Nanki-Poo news

For those who didn't see this on another thread.  Purrs, prayers,
crossed fingers and paws are requested.

I had to take Nanki-Poo back to the doctor.  He hadn't eaten anything
for at least 24 hours, and I don't think he was drinking either.  He had
another infusion and she took some blood to send out for testing.  She
thinks he may have one of the nasty cat viruses.  She says cats that are
properly cared for can live several years with them, but it would
probably mean keeping him shut up so Lindy can't catch it.  She said it
was just a possibility, so I shouldn't get too depressed yet.

He doesn't seem to be feeling too bad.  He snuggles and purrs, and he
actually jumped up onto the high shelf in the closet.  As you know,
there's stuff on that shelf, so he had to be able to jump really high.

He's also very stubborn.  She tried a different kind of food on him.
First she warmed it up in the microwave, and then she teased him with
it.  He seemed definitely interested, but when she finally let him get
at it, he wouldn't eat.  She also gave me an appetite stimulant to give
him.  It's in pill form.  She had me try giving him one, and he spit it
out.  She got a special pill-giving gizmo and used it.  He immediately
began drooling like crazy, and a few minutes later when I wiped off the
drool, part of the pill was there.  The fact that he's so feisty is a
good sign, but it would be a lot better if he'd be more cooperative
about eating and taking pills.

I'm to call her Monday for the results of the blood tests.

There ara a lot of things that can cause a cat to lose its appetite,
some of them not serious. If it continues you might want to think about
trying some Petromalt or something similar. It's a gooey paste in a
tube, and you smear a blob of it on kittie's paw. When he cleans
himself, he'll (hopefully) lick it off. Just don't put too big a blob -
kitty can then flick his paw and send a great big blob of petromalt
sailing through the air!

Thanks, Dan - for the encouraging words, and for the advice.  I might
even have some Petromalt.  I think I had it for Skeeter (RB), and it
might still be around.  I'll check.  I'll also follow your advice.  ;-)

With the cats ability to shake off the petromalt you just have to rub it
into the fur a bit.  Or it will be all over the room.

Don't know why but it not only nourishes them, but it seems to stimulate
their appetite.

Thank you, Adrian.  The purrs and prayers worked!  He tested negative to
the three nasty viruses, so I feel he will make a full recovery.

Thank you, Jean.  The purrs worked!  He ate quite a bit of dry food this
morning.
