Up date on Toa

[Yoda mom]

@Toa and Ross , Meows n purrs to Toa for good news on his lab work and all paws crossed here for a diagnosis /treatment plan for a speedy recovery to feeling himself again !

 

[Toa and Ross]

@Yoda mom I'm going to jump, scream, cry and laugh when they give a diagnosis with a treatment for speedy recovery. Thanks for keeping fingers and paws crossed!
As soon I know the results I'll let you all know!

 

[Toa and Ross]

@MelissaAlice : positive thoughts, thanks I can use them. You're right. I just wait for the results that will tell which treatment Toa needs. And in a few weeks I'll be complaining here that Toa has so much energy that he drives me crazy...oh I hope so!!

 

[Toa and Ross]

Maybe you all have advise for the cat litter eating? : what can I do to prevent Toa from eating cat litter when I'm not at home?

The last week Toa is eating cat litter. I know it's called Pica and it's caused by him not feeling well. The last five days I could stay home all day with him to watch him sleep and stop him when he wanted to eat catlitter. Tomorrow I have to work and will be away for 9-10 hours.

I tried a different type of litter, that's more like sand. But Toa eats this one too. I tried only old newspapers but he eats that too and he and Ross refuse to accept that as a "toilet". My vet tells me not to worry about him eating catlitter.
I know Toa is ill enough to worrie not about eating cat litter. But still I want to protect him as much as I can.

I think only thing you can go is if his that instant that no matter what he eats all you can do is get one that isn't toxic

Thanks! I have biocat cat litter. They say it's not toxic. Probably I'm just to worried about everything. I guess I just have to buy extra bags of catlitter:wideyed:

Prayers sent for you and your kit. It is so frustrating when there is chronic issues going on and seemingly no answers.

@Toa and Ross (((Hugs))))
Would a small dog or puppy kong with treats and a tiny bit canned food distract him from litter eating? ** I Just read the kitty version kong is not that durable- can be dangerously chewed
So skip the kitty version please

I use black extreme dog kongs for my big boys without any problems


**For stress relief and comfort- give him a pair of socks you just took off your feet

It works better than Feliaway plug ins with my Macie who has pica with plastic bags-

Macie Bengal was very shy and nervous when we adopted her-
I was at wits end trying Feliaway , essential oils-etc

Then I read about the "sock method"
They like to have something with your scent and I think it may help while you are at work

She now lays on her blankie sleeping with my socks total relaxed
I give her a new sock every other day and toss the others in the laundry

Wow. This sheds some light on things. Max loves to play in Hubby's freshly discarded socks at night. And what a great idea!

 

[Toa and Ross]

No FIP No FIP!
The vet just called me: the gamma globulines in Toa's blood are good so this means the chance is little Toa has FIP.

In his blood there are slight signs of anemia and of a chronic inflammation.

We don't have all the results yet, the results of the poop test will come monday. So waiting untillall the results are known to make up a plan.

I know there's still a long way to go but for now I'm just so happy it's not FIP. I'm in the train going back home and I'm dancing, laughing and crying.

Thanks for all you crossed fingers, prayers, positive thoughts, health vibes and support!

Good to know the kitten congs can't be trusted. I wanted to buy one so now I know I have to buy a dog version of the kong. Thanks.

I'm definitly going to try the socks! Mine smell terrible after a day I wore them so I hope Toa won't pass out when he smells my socks. But seriously, he always wants to be close to me so I think it will help him if he has something that smells like me.

Thanks for the advice!

*breathes a sigh of relief* I am so very glad it's not FIP. HUGS HUGS.

Soon you'll have a plan and Toa will be back on the mend.

Continuing to send you positive vibes.

Best news ever!! (y) Now on to a recovery plan from the vet and Toa will be on the road to recovery!

 

[Lickleone]

Best news I've heard today!!! Whoop whoop extra kisses to him when you get home

 

[JenFid]

Such good news! I hope they are able to pinpoint what's wrong now and get him on a proper treatment

 

[Catzzzmeow]

Yay!!!! That is wonderful news!!! I know you were bracing yourself for the worst news just in case. Now I hope they can just get to the root of the problem for your baby.

Great news! So glad to hear it! I hope you can find to solution to his issues quickly and get back to a healthy kitten! Super!

 

[Trisha]

Oh my gosh - I just read this thread and I held my breathe scrolling through and I thought my heart was about to jump out of my chest.
I am SOOO relieved for you, I could cry (but I'm at work, so I shouldn't!)
I will keep Toa in my thoughts - I truly hope the little guy feels better very soon.

 

[MelissaAlice]

Yip Yip Yippie

So so so happy!!

 

[Sphynx Asylum Mom]

SO HAPPY TO HEAR!!!! Glad Tao is FIP FREE!!!!

Yeah I can breath again now I know it's not FIP!
I just come and almost kissed Toa to death

Thanks for the continuing positive vibes. Still need cause I saw that the diarrhea is back again after one "good poop". So guess the antibiotics stopped working or the hypo allergenic food doesn't help.
But that are concerns for tomorrow. Now I'm just happy!:joyful:

Toa definitly wants to go on the road to recovery. He's going to beat this nasty unknown thing! Thanks for your support.

I love bringing the best news of the day! I gave him a thousands kisses when I did came home. Now he's hidden under the couch cause he thinks I did go nuts

 

[Toa and Ross]

Such good news! I hope they are able to pinpoint what's wrong now and get him on a proper treatment

Thanks! I do hope that they pinpoint out what's wrong cause he's not okay and there's something wrong. But for now I'm just sooooo relieved and happy!
