Had a visit with the vet today. He check her weight, temperature, and mouth. He did not want to draw blood today because of the report I gave (positive) and that she is doing better. She is still not out of the woods because she is not eating nor drinking.

He wants to continue force feeding 30 cc three (3) times a day of science diet a/d canned (wet) cat food watered down into a syringe. I will also give her a vitamin b12 shot of 1/2 cc once every 100 hours. The vet wants us to stop the nutrical and finish off the 1/2 ml of amoxycillin (sp).

The only new addition is that he put her on 1/2 tablet (about 2mg)of Cyproheptadine for appetite. He also said that vetvetdoug was absolutely right about the Pepcid AC and said to buy the 10mg mint chewable pills and cut them into 4 and give it to her in the morning and at night.

I still have 2 shots of centrine available if she starts throwing up.

The vet wants to see her again next Wednesday, 30 MAR 05 to draw blood and check on her. Her little veins might have had time to reconstitute to try a catheter in her leg for I.V. instead of the SUB-Q I am giving currently (100ml twice a day).

THanks again for support and advice! She is sitting here next to me like the old days watching me surf Freerepublic....I just wish she would eat/drink and get as active as she used to be....still a very sick little kitty with good signs of improvement!

Thanks again!

Chris

We are still chugging along I see. I was glad to be of some help. I have one more suggestion. Instead of centrine for control of vomition, consider Zofran (ondansetron) at a rate of .25 ml per ten pounds of bodyweight daily in the muscle. Zofran is more expensive but light years ahead of centrine in the control of vomiting. I wish you the best.

I'm so glad to hear Casey is doing better and surfing FR with you (always a good sign!). I'm glad you are giving us updates and we look forward to them. In our house I yell "kitty update" and then spread the news! Hang in there, both of you.

I'm happy to hear that Casey is getting better, slowly but surely. Keep us posted.

Glad to hear that Casey's doing better.

BTW...could the medicine be responsible for her lack of appetite? I once had my kitty on some antibiotic with amoxycillin and by the time she finished the doses she wouldn't eat, she was vomiting, and had diarrhea. Just a thought.

Add me to the list of Huntress, Ovretaxed and everyone else that glad to see your Casey is feeling better, Bryan.

Prayers and thoughts still up.

Jack.
