Good morning John:

It's 8:42 AM - Dafni was on her pillow on the sofa.

Yesterday I drove about an hour away - found a pet food store that is fabulous - they carry ALL the top, top brands such as Wysong, Nature's Vitality, Innovva, etc.

I bought about 20 different cans, beef and lamb of each brand and a bag of the freeze dried raw Nature's Vitality.

Well, I she ate a little last night of the Nature's Vitality beef and a little bit of lamb from Wysong before I went to bed. She likes dry food so I hydrated the freeze dried stuff and chopped it up but no way - she said NO.

This morning I warmed up a little of the Nature's Vitality beef and thank god she ate some - I had to take the dish and hold it by her nose and she ate sitting down.

So, that's where it stands. I am doing affirmations and I know that she will turnaround and that this will all go away.

In the meantime, John, I cannot say she is eating a lot, not at all.... it is just some licks - this morning was better - she ate a bit more.

These foods are no grains and the closest to raw - my other two cats ate Wysong like they had never eaten in a year.

Be well - what do you think?

John:

As for the selenium I will have to look and see if any of the old foods have selinium and also check the brands I bought yesterday.

Don't know right now.

thanks

John: Is that Calcarea Carbonica 30C - if so, I can get it at the vitamin store in the area - I called to see if they had it .

She IS eating a bit more today - not much but asks more frequently and, is drinking more water - she was not drinking at all for a while.

Dear John:

It is 1 AM and I am about to go to bed - what a day. I thought I would post before going to bed because I do not know what part of the world you are in and I wanted you to get my post.

Dafni did pretty well today - she asked for food frequently - did not eat much but more than usual - at one point this evening the poor thing came over to me and sat by my feet and tapped me on the leg with her little paw which she always does when she wants something, usually food or "affection".

Well, I think I can safely say she does not like lamb which is OK - I did get the Calcarea Carbonica 30C today.

Well, late this evening she came down from her pillow and she was laying on the floor tapping her tail on the floor - anxiety. Then, about half an hour later she vomited greyish mucousy stuff in two spots on the carpet. So, she then went back to her pillow on the window perch -

I then mixed the two 30C pellets in the 10 tablespoons of filtered water, let them dissolve, then I "sucussed" the jar on the palm of my hand - and gave her the one teaspoon from the syringe - I think I must have gotten at least 80% or so into her mouth before she ripped my hand open.

Well, ever since then she has been curled up and sleeping, out like a lite. I hope it helps her.

By the way John, her BM's have been mostly very loose stool or mucous but, tonight she strained again but this time the stool was a bit more formed and not loose. Good sign - the vet said that the more she ate the better the BM's would be which makes sense.

The homepathic vet in florida also told me to be patient, continue the pepcid and contact him on Monday with her condition.

She has improved but that vomiting upset me - she had not vomited for days.

Her tummy is a little swollen from the mid half forward but not like it was. And, of course she has been eating which she had not done for many days when she first became ill.

what do you think John?

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your friendship and support in this matter - next to family, knowing caring people in your life is such god send, even IF they are strangers.

Thank you and good night.

Good morning John:

Hope you are well - I had severe high blood pressure problems last night and with everything happening at once I felt like blowing my head off - I am dealing with many health issues of my own and it upsets me to think I may not be able to give my all to my girls, especially Dafni.

OK, I read your post but I'm a little confused.

Actually, it was my mistake when I said there was a "pencil hard" spot - there is NO OBSTRUCTION - and NO HARD SPOT, but, rather, "a thickening of the walls of the small intestine and part of the larger intestine" which shows up on xray almost as aclosing ////....

OK, I fed everyone, opened a new can of INNOVVA (great food) for Danfi and she said NO. She is on her pillow in the window. Has not eaten a thing - went to the litter box, strained, and nothing came out.

The reason we have been giving the Pepcid AC is because at the vet's office the vet gave her a Pepcid "shot" and it appeared to have helped her that is why we have continued with it for now. Also, there was that "gas pocket" in the xrays.

Should I continue the Beneful (fiber powder) or are you suggesting to replace it with mineral oil. And what kind of mineral oil do I get John - at the health food store?

Also, there is a Vitamin Shoppe not too far away and they have Boiron remedies and I have quite a few at home.

So, can you clearly clarify what you want me to do. I got a little confused.

Mineral Oil every 3 hours - 1/2 teaspoon and, INCLUDING the posphorous?

She has not eaten and when you go to touch her she "murmurs" like a little "moan" in cat speech.



Thanks John, ever so much.

John: I have been reading that mineral oil is no good for cats - it is not natural and the body will continue to get rid of the substance and irritate.

Is this so?

Also, am confused as to what you are recommending in the remedy form. She has not eaten a thing today even though she indicates she wants food, she says NO to everything I put in front of her. Geez, what a problem.

Not going to the litter box as much as before but still straining - but today nothing is coming out and she has not eaten a thing all day long except for a few licks of Innova.

She wants food because she keeps asking for it but no matter what I give her she says NO!!

As for the drinking I think it has lessened a tiny bit since the Cal Carb - she wants the dry food but today is not eating at all.

I will limit my food offers to Innova (which is chicken/turkey) and Wysong Beef.

Am concerned - I do not want to result in taking to hospital John, for a biopsy. In the meantime my damned blood pressure is high and all I have is one drug, the ace inhibitor which is doing nothing.

I was thinking of giving her a diluted 1/4 tsp. of the Benful fiber in a syringe about one teaspoon full. What do you think?

Not drinking much John - she keeps coming over to me and asking for food but turns away from everything!!

God, I must have at least 8 or 9 different flavors - I don't know what she wants - she just went to the litter box - strained and nothing came out - I checked her behind and it is totally dry.

She keeps looking at me but am at a loss as to what to do. I will try the flaxseed oil - I have a fresh bottle - how much to use?

John, I have a glass dropper with measurements for the kitties - all you want is ONE DROP?

John:

What do you mean "eto puls"

Oh John:

God, I never gave it - i passed out for a while and forgot about it - instead I gave her several doses of arsenicum Album during the evening - she has not eaten or had water for two days now.

Today, for the first time since she last vomited on Friday night, she vomited this afternoon.

This time the vomit was as usual mucousy but "orange-green" in color - a bit more orange. Very strange color.

I tried putting water in her mouth with dropper but she is impossible to treat.

There is no more puffines to her tummy, just flat and hanging. She tried the litter box a number of times today but nothing - but one time when I wiped her hinney it was a little moist with lite brown substance.

I am desperate John.
