Bonnie,    Ask your vet about giving him a dexamethasone shot. It really makes them feel better, even when they are really sick.  And sometimes helps with anemia. It may be contraindicated because of his kidney and thyroid problems, though, I don't know.   Michelle   In a message dated 1/5/2006 10:42:47 P.M.

When he looks like he had to go to the little box, I carry him there and support him while goes - or tries to go. I'm hand-feeding him a/d with Fancy Feast beef liver mixed in. I've got some beef liver on hand that I'll cook up for him later. Bonnie
