Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2004Fuga
Hi all, Sorry I am not around much.. We have been busy packing. I've been really busy with cat sitting and my volunteer work with the cat rescue group which has been wonderful. I'm not so sure that Fuga agrees, this morning he vomitted blood. We rushed him into the vet and they feel he has an ulcer due to stress. His blood levels are too good for it to be related to his kidney failure. Fuga has sort of stopped eating, I was able to coax him tonight to try a few bites of fancy feast. I really want him to be able to get to the house to enjoy the backyard...it's only 14 days away... The past two weeks, the fur on his brown siamese face has started to turn white :(. Fuga > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > The past two weeks, the fur on his brown siamese face has started to turn > white :(. Purrs to Fuga. He'll most liekly be fine at the new place, I"m sure moving is a big a stress on our furry friends as it is on us, maybe even more because they don't understand why their world is turning upside down. Yowie Poor Fuga! What can the vet do for him to help heal his ulcer? Purrs for you to be able to help him feel better soonest!

Based on definite human medicine and some reports in the veterinary literature, plausible therapies include a histamine H2-receptor blocker like ranitidine, and/or a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole. My preliminary searches found no ill effects from the H2-blockers, but one unexplained report that omeprazole was not recommended in cats. I gather that the gastrointestinal symptoms are new? If they had been existing, in people, you'd definitely test for Helicobacter pylori infection, and treat it if present. One of the tests in humans, which apparently is available for tests, is analysis of the breath after being fed a test medication. How one gets a cat to blow into a tube, etc., is an interesting thought! Supportive care obviously is important, and a mild tranquilizer might help.

What can the vet do for him to help heal his ulcer? They can prescribe Carafate for ulcers. It coats the tummy and protects it from stomach acid (IIRC; Shadow was on it for possible ulcers when he vomitted blood)  SignatureCheryl > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Fuga Awwww.

Purrs that he gets to feeling better and starts eating so he can enjoy many days in the new back yard SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Fuga Purrs for both you and Fuga. I don't know whether this will help, but my daughter has a cat who is in the early stages of kidney failure, and she had lost her appetite. My son had given her a couple of cans of salmon-flavored cat food after his cat went to the RB. My daughter tried giving Coco a little of the salmon cat food, and she wolfed it down. This was a couple of days ago, the salmon is all gone, but Coco is still eating. There's no guarantee it would work for Fuga, but it might be worth investing in one can to see. Joy I've been told that sometimes baby food will get kitties interested in food again (but watch for onion in the ingredients) -- also, there is a cat food called "a/d" that Hills makes that some vets carry by prescription to also help cats eat -- it did stimulate the appetite of one of my cats. hth, Christine > > Hi all, > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > Joy >Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >Fuga Purrs for Fuga to settle down and start eating.

Our two boys with points spend most of their time inside, in the cool, so they don't change much color, if at all. I'll have to check!

We're sending anti-stress purrs for Fuga. Have you tried a Feliway diffuser? Those work wonders calming down cats. You could also put some Nature's Remedy in the water. SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com I went in Monday to Petsmart and they were out of diffusers. I had them put one aside for me when they arrived yesterday which I promptly picked up plugged in yesterday. I went back about 20 minutes after Fuga was admitted and I saw him for a few minutes. He was eager for me to kiss him when I went in which I hope will be a good sign for a recovery. I will be absolutely devastated if he doesn't get to come to our new home. It was one of main things I was looking forward.. I guess I really am a crazy cat lady. > I went in Monday to Petsmart and they were out of diffusers.

I guess I really am a > crazy cat lady. Positive vibes to Fuga. Surely he'll be OK. No, you are not a crazy cat lady! When Z was in the hospital I went to sit with him every day and talked to him. (and cried on his head). When he had his exploratory surgery years ago he came down with a URI on top of the recovery, so wasn't eating. The vet put in a feeding tube, so I had to tube feed him until he started eating on his own. You wouldn't believe the things I tried to get him to eat again - and trust me this cat was a food hound. Finally one day he decided he wanted to drink my fruit smoothie, and I knew we were on the mend (if I were able, I would have done cartwheels). I pray Fuga doesn't have a rough go of it as Z did, and that he starts eating soon. Many purrs coming your way! Please keep us posted! > I went in Monday to Petsmart and they were out of diffusers.

There's also a product called "Nature's Miracle", but you wouldn't want to put that into a cat's water, I don't think! :) Joyce > Do you mean Rescue Remedy? (The bach flower drops?)
