He eats regularly Turkey Gerber baby food, Iams "Active" dry cat food, and 'hairball control' and 'shiny coat' treats in the morning and before bed. He has stopped meowing though when he's being petted and laying down he doesnt seem like he's in pain - like when he's trying to move.
√ He tested negative for FIV/FELV
√ The vet examined him and ruled out the thrombosis, blood clot possibility because he thinks he has a strong pulse in his feet.
√ From his x-ray the vet confimed that Felix has no broken bones etc.
He does thinks the problem is a bacterial infection in his spine because there were two tiny darker areas in the x-ray on his spine that might be the infection. The vet proscribed 1/2 tablet Cephalexin 250mg 2x/day.
I'm concerned because there are many similar stories from pet owners on the internet to Felix's symptoms, and none of them have to do with a bacterial infection in the animals spine.
One issue that I havent seen compared to other people is the eating of litter. I did see him lick the inside of the cat box, however.
I've read that a potassium supplement might help.
Please, please, will anyone with some expertise provide me with any answers.
Thank you.View Thread
