Title: Delphi is losing weight - Please send healing vibes
Post by: Philip on October 09, 2009, 13:09:31 PM: My rescue ragdoll has lost a lot of weight and I'm not sure why.

She is eating, but I'm not sure its enough for her needs. She is also still playfull and isn't hiding away so doesn't appear unwell as such.

Taking her to the vets tomorrow.

Please send her healing vibes and purrs.

Thanks.

Title: Re: Delphi is losing weight - Please send healing vibes
Post by: Philip on October 09, 2009, 22:57:57 PM: She hadn't eaten all day so I took her to the vets late this afternoon.

She has lost over a kilo in weight which my vet said is worrying.

But she cant find any definite cause.

So she's on antibiotics and I'm syringe feeding her.

If she's no better after the weekend, going to take her back for bloods and further investigation.

She's got runny number 2's tonight.

Poor thing.

I'm not sure how old she is, but I'm guessing around 12 years of age.

Am hoping the antibiotics might start to make her feel better tomorrow.

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on October 11, 2009, 10:17:37 AM: Fingers crossed the meds help, but surprised the vet didn't want to do bloods with her age.

Title: Re: Delphi is losing weight - Please send healing vibes
Post by: Philip on October 12, 2009, 22:03:33 PM: I have some positive news in the fact that Delphi is eating more since 2 days ago. She has just polished off a bowl of line caught cod so thats good.

I think she is a little better at the moment. Would like her to gain some weight though.

;D
