Re: Roger


Both cats are 18, but I'm hoping they will have another few years left *prays*

Re: Roger


Hello RCR! My Feline Tribe are thinking of you and yours! Good Luck!!

Can I also refer you to me comments I made in Balerios weight thread as follows -
Glad to hear he's picking up... chicken is always the winner in my house however I also boil rice in stock cubes & mix that in with chopped chicken or boiled fish .... Bear if feeling poorly insists on cheese, preferably soft goats cheese which I have to dunk me finger in then let him lick it off, on demand of course!

But a good stand by we use at the rescue is a good quality of kitten food, either wet or dry, which ever takes their fancy... I prefer Hills or Royal Canin.... never failed yet!!! And believe me some of the size zero cats that have been through our doors...

Also if you do find the A/b's aren't enough and they discover something amiss (fingers crossed not!) check out the types of food you can give to help them... follow this link to a website we use, and create an account (so long as you follow this link each time you will donate 1% of your total bill to our rescue centre too!! )

Check out the different types of food from Hills, Royal Canin etc..... hope it helps!!


All the best!

Re: Roger


As far as we know he's still eating a little, his brother Barrie nicks Roger's food though.

I'll pass the link on, thanks MCL

Re: Roger


Sorry to here about Roger.
Has his thyroid been tested as well, hyperthyroid can affect kidney function and causes weight loss.

Re: Roger


Sorry to hear about Roger ..... it doesn't sound too good, but he may improve if his brother can be kept out of the way so that Roger can eat something. Healing vibes for him.

Re: Roger


I've just got back from Roger and Barrie's owner.

Roger is back at the vets again, the vet wants to keep him in overnight and try him with steroids, but if that fails the owner could be looking at euthanasia

Edit: The vet said he's wobbly on his back legs out of sher weakness due to not eating
