Thank you Seamonkey for your help! Puffy he is a lover and he loves to lay on his back. Tuffy is a total Miss Priss and she wants your attention when SHE wants it lol. She will crawl in our laps and after 2 to 5 mins she is done then she will sit at our feet lol. But Puffy, he is a total lover and wants to be cuddled all the time. So far they have not tried to get outside, and they are really good kitties.

Sigh, one of my kitties hasn't hardly eaten for ten days. It's not unusual for him to have a bad day or two, then he chunks up some hairballs and he's fine. But ten days? I can't imagine what's wrong with him, and this is a cat that absolutely lives to eat. We see the vet in the morning. Your good thoughts are appreciated!

I went to the Vet today and was able to get some deworming medicine for my new babies without having to take them in for an appt. That is the only thing we have had to deal with since I got them. We need to fix them up to stay in the bathroom for at least 24 hours while the medicine is working. We got the Broad-spectrim dewormer. I also got their charts started today and all the prices I need to know to get all their medicial stuff done. They told me since I have two kitties, they will let me pay for half the bill one month and then pay the other half the next month. That will help a lot.

Thank you all. I am getting so worried about him. Today he barely got down 1/16 of a cup of food. Normally he eats a half cup a day. He looks so gaunt, and he has so little energy. I can't even imagine what it could be. I imagine the vet will take blood tests? What else can they do?

Kar, I'm sure they will do blood and urine testing and a physical exam. They may want to do an xray too. I hope it goes very well.

Three hours later and we are home with no real answers. Strider has lost almost 3 pounds in about 11 days! Blood tests were normal except for his white cell count which indicates some kind of infection, but we have no idea where it is. Xrays showed some injury (possibly past) to his spinal cord, and his bladder is abnormally shaped and thick, altho again that could be due to his chronic urinary tract disease. Also his intestines are empty (no duh as my son says) and a lot of gas; but at least there are no blockages which is what I feared. X-rays will be reviewed by a radiologist in a few days, that was just the review of the vet. So, we left with a low res food to try to see if we can get him to keep something down; and no real answers either.

How, frustrating for you. I am so sorry your Strider is feeling punk. Prayers for a fast recovery.

Karin, that's strange. Our graphic designer's kitty just wasted away in much the same manner, mysteriously and refusing to eat. She was 20 years old, though. I figured it was old age. I'm sure you've tried changing foods and tempting with something different? If he got sick on his regular food he's unlikely to eat it again anytime soon. I'd be shoveling table food at him at this point if he'd eat it. 3 lbs is a lot for a little kitty.

Thanks so much OG and GAL. He is eating the low res food, like a starving kitty. He's only 6, but he has had urinary tract disease since he was just over one. We have to be careful what we feed him, because he is so prone to having his bladder inflame, with crystals and bloody urine and pure misery. Vet said the medicine he is on for his UTD may be causing ulcers in his GI tract, even tho nothing showed up on the xray. They couldn't get a fecal sample because he was just plain empty. So hopefully he'll be able to tolerate this food, we are jsut feeding him little amts at a time since his stomach must be a mess. GAL, I am hoping that he's just refusing his normal food since he may (as you said) be associating it with making him sick. We'll have to see if he can keep this down, and hopefully get a fecal sample for more testing. Poor little dear. He's just curled up on my bed, looking forlorn and miserable. DS keeps bringing him little bits of the new food and water, so he won't have to get up!

I just had a horrible thought. I hope he never had any of that recalled cat food. Who knows if it's still going on? Kar, I hope this new food does the trick and and he will be fine.

I hope this new food is good for Strider and that if he has ulceration it will subside a bit. Oh.. a thought.. he has an infection of unknown origin.. trouble eating. Teeth? Gum infection? Has that been ruled out? Assume they have him on some sort of antibiotic too. I wonder about yogurt for a cat? A friend of mine who has been having GI problems due to meds she is on was told recently by her doctor to start eating Dannon Activia yogurt and she says that seems to have made a big difference. No idea if that would be appropriate. Poor little guy. Hope things will improve, and soon.
