I think emergency clinics have more then their share of idiots
Maybe assist feeding would work for him. I will have to get a syringe. Did you
do anything else besides feeding her to help her get rid of toxins?

Years ago, one of my FIV cats had seizures; we rushed her to an emergency
clinic, and they told me you have a very sick kitty here, which made me
livid, as if I were a total ignoramus.I later did some research and
found out that cats with FeLV and FIV can build up toxins which can cause
seizures.
Maybe it would be a good idea to feed the cat with a syringeshould be no
problem! Wrap in a towel, hold the head from underneath the jaw, and
gently insert the syringe on the side of the mouth, slowly releasing the
food (small amounts, allowing the cat to swallow). Would it help if you
placed food in front, and then helped steady the cat's head?

The problem is more with the spasms he is having then not eating. He is
interested in food but is having a hard time eating it because of the
shaking and jerking. They don't know what is causing it. They were thinking
maybe value would help but are afraid it might not be good because of his
being weak and immune compromised.

Try ANYTHING - it's better than nothing. Sometimes, when they have an
infection, they can't smell the food (and that's very important to cats),
try taking some of the food, maybe diluted, and use a syringe or an
eyedropper to put some of it into their mouth on the side, just to get the
taste, they usually start eating!

I'm so sorry that Tweezer isn't doing well. I don't really know what to do
to encourage him to eat - maybe try his favorite food, I sometimes use
tuna or mackerel (supplemented with Nutri-Cal so the cat gets all their
viatamins). For cats, the smellier the food, the better.
I hope that helps!

Tweezer was to the vet yesterday. His RBC is 17 and he has a secondary
infection. He is also having spasms which is the worst because he is
frightened and it makes it harder for him to eat and drink. He is on
Prednesolone and Clavamox for now. What can I do to help him?
I hope this message gets through to the list because my last one didn't.
