My wife has made a follow up appointment for Brody--The Cat. [View all]
My wife is concerned. She says when she pets Brody she is feeling his ribs and bones. I think he is gaining weight. When I lift him up he feels like he is gaining weight.
He is throwing bigger chunks of food and he won't touch hard food after trying to eat it and throwing it up.
His third eye lid is partly covering his eye still. Wife is concerned it my be nerve damage which in the long run isn't as bad because he is playing with our other cats.
The vet tech did suggest that Brody's throat may still be sore from the surgery which my wife was thinking as well but what my wife is concerned about is the fact that a friend/client of her who has had cats is concerned with Brody still losing weight even though he is eating the majority of 3 cans a day that he tumor was probably cancerous. We couldn't afford the biopsy because the surgery took more than the vet thought. The tumor was bigger than she first thought --we aren't blaming the vet we realized it was hard to determine how big the lump was.
But if he does have cancer we want to make him as happy and comfortable as possible until he starts to suffer. we don't want him to suffer.
I think my wife wants to know because she needs to prepare herself. She loves all our cats but Brody has her wrapped around her paw. He has laid on her while she is sleep and he is laying there like a Sphinx guarding her. This cat will follow her from room to room and I jokingly call him "her lover" because he is always nuzzling her and petting her. When she comes home from work 9 times out of 10 she has to kneel down in front of the bed while he jumps up onto the bed and "pets" her face and he'll even bashed his head into her lips as a way of getting kiss. He even touches his little "lips"/closed mouth to her lips.
We have this high calorie paste that we have tried to get Brody to eat but he hates it. We have mixed it in soft food gotten a syringe and pushed it into his mouth but he spits it out. any suggestions?
