Sadly, he's one of the best vets around believe it or not. We have horrible vets in this area. Though I believe he may have that also, his last blood test came back low on almost everything, so that could be a problem.

Thanks for the help everyone! I asked about an appetite stimulant and he suggested b12 (I think that's what it was) So he'll now be getting a shot of that every month. He just got one today so in the next few days we'll know if it's going to work or not.

Hopefully my little Chew will get better soon!

Sadly he has FIV, and the vet's office doesn't understand what that is. They think it's some highly spreadable thing that's going to kill all the other cats. The one nurse who loves cats wouldn't even pet him, and he has to be put in the back room segregated from all the other animals (Because it's going to spread to them if they even breath the same air) silenced

We've ordered almost every test in the book, even the highly expensive ones that we really don't have the money for. Nothing came back with results that would lead to a diagnoses. thinking Only things that made us more confused as to what it could be, like the fact that his blood tests were all over the place, most everything was way too low. The things that weren't too low were too high, I don't even know if he had one "Normal" level on the test. shrug

Odd thing is he's still acting like him self, even though these blood tests and loss of weigh suggest something serious is going on.

Here's the latest picture I have of him:

Edit: Picture link doesn't work, I'll upload it to his profile in just a second...

You can tell by his hips that he's defiantly skinny. Though this picture was taken on one of the weekly walks we go on outside with me, my dog, and him, which he still enjoys just the same with no change in personality or loss of energy. Though you can see how large of a cat he is compared to Bella who is a 18 pound Pug/Shih Tzu mix, 7 pound is defiantly very skinny for him.

So with all Sushi's health problems, we have another one to add, he's not eating enough. My vet recommend something which I can't recall the name of (It was bio-something made by nutra-something or other) To increase his immune system. But I've yet to be able to find out where I can get it...

Anyway, I need to know of some ways to get him to eat more, and ways to fatten him up since he is very underweight. At our old house he was a fat cat, but now he's not eating much and has lost a lot of weight. Right now we are free feeding him Natures Variety dog food (Accidently bought the dog instead of the cat, though we're getting the right bag next time) and Innova canned food though he's just not eating much other than the Greenies treats he gets once in a while.

He's still eating a bit, not at the level were we need to rush to hand feed him or anything, but he's not eating enough. The vets can't figure out what's wrong nor can we. Though the best place I've been told to start is with getting him to eat, though we've tried everything and nothing's working. Meanwhile he is slowly losing more and more weight (I think he's about 7 lbs, and he's got a large build)

What should I try to get him to eat? Should I just hand feed, even though he's still eating, just not enough? Maybe I should hand feed some extra supplements that might help him? If so, what?

(Thought I'd note, we've already gotten opinions from three vets, all three said they don't know what's wrong.)

Cat Health > Sushi's Mysterious Problems...

So Sushi's been having medical issues for a while now... We've gotten him check out by a few vets, and no one can figure out what's wrong or what to try next. I thought maybe someone here could help. Here are his problems that I've jotted down...

He has kitty aids- May cause some of the problems
He is low on many things, especially his red blood cell count, which caused him to not be able to have a tooth removed, we are not sure why he is low on all this stuff.
He lost a bunch of weight at one point, and wouldn't eat, though now that we changed food he's eating like a pig again.
He's not very active, though he's always been like that. When we changed foods the one cat got a lot more active, but he stayed the same.
Since he started losing weight and his blood test came back low on tons of stuff he hasn't been acting any different than normal.

Anyone have any ideas on what this all could be? Could it be cause by the kitty aids or could it be something else? If so does anyone have any ideas of what it could be, or anything to try and help him? We've taken him to many vets and gotten second opinions but they haven't been able to suggest anything.

Cat Health > Help! Very Low Red Blood Count!

My Mother took Sushi to the vet today to get his teeth cleaned, however when they did the blood test, he said that Sushi's red blood count was very low. This is the only info I have right now.

They are not a very good vet, so from what I heard they are doing nothing about it.

So what I'm wondering, is what can I do to fix this?

Thanks!

Behavior & Training > I Saw Something Really Horrid Today

Thank you Tigger. She basically said that it was bad, but it's not like hes does it all the time. shrug His cat screams whenever you pick her up, so I told her "That's probably why she screams all the time, because whenever he picks her up she's handled roughly, or he beats her like that" She just said "No, if that was true, she'd be a lot meaner."

It's still annoys me that no one in the house other than me took this as something serious, they all just brushed it off because he just laughed it away.

He's actually the owner of the house, though we all share bills, and pay rent. We're actually paying more than we should, and it's mostly us who buys the food for everyone.

Behavior & Training > I Saw Something Really Horrid Today

So, loooong back story before I get to the real point...

I just moved into a seven person household. It's me, my mother, my aunt, her boyfriend, his daughter, her baby, and her boyfriend. Plus we all have animals I, one cat, my service dog in training, and my three guinea pigs, my mother, her cat, my aunt, her cat, my aunts boyfriend, his two cats, and his daughter, her dog.

Now here's where the issues start...

I strongly dislike four of the people in the house. My aunts boyfriend, his daughter, her boyfriend, and the child they have. Reason I don't like the child is just because I don't like kids, it's nothing personal or anything. Anyway, I don't like the rest of them because basically they are just mean and rude. I have a severe disability (Agoraphobia) and my aunts boyfriend constantly mocks me about it, or makes rude comments about it without thinking. Such as Him: "Oh, you can't stay inside forever, just go and make friends" My Mind: "Don't you think I wish I could, I don't like having a disability, you try it sometime, and then you just go make friends." Him: "You're an ungrateful brat" That comment led to a horrible panic attack. Him: "Oh, is your dog your only friend?"

As you can see, just plain rude. So I don't like him one bit, now what he did today just drew the last straw, and normally I'm a pretty chill person.

So all of our cats just recently got introduced, and they were all out today walking around. All of us were in the living room/dining room, and he was sitting at the table. One of his cats jumped up on the table because of course they don't know what they can and can't jump up on yet. Whenever they get up on a spot they can't be on, we just take them off so they know they can't be up there. He asked everyone "Is she allowed up on the table?" Everyone responded with "No, not really..." And here's were things get even more horrible.

So this is what he does. He grabs the cat by the front paws, and flips her around very VERY roughly as if he was handling a sack of potatoes. Then he wraps one hand around her, and with his other hand starts spanking her violently, not in a light way even, it was if he was spanking her with all his might! cry naughty cry Then he flips her on her back.

I couldn't believe what I just saw. I mean, I know he takes horrible care of them. He feeds them the cheapest food he can get and doesn't see the value in anything else, keeps them in the room where everyone smokes, but I didn't think he'd do something like THIS?!?!

My aunt, talked to him telling him to not do that, but he played it off in a joking manner. I. Was. Horrified. Then he just went on his merry way doing things and what not. A few min later, he tried to talk to me in a super happy voice as if the birds outside were singing his favorite song. (Which he already knows I won't talk to him because I'm scared to and don't like him) I just snapped and gave him a dirty look. He laughed and said "Haha what's your problem?" Now I normally don't talk to anyone other than my aunt or my mother, a few words is so extremely rare because it makes me panic to think about misspeaking and what not.

However I just snapped and said "You know what I'm mad about? I'm mad about you BEATING you cat!"

His response... Wait for it... Wait for it... It's going to be a good one... "Well it's my cat... and it's not like I hit her with full force or anything."

I just started having a panic attack and had to run upstairs with my dog. He's not getting anywhere near my cat with a ten foot poll, nor my dog, nor me.

He has no right to have the companionship of any animal, let alone a cat. I wouldn't even trust him with a pet rock for goodness sake.

What's your opinion on the two I posted. I don't really like fancy feast, as it's got a lot of artificial things and such. I actually just went to their website, and the first food I looked at was just min 11% protein, the ones I posted above were triple or quadruple that. They both aren't actually dry foods, you add water to them, and I plan to tell her to add a lot of water.
