Re: Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Hi everyone, I wanted to come on again to thank you all for the tips you have given me for TinTin. It’s really unbelievable how much he has come on with that lic-e-lix. On Sunday evening after his syringe feed he walked over to the cat food bowl and ate of his own accord! The sound his teeth made wa...

Re: Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Appointment made for Monday at the vet. I’m going to ask them to look at the wound exudate, remove his stitches, examine his mouth and tongue and teeth, and check the existing eye for improvement. Anything else I should ask while there? Thank you all for your help so far. I literally have no one els...

Re: Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Just to let you know that I went to B&M bargains this morning at 8:30 and bought every type of Lick-e-lix available. Have successfully got 10ml into TinTin with an old Calpol syringe! Will keep building it up, alternating with the convalescence food.

Re: Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Thank you all, yes you are all helping me to look at this more positively! I must have been living under a rock because I’ve never heard of the lix-e-lix- I will definitely be trying every variation of that on him! Thank you! Oh quick question - any ideas on the best way to clean him up a bit? He ha...

Re: Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Thank you all for your responses, I certainly do feel a little more relaxed. What a thoughtful and kind bunch you are! He has been scratching at the sitting room door where I’d been keeping him with me while I worked so we allowed him to walk through the house and have kept the other cats outside wh...

Re: Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Thank you so much! The vet is really at a loss as to what to do with him and suggested we may have to make a difficult decision. I was swaying that way myself a little, seeing him blindly try to make his way around the room - so reduced from his former self. I can feel every vertebrae in his back. B...

Traumatic week - don’t want to give up hope

Last Monday my 9 year old neutered male cat TinTin didn’t come home in the evening. I have 4 cats and they usually come and go during the day but sleep on the beds / sofa at night. Occasionally they’ll disappear all day / night and come back. So first night he was out I wasn’t overly worried. Come W...
