CG, you are one lucky SOB. $69 is peanuts compared to most of the vet bills I've had. I've been down the $2,000 road too.

Glad to hear he is going to be all right. My 12 year old Maine Coon cat started losing weight last year when we switched his food. I switched it back and he put some weight on and started losing fur on his back. I took him to the vet and he was diagnosed as a diabetic. So he gets 5cc's of insulin twice a day. His weight is back to normal, his coat is like it was when he was a couple of years old and he is not quite as lazy as he was.

Well worth it, and may times over. Yay!!!!!!!! Weellll I didn't see anyone diagnose or give that advise! |

Here is the best way to medicate a cat with a pill. Open can of tuna. Drain and save juice. If you do not like tuna, discard. Crush pill, mix in tuna juice. Suck tuna/medication up in the syringe. Grab cat on floor. Insert just the tip of syringe into the side of the cats mouth at it's rear most point. At the hinge so to speak. Depress syringe slowly, releasing liquid solution.
My cat gets daily meds and he actually "assumes the position" when I break out the tuna juice from the fridge. He loves it. |

good to hear your cat is going to be ok. here is a trick to giving a cat pills
1. put em between your legs on its back with his head near your lap 2. use your non pill hand to get the cats mouth open. press between its lips towards the back of its mouth and it will pop open and not be able to bite you. 3. time putting the pill at the back of its mouth. watch its tongue it will be working on getting its mouth closed. when the tongue is fully extended shoot the pill in and hold its mouth shut. the tongue will pull the pill half the way down and the kitty will do the rest hope your cat feels better soon. I like cats more than 99% of the people out there. Paper |

Quoted: He bit my finger when I had to shove the pill down this throat. Didnt like the surenge type thing down this throat for the liquid, either... I had to give my cat some pills for a while, forget it. I got a pill popper from the vet. It looks a bit like a syringe but it holds the pill in place as you put it in his mouth towards his throat and pops in the pill. Works great. No bite marks and the cat gets his meds. Check with the vet about it or a good pet store. A week with out it will suck and he will just spit up the meds since it had time to dissolve and has a bad taste. He will start foaming at the mouth and you will waste the medication. |

Sure, it could be nothing. But the cat could also have had intestinal bleeding and be dead now. That was why most of us told him to get him to the vet ASAP! STGar15, Fine, you look at cats as disposable. Some people DON'T. Even if you can't understand it, at least you can respect it. I myself have been down the $2000 dollar vet bill road and I don't regret it ONE DAMN BIT. CG, I'm very glad the cat is ok. |

Quoted: Quoted: I know I personally wouldn't appreciate this kind of post if I came here for help. -legrue What kind of help could he possibly be looking for on this site with that problem? Q: Cat bleeding profusely out of ass; is that a problem? A: Generally not that big of a deal. A: Stuff a sock in it. A: Do an emergency tracheotomy with a steak knife. Or my standard answer to any of Imbroglio's many problems - "Use a tampon to stop the bleeding." I don't know. If you were bleeding profusely out of your ass, would you think it was a problem? |
