Hi all I gotta admit it is so frustrating/scarey/disheartning when they won't eat. I recently lost my old cat when he stopped eating and all the science in the world couldn't help him. Lets not even talk about money here! SpidersMommy, it sounds like he has a viral infection to me (although I'm not an expert). Keep up with the vet's advice and also keep him hydrated. You may may need to force feed him, but I would get more advice from your vet on this so they can teach you how. Its good news that his system is otherwise ok. Good luck to everyone. IP: Logged |

Thank You GreyPaw My cat started Eating a little bit on Friday and a Little More Today which makes me Happy. He does have a little Diareah now. Has anyone used BAYTRIL (Anti Biodic) on their cat?? I notice after I give him the Pill he tends to get a bit Mushy and sleepy, I wonder if anyone knows if this is normal? Also I have not seen him drink any water, I have not had to administer any fluids for 2 days as I see is still hydrated. Any Help on Baytril (68mg.) Side Effects will be helpful. Thank You IP: Logged |

Hi SpidersMommy The name Baytril sounds familar but I can't say for certain that I've used it on my cats. I have used several different types lately and one in particular knocked my cat out into drowsyness for the first day. I think its a case of antibiotics can knock you back a bit - they are pretty harsh sometimes (same for us and cats), but they are still wonder drugs sometimes. Keep up the good work, its good news he has eaten something! Greypaw IP: Logged |

Hi Greypaw My Cat is actually back to himself as of today, he is eating, drinking, playing and doing all his normal things, I am so happy!! Today was the first day in 5 days that I can see my Cat is acting himself, I hope he remains this way and I hope all he had was a viral infection, Thanks for your advise and I will keep posting how he is doing.
