He has not ate in 24hours apart from the syringe feed but he is eating water on his own. (Strange cat) he wont eat any liquid based food his own. The vet said as long as he is hydrated to keep trying with food. I have been giving him liquidiated cat food bit going to try kitten milk formula for when a kitten needs human help. I was told it tastes nice for the cat and he will be more willing to try. The trouble at the moment is that any special type food needs me to order online and can take a few days so it konda hard to be waiting on it when i need it now. We have a pets at home in the next town but its a sunday and hard to get to bit i cab get there tomorrow. Poor man is much brighter, purring and trying to clean himself but he isnt brave nothing to actually lick anything. I think its his throat thats hurting him to get food passed. Je has stopped hiding and wants to go outside. He is also sitting at the bowl for food but he seems lick it twice and give up. At least his spirit has picked up and he is trying. Xxxx

Licky has had a few more bites to eat so just going to give small but offer
 The vet said he was hydrated and to keep with the wet food and water bowl. At present he is asleep under the bed. Haha

Watch the dehydration because to get back he may need to go on a drip especially if her doesnt eat or drink and the weather warms up  :hug: :hug:

I would warm his food for 10 seconds in the microwave it seems to work especially on fish varieties and if you can get hold of some Complivet food supplement as 2 pumps of that is equal to a full days calories and mine love it

His kidneys are good, bit of sugar in his wee but nothing to worry about. He is in good health apart from loss of weight. He has had a shot of pain killers as he has sore teeth. Took his bloods and get results on Tuesday. Said to keep offering food and got some sachets to help with dehyration and supplement fed if he is not willing to eat much. My poor boy. Xxxx

Yes it can grow back I have Max whose did and also he became intolerant to Vitalda and is now on Felimozile

Thank you. I think this is the case with my Licky. He is showing thyoidism symptoms again and he has Vitalda tablets at present. Going the vets this afternoon and he will get his bloods done again. I was worried if could be kidney trouble as some symptoms are the same but he went the vets two weeks ago and she said his were great
 But she didnt do his bloods which annoyed me, so now i will cause a fuss. Poor man. He turned 16 on weds so any changes are noticed.

fingers crossed

Quick thyroid advice!

Need some quick advice.

my licky has thyroid issues and been stable for a year. Is it possible for his thyroid to grow and therefore make him unstable again or am i looking at signs of kidney failure. He is going vets tomorrow but i am stressing out and thinking the worst. Xx
