I know this is a year old by now, but did you do the Chemo for Oak and if yes how did he manage it?

How is Nala doing? Did the new medicine help and if yes what was it? My cat Gino has kidney disease, too. He is a picky eater. He may eat soemthign now, but not the next time. Since April this year I offer him dry food, too (he didn’t eat anything back then, so I was happy he was eating that). He is back to wet food now, but on bad days still prefers dry food.

When he absolutely doesn’t like to eat, medication against nausea sometimes helpes him. When he was so sick in April he would only eat cooked chicken breast and only small amounts. I had to feed him with a syringe and he hated that. But he pulled through. By now he also gets something to keep his stomach acid down, that helps, too.
Otherwise I can’t give him much supplements. I tried various things, but when I do something in his food he won’t eat it. So I can’t help much with my experience here.

I would recommend to do the surgery. If you have an eye care center thats even better. Otherwise you could ask the vet if they have done this kind of surgery before.
I work in a shelter and have seen a few cats with an entropian. All of them had the surgery and I think they felt better afterwards. Before they were always squinting, some hat swollen eyes or infections. After the surgery and everything healed that was gone.

I agree with Krista, try to get more help. Hear murmur in kittens cat be traeted. They may need an heart-ultrasound the see the cause of the murmur and to choose the right medication. When he’s better he may start to eat enough on his own again.

We syringe-feed kittens with a mixture of hills a/d food and kitten formula. They usually accept it very well and gain weight properly.

You may want to try and look for a second opinion, if your current vet doesn’t help any further.

I thought about “cerebellar hypoplasia”, too. I guess that’s what I meant with Ataxia. (We call them “Ataxie-Katzen/Ataxia Cats”. We sometimes have kittens, that show wobbly gait, problems with judging distance and similar – however despite this they are still normal, playful, active kittens. The worst case was a little red tabby whose mother most likely had contact with cat-parvo. He could hardly stand when he got old enough to leave his box. His littermates were wobbly, too but not like he was. He had a hard time to walk at the beginning. But after he got the possibility to run around and train hismucles, he learned how he can run and walk – it still was wobbly, but he was not falling over all the time anymore.
However none of the kittens ever showed the symptoms Ezra does when she is asleep. And none of their new owners ever called because of soemthing similar.

Please let me know if you find somwthing. I would love to learn more!

It seems there is not much to be found for her specific problem. But maybe I’m looking wrong as English is not my native language. I only found a Youtube Video and some short texts on google, but nothing really helpful.

That sounds very good! I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks a lot for letting us know how it went :).

I wish only the best for you and your dog! You did the right thing!

I would do the surgery – yes thwere is a risk and it may be higher due to her age, but at least she has a chance. If she is otherwise fine, I think she has good chances to survive thew surgery. To determine that I would do blood work and a check up before the surgery.

If she doesn’t survive – you at least know that you did everything you could to help her. Pyometra is not nice – I only knew it from cats and rats and both suffered without surgery.

Get her spayed as soon as possible. Better to keep her locked up for 14 days than to risk her life every time she gets in heat!
She depends on you to care for this and ti is your responsibility to superviye your brother when he plays with her.

We have a cat at the shelter that gave borth to 4 kittens – it was a planned pregnancy. Shew was extremly protecting of her babies and attacked ther previous owners daughter. The owner herself said that she didn’t supervise everything the daughter did – so it is possible that one of the babies meeowed and the mother cat worried and attacked.
By the way – she is the sweetest cat ever now that she’s in our shelter with her kittens – and the previous owner also said that she’s extremly sweet expect this one time. And they risked all this just because they didn’t spay her.
So if she starts to get babies – never let you brother alone near her! You will have to control their interactions for even longer now, as if you just got her spayed.
After spaying you have to control them for 7-14 days, if she has babies you have to control that for at least 3 month, depeneding on her behaviour even longer.

So please get her spayed. We have so, so many kittens every year in our shelter, we don’t need any more!

I agree with Starr – if he was a stray for some time, he may has learned to eat as much and as fast as he can, as he never knows when or how much food comes again. We experience this sometimes with cats we take in in our shelter.
It may take him a while to realise that from now on he doesn’t have to worry anymore. I would still have him checked, to make sure he’s healthy.
For everything else I agree with what Krista said.
