2351. Follow up 4 months later: FIC (FUS, FLUTD) in a cat - happy ending for the mother

Edited: Oct 10, 2018






Tuesday Nov 3, 2015

Today, the mother came to buy 2 small bags of feline CD. She is a working mother and had been considerably stressed by the cat that had been to Vet 1 and myself such that she considered euthansing him. The cat  continued to have difficulty peeing, soiling the apartment floor. This was stressful to the busy caregiver..

This cat would go wherever she goes and so, was much appreciated and loved by the woman who is in her late 40s. .


WHAT SHE DID 4 MONTHS AGO


Basically she complied with my vet instructions:
1. Separate her cat from the dominant one. The latter would eat all his food and more of this cat's food. - Cover this cat's feed bowl.

2. The affected cat stays in mum's bedroom when she goes to work. He has his own litter box (newspaper pellets), feed bowl and water bowl.

3. Add canned C/D + some commercial food  at first. Then add dry C/D in small amounts till the cat eats 100% C/D.  Ignore the cat if he is still fussy. The cat did eat out of hunger.

It was great news that this cat could recover and not euthansed.
