Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Purrs needed, please
Smokey, our 14YO DSH has been feeling poorly. Listless, sleeps *all* the time (has even slept through breakfast which is most unusual). DW took him to the Vet for his annual exam. Vet did blood work and found everything fine except the kidney values. Thought it might be either an infection or the beginning of renal failure. So the Vet prescribed an amoxycillin tab twice daily and acidophilus(sp?) powder to mix in with his wet food. The acidophilus is to keep the amoxycillin from upsetting his stomach. He detests having his food mucked with - didn't eat any of his moist food for 3 days and just nibbled at the dry. Ramona (DW) devised a way to get the acidophilus down him. She mixes in the prescribed amount (1/4 tsp) in 1-2 ounces of milk and gives it to him from an eye dropper. He doesn't like to procedure, but he loves milk so much he puts up with it. Anyway, please get your kits to reve up their motors for Smokey to feel better and not to have major kidney problems. Thanks, folks. Sam Purrs are coming for Smokey from my four.

SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com Purrs for Smokey a'comin' -- does Smokey also like yogurt? I've mixed acidophilis powder with vanilla yogurt before and my cats will go for the yogurt bigtime -- the Yoplait custard vanilla yogurt is the favorite with the furfolk. At least if that works, you'll get the live cultures in the yogurt, too. hth, Christine > Smokey, our 14YO DSH has been feeling poorly.

In some grocery stores you can buy "Sweet Acidophilus" milk. Since Smokey loves milk, this might do the trick without the dropper, thus easing the stress for both Ramona and Smokey.

Purrs for his worried family too. SignatureElise (supervised by Gossamer & Jeeves) dragonandthistle at snet dot net He wasn't eating again today so Ramona called the vet. Vet suggested discontinuing the amoxycillin and the acidophilus to see if he would stop eating again.. We'll try that first. If that doesn't work, he goes back to the vet first. If the vet wants to restart the amoxy, I'll try Christine and/or Jill's suggestion about acidophilus yogurt and the acidophilus milk. Thanks, guys. Sam > Smokey, our 14YO DSH has been feeling poorly.

After talking to the vet, we discontinued the acidophilus powder in the food and the amoxycillin tablet. Smokey's started eating again. Not the big appetite yet that he used to have, but he is *ready* when mealtime comes. Leads us into the kitchen, supervises the doling out of food, and goes right to it when it's put down for him. As to the kidney levels, the doc thought it was more important for him to eat right now and build up his strength a bit before resuming the meds. Thanks to all for the purrs, Sam > As usual, the power of purr is truly awesome.

It's always such a worry when they don't eat. We're still purring for Smokey to recover completely.
