Re: I'm getting so afraid for Merlin


no ideas here I'm afraid, just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and Merlin and sending healing vibes and *hugs*.

Hope he continues to improve.

Re: I'm getting so afraid for Merlin


I wondered if this might help Merlin.

Re: I'm getting so afraid for Merlin


That's interesting - thanks Elaine, but yet another food that needs to be purchased via the vet. I think another member was questioning their 50% mark up on another thread.

Re: I'm getting so afraid for Merlin


No indeed not, Elaine.

Have you any knowledge of this particular food?
http://www.burns-pet-nutrition.co.uk/dietetic_food.htm

It was a page in a link Mags gave.

I have contacted my local animal feed store about a mile away from where I live and they say they don't have it in stock but can get it for me. If I let them know on Monday, they will have it in by Wednesday.

I don't know whether I am imagining that Merlin is telling me he is getting fed up with it all. I was awake in the wee small hours last night seriously thinking about phoning the vet today and making apt for Monday to have him pts.

I discussed it with OH a while ago and he said no it's too early, he's all right for the moment. (I'd just hand fed Merlin some chicken). He won't eat any of the various types of cat food I have in the cupboard, just have to alternate between poached chicken and mince at the moment. He did a HUGE poo this morning and it was not nearly as rock hard as it has recently been, so that must have been so much easier for him.

He's just looking at me so sadly and I don't know if I am just being a silly old woman.
