Have you a crystal ball by any chance who said Teddie is suffering? You have said that we are not vets and therefore shouldn't give our opinions if thats the case why should your opinion be any different; unless you are a qualified vet and have access to Teddies case history and Teddie then may I ask how you know the case is hopeless????? On here we support one another though good times and bad as well as the bits inbetween - if you are willing to do that then welcome if not then maybe you should find somewhere else. We are in essence a family - we may have different points of view on many and varied subjects, yet in the love and care of our cats we are truely united. If you stay around you'll see what I mean.

She is doing quite well this morning (I got woken by her yowls at 6.45 this morning, demanding to be fed). Very lively today. Hadn't done anything on the floor this morning and hasn't been to the litter tray yet either. She LOVES the fish though, lol. The paste arrived this morning too Fran (((hugs))), so that was straight down her neck, luckily she loves that too. So we will have to see how she goes for the rest of the day. |

Crikey, I've just spent the last hour reading through this thread from start to finish! Now as you've all been so supportive to me through my very recent trauma, I might be able offer a little hope here. I had a kitten years ago who was indeed 'the runt of the litter', which is why no one else wanted her of course! She too had constant diarrheoa, and many different treatments were tried. I know exactly what you mean about it running down her legs and all over you/the furniture! I went through 3 vets trying to get her better - and get a firm diagnosis (which I never got), and was getting to the stage where I really thought I'd have to sadly let her go. Eventually, as a last resort, the vet suggested the invalid diet (which we had tried before of course), but this time keep her on it and nothing else for a long time. This we did - the frozen minced fish and boiled chicken - and slowly, slowly she got better and stronger. It did take 3-4 months I'm afraid, but by the time she was 7 months old, we gradually introduced a more normal diet, and she was fine from thereon in. She lived a long and happy life with us with no further problems, until she died at 17, an age we never thought she'd see when we first got her. So don't give up Alex. At the end of the day you know whether she is suffering or not, and I sometimes think these things are much more distressing for us than the cat themselves. Hope this helps a bit, and good luck to you and Teddy (I had a female Teddy too!). Sammy.x |

Sammy, thank you so much for posting this, I'm sure it will give Alex a lot of encouragement in continuing her battle with Teddie's tum. It will also give her a boost to read of someone else who has gone through the same problem.....and come out the other side problem free  Thanks again! |
