shes been dropped off- apparently her back teeth are in a bad way but she cant have them done yet till we know whats up with her. Im hoping its just her teeth , if it is then it would all be a lot simpler

near disaster on way- some idiot (read child

) has pulled one of back clips off carrier so it kept opening up

thankfully mo is so docile it wasnt in her plan to escape on bus or near the roads, nearly had a nervous breakdown though

thanks for good vibes all

tommorrow Gill

mo has had a bath and been degunked for the night and cant have anything now till they have seen her. i tell you something though she looked a lot bigger in the bath

I need to take a pic next time as cant believe the difference

sheila i will ask before shes seen about the glasgow test...... as read about it due to all this

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #124 on:** December 14, 2011, 17:21:00 PM »

Any news?

AliCat · « **Reply #123 on:** December 14, 2011, 13:18:53 PM »

Keeping my fingers crossed for little Mo!

sheilarose · « **Reply #122 on:** December 13, 2011, 18:09:33 PM »

The Glasgow test is much more reliable than the Elisa test they can do in-house. Whatever the result in-house, definitely ask for this (it's not too expensive but is fairly conclusive).

This is the one test you really want to know the result of as it affects whether she can socialise with other cats, or needs to be separated in everyone's best interests. If it's FIV, not really a problem. If it's FeLV, it's a problem. If it's neither we'll all be round yours for a bottle of bubbly. Good luck for Thursday

i asked girl on phone but she seemed clueless tbh, she said it depends on what tests he decides on, i imagine its inhouse although i will ask for glasgow test if they are willing?
shes having an ultrasound for kidneys , god knows what else

i have to collect her in the afternoon -she said mo will be in for the day

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #120 on:** December 13, 2011, 13:07:10 PM »

Fingers crossed for Thursday Jo. When are results likely? Are they sending tests away or is it in house?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #119 on:** December 13, 2011, 12:43:54 PM »

Sod's law! But at least Mo has eaten - what a good girl!

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #118 on:** December 13, 2011, 12:31:28 PM »

thanks

I give up on my cats today- they meowed for food, gave them dry and wet (in gravy how they like it

), cat milk and water and they turned up their noses....

they are getting too used to having cooked chicken etc in the evenings i think so obviously have started expecting a bit more than what they are used to

only Mo has actually eaten today!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #117 on:** December 13, 2011, 11:17:59 AM »

Me also keeping everything crossed for little Mo, bless her.

Mac does that with any food he's suspicious of - prawns, pork, sossuj - he eats it eventually (usually) but not before he's beaten it halfway round the room for good measure......

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #116 on:** December 13, 2011, 11:08:10 AM »

Sending all the best wishes possible for little Mo on Thursday

My lot hated wet food too LOL

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #115 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:48:44 AM »

Mo is booked in on thurs morning for tests ultrasound etc..they said she will be in for the day

really really dreading it now but i guess i will know for sure whats going on with little miss mo at last.
Mo on the other hand was meowing for the first time this morning in her room so shes finally making demands and started the leg rubbing with her head on my ankles, the first cat like behaviour shes actually shown

I did try all the cats with some raw chicken liver yesterday.....
mo bit it then ran around with a lump attached to side of mouth till she dropped it...

Georgia took one look and ran off petrified

Miyagi batted it about with his paws like it was alive and gave it a few licks

result...dont think raw food is the answer for my cats

Liz · « **Reply #114 on:** December 05, 2011, 11:26:04 AM »

To help with weight gain have you thought about kitten food as its higher in calories and I am feeding an extra sachet to my Hyper T boy and have used it on both old and young cats when they have mouth issues in fact blitzed up it is so much easier to eat with no lumps of food its sort of like Pate

The cat milk is great for adding calories and we use that as well there are also things like Liquivite which is a high calorie food and we used it with our old ferals with success

As long as she is putting on weight and eating little and often then she is going the right way

Jiji · « **Reply #113 on:** December 05, 2011, 07:49:46 AM »

I agree with Sue P, you needed her to gain weight before her mouth could be sorted and you are achieving that, you are giving her the best chance for the best possible outcome and no one can do more than that

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #112 on:** December 05, 2011, 07:13:12 AM »

One step at a time. Keeping all crossed the vet can begin to sort out the mess that is her poor mouth. She's such a sweetie to you, bless her.

bunglycat · « **Reply #111 on:** December 05, 2011, 00:25:32 AM »

Poor baby, hope the vet can sort her out

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #110 on:** December 04, 2011, 23:25:53 PM »

Just so sad and hope the vet can help her

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #109 on:** December 04, 2011, 23:21:12 PM »

thxs rosella

i know its good that her weights going up but i just worry its not enough, dreading the vets as if its bad news i dont think i can cope...i dont want to have to think about the dreaded pts...... I just dont know whats going on with her mouth, can she live on constant anti biotics etc? it obviously hurts as she hates me going near her mouth though bless her shes soo sweet that when shes had enough she looks me in my eyes and pushes my face gently with her paws as if to say thats enough now please....i cant bear when she does that, id rather her bite my finger

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #108 on:** December 04, 2011, 23:16:14 PM »

yeah its not something you hope to deal with in a cat so young

its not looking good really as would expect some imporvement but the mouth stuff is just awfull, her breath stinks and i have to keep wiping it off as it just clogs up her chin then gets over her whiskers and paws. i had 3 big patches on my jeans after she has slept on me

poor gild cant be happy

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #107 on:** December 04, 2011, 23:11:48 PM »

She has doubled her weight since she arrived Jo which is fabulous in my book

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #106 on:** December 04, 2011, 22:58:38 PM »

Do hope she is OK and I have that problem with Ducha eating but he is seriously older

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #105 on:** December 04, 2011, 22:56:46 PM »

hi all

back from my jollys

I weighed Mo and shes 2.4 kgs so not really put on much at all but at least its a slow increase. I have also been observing her food habits and she needs you to sit with her and watch her eat...otherwise she leaves it so going to monitor it over the next few days, shes eaten a tray of sheba? and a carton of milk today along with water plus some chicken so she is eating..but if i sit with her and show her the food on my fingers first.
her mouth is still gunky so thats not changed at all

her fur is growing well and her eyes look a lot better ..will arrange a vets visit this week so hope to see whats going on then with her, she did give me a lovely cuddle today and sat on my knee for about an hour

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #104 on:** November 25, 2011, 20:04:56 PM »

So pleased that things are going in the right direction and sound like Mo will be in great hands while you are away.

Enjoy your break

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #103 on:** November 25, 2011, 07:51:26 AM »

Hope you enjoy your break Jo. Sounds like Mo will be in a very capable pair of hands whilst you're away.

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #102 on:** November 25, 2011, 07:49:36 AM »

thanks-

mo has put on a bit more weight but not much.. its going up though so its progress

I am going away today for a week to a mad cat hotel in fuerteventura so my daughter is looking after mo - shes doing a level 3 advanced diploma in animal care at college and gets to work with animals at college and at the nature centre on fridays where she does her placement so shes good with learning about nutrition etc and she is good with our cats as her cat Georgia is a pampered princess

so already a mad catgirl

its not the best time to be going away but booked it earlier this year as i am taking my younger son phoenix aged 5 and daughter blossom aged 7 away due to the fact all the others went away to devon in the summer to their nans but Phe and bloss didnt get to go.
Im happy though that Mo is confident with Willow so hoping she doesnt notice too much of a change and willow is on strict instructions to give mo lots of cuddle time too

I will contact insurance when i come back.
Oh i phoned my vets and the vets named by woman had No record of Mo

jo xx

AliCat · « **Reply #101 on:** November 23, 2011, 17:04:19 PM »

Big hugs for little Mo.

Glad to hear she's making some progress.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #100 on:** November 23, 2011, 16:27:53 PM »

I think that all insurance is now playing games to give themselves a get out and AXA for example ask for a copy of the vet records on the first claim........gives me a problem with Lupins tummy maybe.

AXA or petplan are the best but AXA cheaper with a set excess. Pedigreees are more expensive to insure and I think your problem is going to be that Mo has seen a vet and was in very bad condition so anything could be wrong with her and thats more or less recorded by your vet.

It may be worth talking to AXA but think you are on a slippery slope with them due to her initial condition and they dont payout for anything in first 14 days after insurance starrts as well.

It maybe worth putting up a general post asking for info about how other insurances work but Know they are more expensive on the whole and with worse cover than AXA.

On the whole AXA is fair but her smelly mouth may also be down to other problems like kidneys.

However after only being with you for two week, she is doing really well.

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #99 on:** November 23, 2011, 13:50:31 PM »

well her mouth is still stinking and although better than it was its still not better, she has been here two weeks tonight

Ive been looking at pet insurance but if you get an online quote they dont give you bits to put in her mouth infection etc, I was thinking it may be best to sort some out asap if there is some that would cover her if she gets seriously ill..
i dont want to just take out a policy that state vaguely that she has a pre existing condition and no box to say what they are

i think she must have put on weight though as when i carry her on my shoulder she actually now has a bit of weight to her, before it was like lifting a mongolian scatter cushion

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #98 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:34:11 AM »

Hope all is going well with Mo

I just weighed our Boris and, at only 7 months old, he is already 3.6kgs. It puts Mo's weight into perspective and shows she has some way to go yet but steady improvement is a very good sign

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #97 on:** November 21, 2011, 01:20:19 AM »

Probably best to wait for weighing at the vets cos all scales tend to be different.

She sounds such a good girl and so pleased you are able to spend time with her somewhere else cos as long as your other cats arent in same room she should be no danger to them.

Come on Mo, you are doing so well

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #96 on:** November 20, 2011, 23:17:05 PM »

thxs rosella

, didnt weigh her in end as daughter watching bloomin jungle program so couldnt get it set up on wii, i think i need to buy a new set of scales- i must have reverse hoarding syndrome as i have "do's" when stressed and shot stuff out

Mo is a good girl bless her-shes desperate to get out of that bathroom though

i do sometimes sit her in my room with me to watch tv and a stroke as dont want her getting distressed on her own so she now has a nice black satin throw with diamontes on it that shes knicked

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #95 on:** November 20, 2011, 22:42:55 PM »

This young lady is in my thoughts very much and how good of her to be well behaved in the bath

I'm sure you'll find you are comparing weights with Mr M and Georgia and coming up with untrue weight loss for Mo.

At least I very much hope so

. I've worried myself unnecessarily that way in the past

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #94 on:** November 20, 2011, 17:58:18 PM »

i just bathed her so will weigh her soon, oddly shes perfectly behaved in bath

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #93 on:** November 20, 2011, 15:22:09 PM »

It does sound like the real Mo is coming out LOL

I do hope she has not lost weight

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #92 on:** November 20, 2011, 11:31:45 AM »

no i havent ordered the stuff yet, will do on weds when i get some more money

mo has turned a bit savage trying to nip when i clean her face now, she never actually does but makes a show of it

she still has gunk but a lot less so think she may be feeling a bit more lively as before she never opened her mouth.
im sure she feels skinny again though but wonder if its because i have been giving miyagi and georgia more fuss? i will try to weigh her later on the wii if i can as threw my scales out last week..not sure why, i was having a mental through out anything not obviously working

bunglycat · « **Reply #91 on:** November 18, 2011, 16:23:00 PM »

Glad to hear Mo is doing well

If she has kidney probs can she go on Fortekor?
Did you try the Aviproplus?
I got mine from pet sense direct ,they are really nice people and it's only £8.50 delivered.
