Gillian Ambercat is your lady!
-
ok thankyou :)
-
My Bengals eat raw meat as well as Orijen (grain free) biscuits. I get the raw from a company called Back To Nature and it contains everything they need.
How are your babies today Lisa?
-
rosie still wont eat and portia is still bad :( vets on weds morning
-
poor babies - I hope you can get them sorted soon
-
and me portia was just dripping yellow poo this morning but she has just had some chicken and gone back to sleep :Luv:
-
I've pm'd you Lisa. :) I use Back to Nature meats that Sheryl mentioned too.
-
Lacto B did wonders when my Bengals had "Bengly Bum" when they were babies. :sick:
-
I have just got back from the school run and before i went portia had some chicken and when i came back she had had a b.it of runs but it had completely changed to a darker colour from this morning since she had her wet pouch of whiskers . I have just given her some scrabbled egg which she has ate loads of it and i will see what happens now
Im really thinking her problem is her stomache cannot tolerate cat food but she is still going vets on weds :)
-
I know it is very frustrating but by changing her food all the time you could make her tum worse - it can take up to a week on one food before you might see a positive improvement. Whiskas is very rich, tbh until you have seen the vet I would keep her on a bland food (chicken or white fish) you might find that the vet will put her on a prescription diet for a while.
Just a thought - has she been wormed with a vet quality woring tablet?
How long has Rosie gone without eating? Is she drinking okay?
-
my bengal had a terrible tummy when I first got her, she was put on royal canin sensible 33 by the vet and it went away
-
Its been three days since rosie last ate and i have just had to syrindge water in her mouth cause she aint drinking either but she was gaging when i did that aswell :( oh and portia was last wormed at the previous owners vets in may
-
I dont want to worry you Lisa but if Rosie hasnt eaten for 3 days and is not drinking she really needs to see a vet before Wednesday. If your vets cant fit you in try and see another one.
-
i have to go to the pdsa due to finacial probs :-[ please dont judge me and also no transport my mum is taking me wednesday . I feel bad now :'(
-
sorry but I've lost track of your furbies - is Rosie a kitten?
-
Oh Lisa Hun, please dont think I am judging you - it can be very dangerous for a cat not to eat and drink. I know you are doing all you can for your babies xxx
Dawn - Lisa has another rescue cat called Rosie, I think she's about 3?
-
Thankyou Sheryl :)
-
nobody here will judge you for using the pdsa - maybe you could phone them for some advice?
-
I have spoke to them this morning and they seem to think they will be ok till weds :scared:
-
You could try to warm some "smelly" food up for Rosie (sometimes the smell tempts them to eat) such as pilchards or sardines.
Did you get Rosie from a rescue centre because if you did they could maybe help with the vets bill?
-
I have tried to tempt rosie with allsorts , i even sat on my daughters bed with her for hour an hour with chicken but she was just licking it , She keeps sniffing her food in her bowl and the water but she wont drink or eat . I tried her with tuna yesterday , but i have noticed she keeps gagging like she is gonna be sick .... im thinking she maybe has something in her throat because when i was syringing water in her mouth she was gaging then too :(
no rosie was from a lady who was gonna have a baby and couldn't keep her
gosh u lot must be sick of me and my poorly furbies roll on weds :'(
-
Not sick of you at all Hun - thats what we are all here for to offer advice when possible and support. :hug:
-
Thankyou Sheryl :hug:
-
If you cant get rosie seen can you get to any vet and pick up some food to called a/d? Its tempting for ill cats and can be carefully syringed. Its really really important something goes in her.
Is she moving around and using the tray?
With the raw feeding id suggest not to attempt anything until they are both eating and toileting normally
-
yes she is moving around and she has had some water now which she come down for herself :)
