Re: HELP & ADVICE NEEDED!!! Neglected Persians kept in filthy house

Well thanks to Kay for the link to the Persian Cat Rescue. The whole saga cut a bit short is below.... I spoke to a nice lady who runs the charity who took the matter very seriously and said that she could come to take the 3 cats on Friday as long as the sister next door could sign the cats over to ...

Re: HELP & ADVICE NEEDED!!! Neglected Persians kept in filthy house

Hi, Yes someone else advised me to contact the local council's environmental health dept to get advice if the RSPCA continue to drag their heels on this matter. It was really quite distressing for me to witness what I did today. I don’t want to go back there but I do so feel for the poor cats. I thi...

HELP & ADVICE NEEDED!!! Neglected Persians kept in filthy house

Hi. I am in need of advice here. I do occasional cat sitting through the Cat in a Flat website. A lady has been contacting me over the past week requesting very last minute cat sitting for her 3 cats in her house. She has been in and out of hospital and said she is currently in hospital now after ha...

Anyone know of an animal communicator for deceased pets???

Hi, Ok I know this topic will probably raise some eyebrows and appear very strange to most people here but since losing my very first and only fur baby, Binky to lymphoma and liver failure on Christmas Day, I am still reeling from the loss so much. I'm desperate to connect to her and I am a believer...

Re: Lost my beautiful angel Binky Christmas Day

Yesterday afternoon on a cold crisp clear bright day, my dearest Binky's ashes were finally buried in the garden since her passing exactly 3 weeks ago. It's strange to see on opening the plastic bag which held her ashes that our once beautiful full-bodied, chubby sweetheart was now reduced to a cupf...

Re: Lost my beautiful angel Binky Christmas Day

Thank you Sarah. This afternoon I went up to the pet cemetery again near Hemel Hempstead to collect Binky's ashes and the plaque I ordered from them. Of course this brought up emotions again. Driving back home with the small box and plaque at the back of the car, it occurred to me that Binky is now ...

Lost my beautiful angel Binky Christmas Day

Yesterday Christmas Day evening, my beautiful darling angel Binky crossed the rainbow bridge at home after a valiant 12 week battle with lymphoma. I had her for 6.5 years. Found her wandering outside the house in April 2009 and took her to the CPL before taking her in so don't know exactly how old s...

Re: Bad liver, very high liver enzymes/liver disease

Well, it's funny that you should mention an animal communicator because I did in fact (out of distress and desperation) contact one last Saturday and no, I don't think it's eccentric at all.

Binky stayed at the vets on a drip for 3 nights from Friday. We visited her twice over the weekend. She came back home this afternoon. She was quite cross at having the saline drip inserted in her arm and kept on trying to get it off, poor lass. She is well hydrated now and ate a bit while at the ve...

Re: Bad liver, very high liver enzymes/liver disease

Having spoken to the main vet this evening, what is really concerning is the presence of abnormal cells or blast cells which the vet says is an indicator of lymphoma. He said that these abnormal cells are unusual in cats (typical isn't it....my Binky just has to get it). That is on top of the pancre...

Re: Bad liver, very high liver enzymes/liver disease

My little fur baby isn't eating much of the Hills A/D prescription diet canned food prescribed by the vet to help with her liver.

The more she doesn't eat, the more damage will be inflicted on her liver.

What can I do????

I've always fed her mainl...

Bad liver, very high liver enzymes/liver disease

My cat just had a blood test done before the op to have her bad tooth taken out and the tests came back with liver enzymes very high so surgery out of the question.

Anyone else here with experience of their cats with this disease with some advice please?

Thanks,
