Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Hobbes is spending the day with Ted
He began coughing last week - very similar to the asthmatic cough that Sam experienced. He also has had a runny eye for about a week so I took him in to see TED. His upper canines (felines?) are infected which she said might be causing his runny eye and possibly the coughing/infection. His temp was normal but he did have a red throat. She gave him a low dose of steroids and I've had him on Clavomax for the past week. Today he'll get his 6 month dental and get those two infected teeth cleaned really well. That's assuming he passes his blood work tests and the x-rays I've asked for. Hobbes is terribly overweight and I always worry about him when he has to have any procedure done. I'd appreciate any purrs that might be available - especially purrs that he doesn't have to loose those two teeth. I hate it when they loose their "fangs".

Thank you Adrian, and of course the four of mine left at home continue to send purrs to everyone else in need. Julie Purrs and prayers that Hobbes comes through everything with flying colors.

I hate it when they loose their "fangs". Aw, poor Hobbes. Frank sends his best BTDT purrs. His constant sniffles are probably due to his constant teeth problems. His own vet recommended he have his fangs out, but the vet at the vet school said it was too risky a procedure for such an elderly cat, so he got to keep his fangs thanks to his venerable age (Frank told me to write 'venerable'). I sincerely hope it's just an URI and he doesn't develop asthma, though you seem to have been very successful in treating Sam. Miranda is purring for Hobbes, too, and I'm sending my best healing vibes. SignatureMarina, Frank and Miranda. In loving memory of Nikki. marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki Thank you Marina and and Irulan and everyone else who has sent purrs. I just got a call and Hobbes has come through his dental without any trouble. He did not have to lose his fangs (fang you furry much, says Hobbes). The receptionist called me to let me know he had completed his dental but said that TED will discuss with me his x-rays when I pick him up this afternoon and bloodwork will be back tomorrow. Of course now I'm going to worry about what that means! Marina, I'm not sure Hobbes would be as easy as Sam is in regards to dealing with daily inhaled meds. But at 28 lbs he can't have injected steroids so if that's the case he'll have to have IM. I'm going to not borrow trouble until trouble finds me and hope that he simply has a cold. Again, thank you all for your purrs. Julie and Hobbes >> He began coughing last week - very similar to the asthmatic cough that >> Sam experienced.

If he is really obese, a little weight loss program could only help his lungs. I know it's hard to do. Kitty does not beg for food, if she isn't satisfied with what I give her, she just goes out and catches herself a collared dove and eats it, in which case I don't give her anything else for 24 hours. She only weighs about 4lbs after all. Boyfriend will beg for dry food, even though he has had plenty of wet. He loves it so much I can't refuse to give him just a little bit, so I know about cats that insist they are so hungry they will faint at any moment if they don't get (what they've set their heart on) I am lucky that both my cats are slim. I would hate to have to say no to their pleading if they weren't. Tweed Tweed > He began coughing last week - very similar to the asthmatic cough that Sam > experienced.

Thanks, Tweed. He made it through without having to lose his 'fangs'. We appreciate the purrs. > If he is really obese, a little weight loss program could only help his > lungs. I know it's hard to do. The vet and I are going to have a discussion tonight regarding Hobbes. The problem is that I have five cats and all are indoor only. I mentioned walking Hobbes on a leash recently and she agreed but told me to go slowly with him as she is concerned about his heart. I'm in the process of switching everyone to weight management dry food which won't hurt anyone except for Lacey who barely weighs 7 lbs but she's old enough that she won't be missing any real nutrients. Then we'll think about not free feeding. Lacey is the problem there again because she only eat a little at a time throughout the day. If I take up the food then she might not get enough. They all get a small amount of wet food in the morning and the evening but less than 4 oz and when the girls and Hobbes don't finish theirs then Sam and Barnabus clean their plates. Life can be difficult sometimes in a multi-multi-cat household. I'll update everyone tonight after talking with TED. Gotta leave right now and pick up my boy before TED closes her office.

The > problem is that I have five cats and all are indoor only. Most ordinary "moggie cat" owners in UK are able to let their cats out, so they get plenty of exercise. Obese cats are fairly uncommon here. Not unknown though. I > mentioned walking Hobbes on a leash recently and she agreed but told me to > go slowly with him as she is concerned about his heart. Presumably because he is very heavy now. Good luck with trying to exercise him a bit.

I had a multi-dog household (9), almost everyone had different dietary needs, it can be done. Just ask.
