I think I might Ruth, will have to see come Thurs. Am just relieved that things seem to be on an even keel now.

Glad she is eating

YAY exellent news

Keep us posted about how the weighing goes

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #223 on:** September 15, 2007, 09:33:10 AM »

Glad to hear that Tiger has got a healthy appetite...

Bazsmum · « **Reply #222 on:** September 15, 2007, 09:28:27 AM »

Sounds great Des....i'd also be tempted to take her in to see how much weight etc

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #221 on:** September 14, 2007, 21:50:36 PM »

Picked the little madam up earlier, and she is seeming very heavy, so obviously putting weight on. So, she has been ignored when demanding food, as she obviously doesn't need as much as she has been getting!! Lucy is getting weighed on Thurs, I am tempted to take Tiger too.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #220 on:** September 12, 2007, 08:03:53 AM »

Me too - she is just being extra demanding for food at the moment!! She does get quite agitated about it though, which is odd.

Glad Tiger is doing OK, Desley. My cats do the same....whatever I seem to feel is useful, that's what they want!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #218 on:** September 10, 2007, 08:15:43 AM »

Yep!!

Her usual demanding self, currently sat on the blanket in my bedroom - bought for me, but she seems to have taken it over!! She doesn't like the cat fleece, it has to be my fleecy blanket!! Whatever keeps her happy though, they deserve to be spoilt.

typical

Hows Tiger doing today Desley?

They had Asda Tiger for tea and she has been sick again - hopefully just cos she ate it too quick.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #211 on:** September 06, 2007, 15:11:24 PM »

Glad she's keeping the richer wet foods down....yeah i agree with you totally Des leave her alone while she is happy

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #210 on:** September 06, 2007, 07:57:20 AM »

Yeah, she has been able to eat Natures Menu and Bozita this week with little probs, so am really pleased. The limp is still there, so maybe it is something serious, but while she will eat and play and show interest in life I am going to leave it be, and deal with it when it does become an issue.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #209 on:** September 05, 2007, 14:30:27 PM »

Hope Tiger's keeping up the good work?

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #208 on:** September 02, 2007, 12:34:29 PM »

No sick or diarrhea, but she is in one of her odd moods where you can't even walk near her without her running off. Just got to see what happens with her limp now.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #207 on:** September 02, 2007, 09:51:53 AM »

How's she doing this morning, Desley?

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #206 on:** September 01, 2007, 11:08:42 AM »

I know!! She is constantly demanding food at the moment, and is trying to eat everyones food, but Molly and Lucy are on natures menu, whcih was too rich for her last time. I am going to get some Bozita later and try and mix small amounts in with her Asda Tiger, in the hope it will fill her up a bit more!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #205 on:** August 31, 2007, 12:07:00 PM »

Oh if only a happy medium could be found

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #204 on:** August 31, 2007, 07:54:46 AM »

I am hoping she just ate too quickly, she is constantly demanding food again, and acting as though she hasn't eaten in days!!
Ruth - she is 14, so I dont like them having too much dry, and she wolfs her 1/4 pouch and demands more food, so would have preferred to fill her with more wet than dry, but obviously not an option at the moment.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #203 on:** August 30, 2007, 11:52:06 AM »

Is there any specific reason why you need to increase the wet?

clarenmax · « **Reply #202 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:36:16 AM »

Sorry to hear that Desley

JackSpratt · « **Reply #201 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:15:54 AM »

Oh no. Poor Tiger (and you!

) Hope she's back on a level again soon.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #200 on:** August 30, 2007, 07:48:38 AM »

Seems like I spoke too soon, we have had a bad morning - she was acting weird this morning, really desperate for food to the stage she was getting aggressive. Then decided not to eat everything I gave her, and has been sick, plus there is some dodgy poo in the tray. I had increased the amount of wet food she had, so will try knocking that down again and hope it helps.

clarenmax · « **Reply #199 on:** August 29, 2007, 13:39:25 PM »

Sorry to hear there's still no clear-cut ideas of how to move forward with Tiger - as Ruth says, if only they could talk and tell us how they are feeling and where they are hurting.

Whatever you decide Desley I'm sure it will be the right option for her

Bazsmum · « **Reply #198 on:** August 29, 2007, 13:27:39 PM »

....atleast she is giving you a good indication when she's not well in herself

Ive just had that dilemma myself.....wether to explore further and maybe just make matters worse.....really awful thing to have hanging over your head....if only they could speak to us

Im sure only you will know if further investigation is worth while

ps....i personally would not bother.....could only make matters worse

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #197 on:** August 28, 2007, 10:36:26 AM »

She is still eating find and keeping it down - nearly 2 weeks since she was last sick, am very relieved, even if it does mean feeding supermarket own brands!! Will give her a bit longer, and then try and introduce higher quality back into her diet. Still limping, so I am debating whether it is worth putting her through the exploratory surgery, but if, as me and the vet suspect, it shows the worst case scenario, there is nothing we can do, so not sure it is worth putting her through it. She is relatively happy in herself, can never quite tell with her though, when she has her mad moments she is quite aggressive, so not sure if she is doing it cos she feels crap and it is her only release.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #196 on:** August 25, 2007, 17:30:24 PM »

Aw great news Des.....prob still sore from her circus antics at the weekend.....bet your feeling abit releived about her eating (well keeping it down!)

Have a nice weekend away when you go & im sure all will be fine when you get back

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #195 on:** August 25, 2007, 12:34:39 PM »

Well, she seems happy with the small amount of wet food and the rest dry, am going to increase her wet next week and see how we go. She has put weight on, think it was just over 100g, so things are looking better. She is back to demanding food constantly. She is still limping though, I am away this weekend, so hopefully will see it in a fresh light and it might look like nothing.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #194 on:** August 22, 2007, 07:40:12 AM »

She seems happier with the small amount of wet food and the rest dry, she is much happier to eat the dry, esp when i give her a different flavour each time she asks. Still limping though. She is going to go with Lucy tomorrow to get weighed.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #193 on:** August 21, 2007, 20:45:47 PM »

Fingers crossed the new combination of food will help

How is Tiger today, pleased to hear she had something she enjoyed yesterday

Hows the limp, still the same, thinking of you all

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #191 on:** August 21, 2007, 09:45:19 AM »

Hope all goes well with Tiger's eating today.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #190 on:** August 21, 2007, 07:31:33 AM »

She hasn't been too happy on only dry, but was then picking at her sensitivity food over the weekend, and didnt like the idea of coley either!! So gave in last night and gave her some 'normal' cat food mixed with the sensitivity - she tucked into the cat food and ate round the sensitivity!!! But was then happy to eat purely dry for the rest of the night, so am going to try giving her 1/4 pouch morning and night, with dry the rest of the time - she tucked into the food so well this morning I felt a bit guilty, she hasn't tucked into a meal that well for a while. Her limp does seem to be worse - but she didn't eat her food with Metacam in it over the weekend, might try again tonight, now she is enjoying her food more.

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #189 on:** August 20, 2007, 15:09:38 PM »

How is Tiger today?????????

Bazsmum · « **Reply #188 on:** August 20, 2007, 13:00:58 PM »

Has Tiger managed to stay on the dry & keep her food down Des? Hope she has

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #187 on:** August 18, 2007, 17:14:47 PM »

I know, she is a spoilt little brat!! Sadly not, it is at the top of the stairs, there is a gap big enough for my pull along hoover to stand, then the door to the cat room. And if I put something solid there, she might actually do more damage to herself - although it might stop her, which would be the best option, as she does have arthritis in both her hips too, I dont want her doing too much landing on them!!
