Sending get well vibes to Tom. Hopefully it's the hairball or he's just a bit under the weather and he'll be fine again very soon.

I think it's "that time of year" - Willow was sick on the (only cleaned last week) stair carpet yesterday and there was a big hairball in it.

He is still a bit on the quiet side, and not quite into scavenging as much, but I am not going to complain about that. I dont think he needs to go back to the vets tonight, will keep an eye on him one more night - gave up with the bland food, he was too hungry to wait for the chicken to cook!!

I hope that the handsome Tom is feeling better today and that it was the hairball that was making him feel poorly.

Sending him lots of cuddles and chin rubs xxx

Lets hope that is what the problem is

Sorry, have been trying to limit usage at work to avoid site being banned!! He is still fairly quiet for Tom, but someone has brought up a furball today, so hopefully it was him and that was the prob. I am getting loads of fur off him at the moment, as well.

Sorry to hear that Tom's had a poorly tum - how's he doing today Desley?

Ellie · « **Reply #20 on:** February 21, 2007, 08:27:15 AM »

Hi Desley how is the handsome Tom this morning xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2007, 21:48:38 PM »

Lets hope it just mysteriously goes away again, sometimes these things do

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2007, 21:47:33 PM »

Sorry for the delay, been a mad day here!! Tom has no temp, and vet couldn't feel anything, so gave him an anti-inflam jab and prescribed bland food - so I went and bought some chicken, as I didn't want him to have too much fish, and he has eaten some, but not really moved much. There is some very loose stools in the tray, but no more sickness yet. If no better by Thurs, we have to go back.

Hi Desley hope the handsome Tom is feeling better this evening and the visit to the vet went well xxx

Hope Tom isn't suffering from anything serious. Poor guy!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** February 20, 2007, 16:53:48 PM »

Oh dear poor Tom, hopefully he has just got a bug and it will clear up quick with some vet help

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2007, 13:25:29 PM »

Have popped home at lunch - he is now on the other side of the sofa, has eaten a very small amount. No signs of dehydration, no third eyelinds showing, but he obviously hasn't moved far, cos both Tiger and Molly have food left from their brekkie!! So, I am still worried, but a bit more hopeful.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #13 on:** February 20, 2007, 12:01:09 PM »

Vet app is at 5.20, both vets were really busy today!!

How is Tom? xx

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2007, 11:44:43 AM »

What news on Tom?

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2007, 11:41:33 AM »

Poor Tom - hope it's nothing serious. Hairballs can cause diarrhoea if they are big enough so fingers crossed it may be just that.

lizfraser · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2007, 10:38:12 AM »

How did Tom get on at the vets? Hope it's nothing too serious and he's feeling better soon.

Ellie · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:26:49 AM »

Hopefully he has just got a wee upset tummy and the vet can give him something to settle it xxxxx

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #7 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:19:58 AM »

I know. I am not sure it is a furball now - just gone to scoop the trays, and there is sort of diarrhea in the tray that only Tom uses. I left him downstairs last night, he didn't run up for his supper (which I was quite glad of in a way, as it meant he might not wake me up as early for more), but he has obviously been upstairs part of the night, been sick and then gone and hid behind the sofa. Wish my vets opened before 9am!!

Ellie · « **Reply #6 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:14:46 AM »

Poor Tom after all the upset he has been through bless him.

Hopefully it is a hairball. Let us know how he gets on at the vets xx

Dawn F · « **Reply #5 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:09:03 AM »

poor Tom, hope he gets better soon

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #4 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:07:56 AM »

Ellie, I thought it might be a hairball (although that was before I found the sick!!), but couldn't find the Katalax - as soon as I read your post, I found it, so have given him some. He still hasn't eaten much though, but he did have a lot of excess fur on his back, so I have given him a quick groom too.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #3 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:06:16 AM »

Fingers and paws crossed for Tom

Ellie · « **Reply #2 on:** February 20, 2007, 08:01:05 AM »

Oh Desley poor Tom

Do you think it might be a hairball?

I have everything crossed for this handsome boy and send him lots of love, cuddles and healing vibes xxxxx

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #1 on:** February 20, 2007, 07:44:46 AM »

Woke up this morning to no cats on the bed, which I thought slightly strange - there was still no sign of Tom by the time I had pressed the snooze button for half an hour and used the loo, so I was getting slightly worried. Then, I noticed he hadn't eaten all his supper, completely unheard of for Tom. Went downstairs, more worried now, and couldn't find him!! He had hid behind the sofa, and wasn't in any hurry to get out, so I made him, and he is just acting really quiet, didn't want to eat or anything. Went upstairs to feed the others, and found quite a bit of sick on teh landing, which must have come from him, so hopefully it is just cos he was sick, but it is still out of character for Tom, so am going to ring the vets as soon as they open to book him in. If my vets are full, he will have to go to the rescues vet. Please keep your fingers crossed it is nothing too serious.
