Cats / General Cat Health Discussion / Interesting dilema

For the last week, whenever Herne(9yr old Siamese) eats kibble, he upchucks. Doesn't seem to matter what kind. Now this is the same cat I had go anorexic on me twice in the 6 months I was trying to get them all on first canned, then raw. The first time was with the 1/2 and 1/2 raw/canned, the second on the straight canned. Which is why he was finally put back onto kibble(Evo). Refuses to even sniff any form of wet food. He's acting normal, pooping/peeing/drinking, etc. All normal. If I take his kibble, soak it, puree it, and syringe it- he's fine. I can syringe baby food, canned, anything moist(he refuses to eat it if it's not kibble). But- I've tried the Evo, Wellness Core, even that cr*p Whiskas. He vomits within an hour of eating any type of kibble. And all it takes is a small amount of the stuff. Any ideas?

I just picked them up at the pharmacy, so they'd be human grade. Yeah, I'll leave off with them for a few days, and just give his salmon oil again. I stopped using that one for him when I started the CLO.

I've been putting a capsule of the cod liver oil in his food every other day, and unfortunately, his senility is only getting worse. He's started spraying in the house the odd time(I think I've caught him every time, as he only does it in front of me), and as soon as I say his name loudly, he stops. Physically- he's still fine. His attacks on Watson are growing frequent enough that we have to basically keep them separated whenever possible. When we go to work, Watson is shut in the bedroom with Herne for company, while Ligiea and Stubbs wander about(he backs down from Ligiea). When the ferrets are out, Stubbs and Ligiea are shut into the office, as that room isn't ferret- proofed. Stubbs and Ligiea still get outside every day with us in the yard, and will continue to do so as long as the weather holds. It's the only time he's ever truly happy, after all. I'm not going to be surprised if he starts to go downhill once it's too cold for him to go out at all. So- basically we're keeping on keeping on!

She'll be here shortly, I imagine  . The vet is recommending Hill's only, if I'm correct. If not- Claudette will correct me(and I think she'd love the chance  ). And no, the bowels are not the present problem.

Actually, she has been to the vet for the urinary problems already, which is why I referred her here. Part of the trouble is since she's only 14, she has to convince her parents every time they do any sort of change. It took a fair bit to get them to agree to get her off the Hill's.

This may not work, but have you considered Kitten Milk Replacer? It's a non-lactose supplement used for kittens, and ill animals. It's chock full of all the nutrients they need. I use it with my ferrets when they're under the weather, and to mix in with their liver meals to entice them. I get the powder form, and mix it as needed. The powder will last 6 months in the freezer.

Cod liver oil? That's interesting! He gets salmon oil on a regular basis, would that be similar in the properties? Right now, we're looking at a different Bach's flower remedy as well, since the rescue remedy doesn't seem to be working for him anymore. He started to refuse food if that was in it, so I'm giving him a dab on the nose, as well as rubbing some in his ear. I've sent off an email to Bach's, to see if they have any recommendations for me.
