Hope thr vet can help her tomorrow, poor baby! What a pity about the insurance!

Thanks all!

I'm surrounded by 3 very hungry cats so I'm cooking up more chicken breast as I'm going to avoid biscuits for a day or two (feeding the sachets didn't help and actually exacerbated the problem) until I know what the vet suggests. If it's a bug that won't make any difference but hopefully whatever it is will flush out of their little systems and we'll have well kitties again.

Poor Fifi. Fingers crossed its a passing bug which will sweep through asap with minimal disturbance.

Hope all kitties are bright and breezy in no time.

Big cuddles and chin rubs xxxx

Poor Fifi! Hope she's feeling better soon!

Hope it's a simple bug and all will settle in ni time.

The vet wasn't overly concerned; she felt it was either the Drontal (wormer) which they all had recently, or a bug. I'm to put E45 cream on her sore bum . . . vet thinks this is due to over-licking to get the area clean. Poor Fi; a pooey tongue AND a sore bott

I've got some nutritional supplement for both her and Myshka to have in addition to the boiled chicken.

Fifi also has quite a lot of holes in her teeth which might need treatment depending on how it seems to be affecting her. As she puts away biscuits quite readily it obviously doesn't seem a problem at the moment.

HOWEVER, vet is quite concerned about her weight loss (as was I); from 4.6KG to 4KG in 6 months. She also mentioned that Fifi's thyroid glands were enlarged which might point to them being overactive - no heart murmur detected yet which is good. I need to sort some additional blood tests in the next couple of weeks.

Oh poor Fifi

That doesn't sound nice at all for the wee girl. Sounds like the vet gave her a really good checking over and you've got a few things to follow up, which in a way is more comforting that not knowing.

I hope future tests about her weight and thyroids come back ok!

Poor girl....Hope her tummy settles soon...
