What happy news! Yay Flynn! He looks very pleased to be home :)

KatyMac · 25/08/2020 11:15

I have also syringed the lactulose into his mouth and he has eaten his food

So no more mixing it up

Plus I heated his food a bit and I think he preferred it

Yay welcome home Flynn! Warming food slightly is a good way to get them eating as it makes the food smell stronger (which can be a bit bleurgh for us humans).

I think my vet told me to syringe it into his mouth as you could be more accurate with what he was taking in. i used to microwave his food for 10 seconds and I remember them giving me antacids and meds to stimulate his appetite. I also used those cat soup sachets to get more liquid into him.

He looks so happy to be home. That has put a big smile on my face! ❤️

Hi

I'm glad DD is feeling a bit more hopeful/positive now. Getting the house done is a big sigh of relief indeed!

Pleased to hear DH is getting his fitness & stamina back. That lovely man needs to stay well & safe.

Flynn looks Purrrrfectly happy there! & sounds completely pandered to!! Warming their food slightly does seem to help it's just a bit bleurgh for us, but needs must.

How are YOU?

I am wondering if his anal glands could be blocked

I'm going to ring the vet

We are supposed to be going away on Saturday and I'm worried

Better to be safe than sorry. Are you going far? I'd be in two minds 😿😿

KatyMac · 26/08/2020 10:46

The vets is happy he is OK cos of the texture of the poo

I might get a friend to drop in on them while we are away; my daughters boyfriend is staying to look after him but he hasn't really had pets

He's a handsome cat. Love the paw on the arm in the photo. He obviously loves his people.
Is he Siamese? Beautiful colour points.

KatyMac · 26/08/2020 15:28

He has started having fits so they have put him down

I’m so sorry. What a sad turn of events. 😿

BabyMoonPie · 26/08/2020 15:49

@KatyMax I'm so sorry. He was a handsome boy who lived a great life with you and I'm sure he'll never be forgotten 💐

SecretWitch · 26/08/2020 15:53

I’m so very sorry💐 We lost our beloved Shadow to kidney disease three years ago. My heart goes out you.

TheLongRider · 26/08/2020 15:56

Flowers I'm so sorry, you did everything you could for him.

Oldestchild90s · 26/08/2020 18:12

Oh my gosh, i'm so sorry 😿

KatyMac · 26/08/2020 19:09

Oh KatyMac, what a sad turn of events.

I think you need to take solace in the fact that Flynn came home and had a lovely final evening with you.

Remember the best days you had together and try to enjoy your holiday.

I read somewhere that when cats are nauseatedthey search a cool surface. If he has kidney problems, he might not be eating because he is feeling unweel. Perhaps some fluid and anti nausea can get him going again?

Hope he gets better!

Jemimatheragdoll · 26/08/2020 19:52

Lua, you really should have rtft

KatyMac Thanks - I did love the pic you posted of his little paw on the arm, so sweet

Vinorosso74 · 26/08/2020 19:54

Oh no I'm so sorry. As someone else said it's good he was able to come home and spend a final evening with you. RIP Flynn
