Anne, It never was while he was alive, my vet found after he passed that he had a pancreatic tumor, and that's when we put two and two together. The unease when feeding, the lethargy, diarrhea, his symptoms were pretty mild. Even the ultra sound didn't show any problems with his pancreas

Belinda,    Thanks so much for all the links!  This is great, lots of food for thought.  So, how was pancreatitis finally diagnosed with Bailey?  I don't think I have read a lot about pancreatitis in cats but have done some reading about dogs with it.  I'm sorry you lost your sweet boy that

Hi Nina!     Jimi Too Cool's vet seems to be clueless about where the pain is emanating from.  He was just guessing stomach or esophagus.  I will do some re-reading, I had forgotten, if I ever knew, that stomatitis can affect other organs, hmmm.  I think the mystery is that he really doe

Here are my ideas (all just shots in the dark):   1. Go to a veterinary dentist rather than a regular vet. They are more specialized.   2. Try one of the intensive immune supports that have seemed to help other kinds of immune problems in positive cats, like Immuno-Regulin or Acemannan.   3.

Hi Anne,   I certainly remember you and think of J2C and Sophie often.  I think it's a miracle what you've done for Sophie especially.  I don't have any advice for you since I haven't yet had to deal with these symptoms.  I do agree with what you said though about making him comfortable.  My firs

Just reread your post, has he been checked for pancreatitis, many cats with pancreatitis will not eat because they have immediate pain when eating? This is what Bailey unknown to us at the time had, he ate but it was apparent he was very uncomfortable while eating and after, and he had diar

Metacam, can cause serious kidney damage, I'd have his kidney's checked right away if he has lost so much weight. Cats with kidney problems are notorious for not wanting to eat. Has he had his teeth pulled, this is often the last resort fix for cats with serious stomastisis, and the antibi

Hi Anne! I've always loved Jimi Too Cool's name, and I remember Sophie too. I'm so sorry to hear about Jimi's distress when eating. Isn't that just the worst? To watch them be interested, to know they are hungry, and then to see them react to something as benign as food with pain and terror!

Hi everyone,     I feel so badly that I can't keep up with the posts on this great list as I used to do, although I do try when I can.      I haven't posted for a while but probably the people who have been on the list for while  will know my Jimi Too Cool.  I also have sweet Sophie as my friend,
