Please say a prayer for Tiggy

**Liz** · 01-Jun-08, 21:03

We had to take our cat Tiggy to the Vet his morning as he is really unwell.

The Vet thought it might be a tummy upset so gave him a couple of injections but said that if he isn't better in a couple of days we had to take him back for blood tests.

He perked up when he came home but since early evening has gone downhill again and I am very worried.

So please say a wee prayer for Tiggy. I can't bear to lose him.

sending loads of healing light from Skye.

all best wishes for a good recovery.xx

Thanks ever so much everyone. Means a lot to me.xxx

He just had something to drink and brought it all back up again.

I am really hoping it is 'only' a tummy bug.

The Vet did mention kidney disease but this usually means increased thirst and Tiggy hasn't had this.

When Cara had a tummy bug the vet told us to take all food and water away for a few hours to give her stomach a rest. Maybe cats are different though ??

He hasn't had anything to eat for over a day now Carasmam.

I did give him a wee bit of chicken yesterday but this morning he isn't interested at all and just drank.

He looks so miserable my heart is breaking and I am so scared I am going to lose my darling boy.

**carasmam** · 02-Jun-08, 08:55

I logged on hoping for better news this morning

Have you to go back to the vet today?
Still sending healing light x

I know I was also really hoping that he would have improved. Thankfully, he has stopped being sick(well it was actually bile he was bringing up) but he is so miserable looking and lifeless. I will phone the Vets in a wee while as I fear he will need blood tests and an X-Ray but I hate putting him through this. Afraid I can't stop crying!

i'll keep you company.

So sorry to here Tiggy's no better,here's hoping the vet can get to the bottom of this.

So sorry to hear about Tiggy, Liz.

Hope things go OK with the vet, and that it's something they can treat.
Try to stay positive, and let us know how things are going.
I'll be thinking of you all.

**Liz** · 02-Jun-08, 10:19

Thanks both. I am waiting for the Vet to call me back but think he will need to go for tests. Will keep you updated.

**neepnipper** · 02-Jun-08, 10:29

Is it possible he could've eaten something that's blocking him, it's just that the symptons sound the same as when my dog ate a stone and had to get it removed, he wouldn't take food or water and kept being sick and was really listless, the vet said it was a tummy bug but a week later he couldn't stand up he was so weak, we asked for an x-ray to be done and they found the stone lodged behind his rib cage so they couldn't feel it when they were feeling his tummy by hand, within hours of the op he was eating (liquidised stuff) and back on his feet.

**Liz** · 02-Jun-08, 10:37

No he hasn't eaten anything (he's a house cat)but I did wonder whether it was possible that a big furball or something was blocking his tum? Tiggy is drinking though and hasn't been sick since yesterday.
His tummy must be sore though as I tried to massage it and he cried.
Just wish I knew what it was!

Well that's my darling boy at the Vets now for blood tests and X-ray.
Have to phone back at 2.30pm and have to say I am dreading it!
I was able to put him in the cat carrier no problem so it shows how poorly he is as he would normally do the wall of death if I tried to catch him when he was well.
Whatever happens I just don't want my boy to suffer.
It has just been so hard with Rusty being ill for so long and then losing him and not long after that Charly being diagnosed with the heart murmur.
Will keep you updated and thanks again for caring. It is so nice that I can 'chat' with people I know understand.
