Yay, I'm so pleased! hopefully he's starting to feel a lot better now

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #108 on:** September 08, 2010, 07:06:12 AM »

He ate some chicken this morning - willingly and really tucked into it instead of halfheartedly licking it

Am going to cancel the vets as the vet he saw on Monday said that he would expect him to be better by Weds and if not to bring him back, he's been a lot brighter for the last few days it was just the lack of eating that was worrying me. I had to get up at 4am today to take my sister & family to the airport and while I was getting ready he jumped off the bed and pounced on Lu - that's my boy

Helen hun Just catching up with this so sorry not seen it sooner.

Please give Riles my love and sending over loads of very best wishes he will feel better soon and the vets can find out whats wrong. Does sound tummy prob. Does his tum feel bloated? Rio had a tummy bug for about 2 weeks before i went to another vets and they gave him the right meds to get rid of it. That afternoon he was back to norm.

Sending over cuggles for you Riles and Lu

Poor baby, I really hope he's better again soon, he must be feeling rotten

JackSpratt · « **Reply #101 on:** September 07, 2010, 16:54:51 PM »

Oh Helen.

I thought he'd be back on form by now. Really hope the vets can figure out what's wrong with Riley and treat him accordingly.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #100 on:** September 07, 2010, 16:20:16 PM »

He's been seen 4 times now and each time they had a really thorough poke and squueze of his innards, he's also poo-ing (albeit runny poos now

) so think this rules out a blockage.

I've booked the appointment for tomorrow morning already and picked one of the top vets who saw him while he was hospitalised on Saturday. I just want him back to normal

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #99 on:** September 07, 2010, 16:16:10 PM »

Has vet ruled out Riley eating something that may have caused a blockage perhaps Helen?

I've only really got this possibility on my mind as our young un chewed through the thin wire aerial on our radio at the end of last week. He went off his food a bit so I rang vet and they said to keep an eye on his appetite and bring him in if he became listless as it may cause a blockage. I don't want to worry you further but just want to make sure vet has considered it....

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #98 on:** September 07, 2010, 15:18:32 PM »

He seems brighter in himself today but is still not eating, he licked the gravy off some gourmet gold but ignored cat milk, chicken breast and beef slices

No vomiting since Friday but he now has a runny bum

Janeyk · « **Reply #97 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:50:22 PM »

Thinking of Riley and hope that today is a better day

Hope Riley is improving today

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #95 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:25:51 AM »

Still thinking about our lovely boy and hoping things are improving. Such a worry

Hope he's looking brighter today Helen.

Understand how worried you must be

but you need to make sure you look after yourself too (although I'd prob give the HB tinned steaky stuff a miss

)

Thinking of you - come on Riley lad

Hopefully he is demanding breakfast this morning

Liz · « **Reply #91 on:** September 06, 2010, 23:37:26 PM »

Helen can sympathise HRH Princess Sweetie has been on hunger strike today but walloped a sachet of kitten food as good as it looks and has been a lot perkier this evening - our other mob are enjoying all the extra good stuff!

We have all paws crossed here for Riley and our Riley is sending extra hisses - he doesn't do nice yet for the gorgeous nice boy he was named after

ginge66 · « **Reply #90 on:** September 06, 2010, 22:14:27 PM »

so know how you feel it is very stressful. My other cat Larry who always snuggles up with Leo has done nothing but hiss at him since coming home from the vets, even today. I can only assume he must smell funny because hes still not 100%. I assume the vet has looked in Riley's mouth to check for mouth ulcers etc, hope he starts to pick up soon.

for you Hun, we all know how much your adore your boys so its understandable that you are feeling stressed - take care xxx

princessmaizie · « **Reply #88 on:** September 06, 2010, 20:53:25 PM »

LOL At least if Lucas is eating well you know he's not picked the bug up!
Try and take care if yourself Helen, you'll be no good to Riley if you get sick to!!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #87 on:** September 06, 2010, 20:26:13 PM »

He licked the gravy off some gourmet gold earlier and had a few tiny nibbles of Bozita, I think because he's eaten so little the last few days that his empty tummy is making him feel sick so a vicious circle. I've not been eating much either as I've been so stressed and worried about him, last night I felt sick and stomach crampy from under-eating and if you had tried to make me eat it would have been impossible so I sort of know how Riley feels.

Cuddles to for Lucas who must be really confused as to whats going on!

Lucas is loving it! He gets to eat all the food that I put down for Riley that Riley ignores

So far he's had more chicken breast in the last few days than he's had his whole life, Royal Canin sensitivity (he was quite partial to that), Gourmet Gold, Beefy water and a few extra dinners too!

snarf · « **Reply #86 on:** September 06, 2010, 20:21:12 PM »

Hope Rileys managed to eat a little something more

princessmaizie · « **Reply #85 on:** September 06, 2010, 19:16:00 PM »

Sending more cuddles and vibes for Riley, hope he picks up soon! Cuddles to for Lucas who must be really confused as to whats going on!

Helen, I am so sorry that I missed this thread

I hope he is feeling better soon xxx

Sending heaps of love, huggles and positive vibes for the gorgeous Riley - get better soon handsome boy xxx

Sending loads more good wishes to Riley............at times like this you wish they could talk

Yvonne · « **Reply #82 on:** September 06, 2010, 17:15:39 PM »

Tuna in brine is ok it is just that they usually prefer it in oil - has he eaten any tuna yet?

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #81 on:** September 06, 2010, 15:49:15 PM »

Thanks everyone, took him back to the vets today as although he is nibbling at food he is still very down/lethargic.

The vet gave him another steroid jab and said that given that he is young, fit and otherwise healthy he suspects it's a long lasting form of gastritis and that if he is no better by weds then to bring him back in for tests. He wasn't dehydrated this time which is good and he hasn't been sick since I bought him home on Saturday.

Went to the shop and bought him cat milk, tuna (in brine as had already been before you posted Yvonne), beef slices and gourmet gold. He ignored the stewing steak that he ate yesterday but has had a tiny nibble of normal cat food.

Yvonne · « **Reply #80 on:** September 06, 2010, 15:28:10 PM »

Sorry that I missed this earlier.

Hope Riley is feeling better soon. I found that Tuna fish in oil not brine slightly warmed up when pussies are off their food.

Good luck with him – glad they are back together now.

Kirst · « **Reply #79 on:** September 06, 2010, 13:22:13 PM »

Can't believe I missed this - hope that Riley feels better soon xxxxx

clarenmax · « **Reply #78 on:** September 06, 2010, 09:45:32 AM »

Aw hope Riley eats a bit more today, at least he's interested in food which is always a good sign

Janeyk · « **Reply #77 on:** September 06, 2010, 08:59:11 AM »

Poor Riley, I'm hoping that he's feeling better today and eating a little bit more

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #76 on:** September 06, 2010, 08:49:11 AM »

Fingers crossed he eats a bit more today. Good luck at the vets

Jaffa was exactly the same when Mosi was at the vets when he had his pyjama case surgery a few years ago (when he swallowed string and had to have his tummy cut open). It's that eau de vet surgery smell.

Fire Fox · « **Reply #75 on:** September 05, 2010, 21:45:55 PM »

If you can get hold of VIYO cat milk that is very popular at chez Noah. Instead of diluting it I sometimes mix with a raw egg (protein in liquid form

). VIYO apparently contains vitamins, minerals plus taurine, can't tell you for sure if it is complete tho.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #74 on:** September 05, 2010, 21:35:05 PM »

PrincessMaizie & Rosella

Yep Rosella, they're brothers and normally very close - that's why it's so upsetting to see Lu hissing at Riley and I'm having to stop myself from being angry at Lu as I know it's not his fault it's just that Riley smells funny to him

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #73 on:** September 05, 2010, 21:24:38 PM »

So pleased he is at least nibbling a bit of food Helen. Such a terrible worry when they won't eat

Sending more get well vibes for Riley and hope his buddy continues to help chill Riley out. I can't remember Helen

. Are they brothers?

princessmaizie · « **Reply #72 on:** September 05, 2010, 21:03:46 PM »

Fingers crossed for Riley!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #71 on:** September 05, 2010, 21:00:44 PM »

He's had a few mouthfuls of 'normal' cat food too

I only fed Lu at dinnertime and he didn't come when I was dishing up but a few minutes later I heard a hiss from Lu and Riley was trying to see what was in his bowl. I dished him up his own portion and he had a few nibbles and has had another mini-portion just now. He still seems very subdued and miserable though, fingers crossed he's turning the corner

Only just seen this hun, really hope he feels better soon
