So glad I took him to the vet when I did as am sure it would have turned nasty

It's so true, this. Like you I recently took Blip to the vet wondering if I was being neurotic - OH thought so - and thank goodness I did! They give us the smallest signals and it is so important to trust our instincts on their behalf

Den · « **Reply #65 on:** October 11, 2008, 17:44:04 PM »

WOOHOOOOOO I'm so glad he seems on the mend.

It must have been that kitbit that I gave him yesterday

Thanks

He is sleeping at the moment but generally a lot brighter.

So glad I took him to the vet when I did as am sure it would have turned nasty

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #63 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:31:49 AM »

Obviously on the mend then

Must be feeling better if he is running away from the pill

Alison so sorry I missed this thread until now ... pleased to hear Archie is feeling a bit brighter and fingers crossed he will be back to his old self very soon

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #60 on:** October 10, 2008, 23:51:30 PM »

Thank you Leanne.

I am on the laptop and not very good with it. The computer is
for repair

Archie was very quiet for most of the day but is a bit livlier this evening.He is now running away when he sees us coming with his pill.

Leanne · « **Reply #59 on:** October 10, 2008, 14:01:36 PM »

Aww poor Archie, how is he feeling today?

Like Maddiesmum said said earlier Jess is on Zylkene for stress and its brought quite remarkable changes in my little man.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #58 on:** October 10, 2008, 11:45:12 AM »

Pleased to hear Archie is feeling a little better and hope he continues to improve

clarenmax · « **Reply #57 on:** October 10, 2008, 10:49:37 AM »

I'm sure he will hun

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #56 on:** October 10, 2008, 10:24:20 AM »

Thank you Clare he is a bit more active today but still not 100%. Hoping he will pick up when his finished his tablets.

clarenmax · « **Reply #55 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:16:00 AM »

Hope Archie had a nice snooze last night, and is feeling a bit perkier today

Thank you everyone

Archie has had a very quiet day but is a bit brighter this evening.

Millys Mum have thought about another tray but now you have mentioned it I will set another up for Parki

Den Archie would love a visit

ChrisB · « **Reply #53 on:** October 09, 2008, 20:18:18 PM »

Alison, hoping that Archie is feeling a bit brighter now.

She has also started using Archies litter tray for some reason. She has toileted outside for the whole of her 8 years.

Beginning to wonder if her presence is upsetting Archie

Sorry if you already done so but an extra tray or 2 may help, Parki probably cant believe her luck a home with an indoor loo. Probably shows she settled herself in well tho!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #51 on:** October 09, 2008, 19:52:20 PM »

I hope Archie starts feeling his normal self soon Alison

Den · « **Reply #50 on:** October 09, 2008, 19:49:36 PM »

That's it I'm coming to see Archie

(if he's available to be seen of course!!)

Poor Archie though being upset

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #49 on:** October 09, 2008, 17:07:05 PM »

No I rarely see her now. She is such a sweetheart but a tiger with the others

I think there is something else upsetting Archie

He really does not like Parki who has all but moved in. He will often take a swipe at her whereas he loves Fluffy.
Parki is so so sweet but quite honestly the dimmest cat I have ever seen, bless her. Although she is a large lady the others just dont like her and will growl and swipe at her.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #44 on:** October 09, 2008, 13:07:33 PM »

Thank you shecat and Maddiesmum

Archie is still quite quiet but eating well and taking his tablets. There have been no further signs of blood.

Will definatly give the fibre a go

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #43 on:** October 09, 2008, 11:40:51 AM »

Hope Archie is feeling better today

shecat · « **Reply #42 on:** October 09, 2008, 11:33:36 AM »

Hi, Hows Archie today,

think Christine could be right. When I had my first episode I ended up in hospital. Antibiotics were great, but even after recovery you feel exhausted so that could be why Archie is quiet. Also I never liked cereal but since this has started I have cravings for Shreddied Wheat.Nothing sweet. I am now a 4 a day shreddy person. So bit of fibre could help.

Luv

She

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #41 on:** October 08, 2008, 16:47:53 PM »

Thank you Christine, I will mention it to the vet when I take him back.

He has not lost any blood today which is wonderful. Although quiet he is eating.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #40 on:** October 08, 2008, 16:37:49 PM »

How's Archie this afternoon?

I wonder if a little extra fibre in his diet might help him? As you know, I'm sensitive to this sort of complaint at the moment because of Blip's blocked anal glands: I'm trying to get her to take a little Nutrifyba every day as the vet has advised us to increase her dietary fibre. Perhaps worth asking your vet whether that might help alleviate any such symptoms in future, if nothing else?

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #39 on:** October 08, 2008, 14:34:05 PM »

Thank you She and Maddiesmum.

She thanks also for the info which is very helpful

shecat · « **Reply #38 on:** October 08, 2008, 12:34:06 PM »

Hi,

As a Human suffering from the same kind of problem, I can probably put it into some kind of order for you.

Colitus, Diveticulistus (sp) which I have, irritable bowel syndrome and there is another. All give similar symptoms and are all where different parts of the iintestine flair up . Stress is the main cause and I control mine by diet, the daft thing is I can eat spicy curries but cant eat beef burgers but for me fruit and veg are great (so tell that to the cat). I do have to have tablets occasionaly . but if I get stressed my stomach everything goes into spasms and its not nice. So basically find out what he can eat, it may not be the most expensive, or best health food just what he can eat, and try and keep him calm. The first problem is the worst and once you know just watch out for it. It is not life threatening but I can tell you it is very painful. he may not have another problem with this again but again he may, but he will be fine.

luv

She

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #37 on:** October 08, 2008, 09:32:24 AM »

Hope things are good for Archie today

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #36 on:** October 08, 2008, 09:28:15 AM »

Thanks Clare and Liz

I have given Archie his first antibiotic and he ate his breakfast. He is now settling down for a snooze and all signs are looking promising. Just have to keep an eye on his litter tray.

clarenmax · « **Reply #35 on:** October 08, 2008, 09:09:05 AM »

How's Archie doing this morning?
