18 y/o cat slight stroke. Don’t want to put down
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Two weeks ago my cat of 18 yrs suffered a slight stroke. She was down for two days and then came around and she is doing better.
Now I’m worried again. Her belly is swelling up and she does not seem in pain but she eats twice a day and drinks a lot of water and she voids a lot too.
Her bowels are moving as well. I don’t want to take her to our vet for fear he will say put her down. I can’t do that. I believe God gives life and he will take her when it’s time.
Can you suggest anything?
Seeking internal medicine vet for cat with GI probs.
Monday, April 6th, 2009Seeking an internal medicine vet for a cat with GI PROBLEMS (Gut Dysbiosis?),e.g., multiple large bowel movements,soft,progres- sing to loose stools and diarrhea.
Vet claims she cannot tolerate processed foood,e.g., canned cat foods. He recommends raw or cooked chicken for 3-4 weeks to rule out allergy. Difficult for me to manage. Have 4 cats.
Also giving her probiotic daily (2x, ideally).
I have IBS with diarrhea intermittently. Am wondering if I am being contaminated by handling stools or if we both are being contaminated by raw meat (or cooked) left too long in refrigerator. Cannot afford vet visits. Have taken her to 2 other vets last yr. They did not address this issue or that of copious amounts of urine. Blood sugar level sometimes somewhat elevated. Vet not concerned. She was obese but has lost unexplained wt over several months.
Current wt is 12 lbs. 11 yrs. old. Tested positive for bartinella bacteria in Jan/Feb,2009. Giving doxycycline, 2nd round.
GI problems, wt loss, and copius urine present prior to Antibiotic. Inflammed gums for 10.5 yrs. 10-12 teeth lost. Have had cleaning 2-3 times.
Pls answer ASAP.
