Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 My cat Marble has been having problems. She hasn't eaten without help for weeks. Her fore paws are losing fur on the middle claw, she is rail thin and her behavior has changed drastically. She has been on the mend with wet food, but now Diablo Kitty has similar problems! Please look at his photo on the NN site and help me out with suggestions. http://photos./group/ It's in my " Deanna's World " folder. TIA, Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Wow, poor kitty! You'd better get to a vet right away. That happened to my cat once and she was never the same again. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds extremely serious and without a diagnosis, there is absolutely no way you can treat it with diet or anything else, because you don't know what you're treating. And if you have a second kitty with the same thing, this suggests an infectious disease, of which cats suffer from a couple that are absolutely deadly, or some kind of toxin. Either way you have GOT to get an answer and fast. Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She started to spin around in circles and then took to swimming - our neighbor's pool, the creek, where ever she could find water - then one day she just never came back. The kids cried for weeks. I wish I'd taken her to the vet sooner. Did you give your cat pate? That was the only thing I could ever figure out that it could be.

I can diagnose the cat from a cursory glance and won't even charge Deanna for my correct but uncredentialed diagnosis - duckophilia. Clear as day. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Intensive deprogramming and re-acculturation back into feline culture. IME, with such young kitties, duckophilia can be reversed relatively quickly. First signs that she's returning to normal are increased meowing, decreased honking, and webbing begins to diminish. Be warned though, occasional pecking may still occur after all outward signs have returned to normal. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 >> duckophilia << I'm guessing there was a little April Fool's Day thing going on with the photo?

Deanna's cat seems to have a very advanced case as evidenced by the photo. I got an error message too, so I went to the photos section of the website and got to it that way. Don't view it on a full stomach if you can help it though, it's pretty sickening. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc. Web Design & Development http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3shjg Weston A.

And free too, bravo Dr. Suze. Sorry the link was bad. Let me finish up my gardening and get back with a photo link with some before and after. And in all fairness, Marble was not interested in food for a time, that was her only symptom, however, and she's eating again. I thought it would add credibility, which it did, lol. Vet gave me Science Diet for sick animals (canine & feline). That got Marbies into food again and she is on to a different wet food. Sorry to be such a stinker, but when preteen dude showed me the pic he rendered of Diablo, complete with small ears, webbed forepaws and a squirrelly face, I could not resist, being the day it was and all. :-) Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
