Eyes are a good indicator aren't they. Big Fooze was ages before his nictating membrane cleared. Thank God his eyes are now a beautiful clear blue. Do you think Bovril has a sore throat? Maybe an old injury in his jaw is hurting him. It is so difficult, I suppose you just have to keep eliminating things. At least he is warm and comfortable with a good Mum. Hope things improve for him. |

Hi, sorry, Bovril's vet visit went well. He hasn't put on any weight but is looking so much better, the vet said when he saw him the first time he was expecting to PTS soon but now he feels Bovril has a chance. He got a steroid injection to see if it would help the wheeziness and it has, good new is this means it's not his heart but some kind of inflammation. He's also been eating food without having to get it blended, I'm not sure if this means he has something like asthma, i'll see the vet again today to discuss. He's not really keen on the y/d thyroid food but I'll get some more tins and see how he goes. Thanks for asking  |

So glad Bovril is on the mend. Must be a big relief. Could you mix something with his food to make it smell appetising. I've found that specialist food is sometimes very bland, a bit like complan for us. |

You can't feed anything other than y/d food for it to work. I think I'm right in saying it has no iodine in it, but you cannot add anything as it will contain iodine, making the diet ineffective. |

Thanks Farthing, I will store that away for future reference. Learn some very useful things on this site. |

A quick update on Bovril. He is not too keen on the Y/D food and to be honest getting him to take something is more important. He is much better after a steroid injection, I suspect an issue like asthma, so he is now on steroid tablets. I'm not a believer on having cats on steroids but sometimes we have no choice and they will stimulate his appetite. He is starting on steroid tablets so hopefully this will help, as he is off his food again. I have tried I/d, a/d, Lily's kitchen, Sheba..... You name it and we have tried it. Once we see how he goes with the steroids, we will decide what to do about his thyroid. I'm wondering if we have a go with the vidalta again once we get this 'issue' under control. He's such a lovely, tolerant boy. I just want him to know what a loving home is! |
