Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005NEED CAT HELP-EMERGENCY
I have a semi domesticated feral cat living in my garage.He is the coolest cat I have ever had, he is almost a dog in the way he comes to me when I give him the signal I am outside. I have feed him for 3 years and had him in the house a few times. He is VERY VERY sick. He went from a Mountain Lion to a very sick cat in 2 days. Swollen eyes, sneezing..I went to the vet and he gave me something to put in his food(he doesn;t eat) and some gop for his eyes, which I have applied and it has temporariy worked. He could never meow more than a whisper and the vet said it was a Respitory problem...For 4 days now he hasbeen suffering, he leaves the garage and sits in the weeds all day and returns to the box in the garage at night, rarely eating. Any quick and cheap solution..he is battling fiercely > I have a semi domesticated feral cat living in my garage.He is the > coolest cat I have ever had, he is almost a dog in the way he comes to [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Any quick and cheap solution..he is battling fiercely Try a different vet. As for the medicine, you may need something other than "to put in his food"; many of us have had to pill our cats or squirt a liquid dropper of medicine in the cats mouth. Jill I didn't bring him to the vet I described his symptoms and they gave me this liquid. He said if I could get in in his mouth to do so but the cat would have scratched me or pull away but maybe now I can do because he is so weak. I thought maybe someone had a magic elixir from the old country. >I didn't bring him to the vet I described his symptoms and they gave me > this liquid.

In all fairness, you expect anyone over the internet to help you to treat a cat you cannot medicate and have not taken to a vet and that we have never seen? All I can suggest is pray and light a candle. Because you are asking for an unassisted miracle. Jo > I didn't bring him to the vet I described his symptoms and they gave me > this liquid.

Sometimes even the sickest cats will eat that. >I didn't bring him to the vet I described his symptoms and they gave me >this liquid.

I thought maybe someone had a magic elixir from the old >country. If at all possible, I'd say you need to get him in and actually seen by a vet. No, no magic elixir here. You might have better luck if you mix the medication a food your cat considers a treat. I'm currently giving my Sammy antibiotics. At first I tried squirting it in her mouth, but she fought that. Following advice seen here, I've been mixing her dose in tuna, and she licks the plate clean. Tuna doesn't work for all cats (my Little Bit turns her nose up at almost all hoomin food, including tuna). So, if your cat won't eat tuna, you could try sour cream, yogurt, or some of the kitten mik they have at some pet stores.

Have to agree that I wondered myself if there was really a sick kitty, or just a troll. Leaning towards a troll since there's a followup post a half hour later talking about the dying cat. If there is a cat, I'm hoping the OP is following the advice of others and getting the sick cat to the vet.

Look at this guy's email address. My first thought was a troll. But as there are many stupid "kids" in this world, I felt he needed a push. Probably wasted in both cases. MLB >> > I have a semi domesticated feral cat living in my garage.He is the > coolest [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > I'm pretty sure there's no cat. Look at this guy's email address. This is possible and I also wondered about it. However, I responded to another of this person's messages (in the thread "cat dying HELP"), just in case there really is a cat in the condition he described. MaryL > Any quick and cheap solution..he is battling fiercely Yes, 'All Man', get a pair of thick gloves, put on a thick jacket, get the carrying crate ready, pick him up, put him in it and get him to the vet NOW. Deb. Signaturehttp://www.scientific-art.com "He looked a fierce and quarrelsome cat, but claw he never would; He only bit the ones he loved, because they tasted good." S. Greenfield The best bet is to bring him back to that vet, or to another vet if you're not satisfied with the help the first one gave you. From the sound of it, bringing him to an emergency vet clinic, if there's one in your area, is an option worth considering. Most of us can empathize with the fact that a sudden crisis-care vet bill can take a chunk out of one's budget. The posters on this group have all been there. But a lot of vets will work out payment plans with pet owners, and I'm sure you can talk to the vet about that. Unfortunately, with symptoms like you've described, there really aren't a lot of options for relief besides taking the kitty to a vet. He sounds like he's gone beyond the point where home remedies will be effective. I hope your vet gives you good news and your kitty's illness is easily treatable, and that he makes a full recovery. He sounds like a great cat. Donna > He is VERY VERY sick. He went from a Mountain Lion to a very sick cat Stop watching him suffer - get him to a doctor.
