Av, your recuperating kitty is named Penny, right? If not, she's whom I'm referring to...

Is Penny agreeable to being carried outside and back in without struggling? If so, maybe she would enjoy something like this while she recuperates, since you can't build a catio.

Nah, it's Harley, Penny's sister. And not much news...recovery from the surgery is going well, but she still won't eat, so now they've got a feeding tube in and just hoping she starts eating on her own.

Do try rubbing her mouth with fish oil or her fave treat. Sometimes they need a little reminder of what stuff tastes like

In remembrance of all who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Happy Memorial Day!

Not to step on your vet's toes or anything, but have they tried cyproheptadine? You can get a compounded version that's a cream that gets rubbed on their ears so you don't need to worry about more pills/injections. Min is on it as an appetite stimulant because she's on chemo, and it seems to work. Ditto prednisolone, though that has more potential side effects.

Yeah, dunno the name but they said they had her on an appetite stimulant. (@Sky, tried that when she was home.) Apparently she's tolerating the feeding tube fairly well, and is picking up a bit of weight. Surgery recovery is very good. Am hoping that as she heals from that she will be more likely to eat, vet says nothing we can do really now except be patient.

I went through that with Min when she had her whole health ordeal, and she was okay, but it was nerve-wracking. I even went across town to the only pharmacy that compounded meds into cat-friendly flavored pills, and came home to find that they'd given me cherry-flavored Prednisone instead of fish. Min isn't a fan of cherry.

Haha good grief lol

Glad to hear Harley is putting on weight. Heres hoping shes on her way to returning home, to her usual life and diet.

yeah I've basically just been lurkin around to hear news of Harley! lol

Post by **Avatar** » Thu May 28, 2020 5:30 am

Haha, well at least there's a bright side if it's bringing you round.

Anyway, same same so far. No doubt they'll call me soon with an update, but right now it's just a waiting game.

Good, better than yestueday!

Zyuanok, putting links in forum signatures hasn't worked since before 2012.

Anyway, some good news on my side for a change.

Harley has started eating by herself finally, not much at the moment, but so far fairly consistently it seems.

Vet says that she has to eat by herself for a week, then they can take the feeding tube out, and I'll be able to bring her home.

So, looking good assuming she doesn't get all contrary again.

Hah great news

Glad to read it

Post by **Sorus** » Sat May 30, 2020 2:57 pm

Yay, Harley!

I don't know if this is available in your part of the world, but my cats are mad for it. If I so much as touch the shelf where I keep it, they will be instantly summoned, even if they were sound asleep and not in line of sight.

Huzzah Harley! Keep on healing and gaining strength!

You can do it, kitteh!

Imagine a kitty summoned

Nah, not available here unfortunately. (Or just as well...)

Vet says if everything continues to go well, should have the tube out and her home, maybe even by Wednesday, so here's hoping.

Hooray Av! Be prepared for a very demanding lady in your house for a day or two and stiffen your resolve! All will be well.
