unfortunately, the diarrhoea continues. She has been back and forth to the vet and is now on her third lot (continual) of kaolin/antibiotic mix tablets. It has not got worse but is not particularly improving. I have her on a diet of chicken and rice and some very blank vet food which she takes her pills with. It's all very frustrating really. I am keeping her on these pills for 5 more days and then I'm going to suggest she goes in for tests. The vet seems to think it is simply an intollerance to something - but I have no idea what right now because she isn't getting anything very interesting! But she's lively and happy. I think it upsets me more than it does her! Will keep you posted. Any ideas very much welcomed. Chris > >Did you mean MY Tosca?

My latest 'recipe' for her is fresh chicken, mixed with rice and chicken soup (my vet suggested the chicken soup - the one you mix with water). It makes the mixture wetter and she finds it easier to digest. I'm hoping this might improve things. I'm trying to clear up the problem first and then gradually reintroduce her to new foods until I find something that she can stomach (literally!) > Thank you for asking. > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > > > your tosca chris. the one with the upset tummy >P.S.

Unfortunately, she's not too keen on chicken and rice and only eats when she's starving - I feel like the wicked witch. But guess I'm being cruel to be kind and taking strick instructions from the vet. One of the things that put me off scrambled egg was the fact that you really need to add milk. I could use cat milk but I know there's a lot of lactose intollerence and it might be she's suffers from that too! I also have some Provita which I give her on a daily basis - it's a natural product that's supposed to help. > >P.S.

Hopefully, they will be able to find out what is causing this.

I now have her on antibiotics and she's definitely improving - eating more than I have ever seen her eat since I got her! Still on mild vetinary food at the moment until it's all cleared up. > Tosca is now staying at the vets for a few days so they can do some tests. > Hopefully, they will be able to find out what is causing this.

Great news! The improvement, not the infection. *S* Would hate to give anyone the wrong impression. Does she take her meds well? I have spot on liquid amoxi for a mild UTI. He does very well with the liquid. Not sure I'd want to try pilling him though. Hope Tosca continues to improve and will be able to eat "normal" food soon. Nina Yes, I mix the pills up with her food and she's eating so well, she doesn't appear to be aware of them at all. I have never seen her eat so much - she even ate the chicken I put down for her tonight - she normally turns her nose up at that. She crys for food too - never done that before! It's like having a different cat!! Hopefully, I'll have it all cleared up in a week. The vet has said to bring her back if it hasn't gone in a week so they can do some more tests but so far, it's looking good. Thank you > > Update: Tosca had a very high white cell blood count, indicating that she > > was fighting an infection.
