Megat on Wedneday

This is what Megat does all day. He just sits near his Dora cup and then smells it periodically. He has yet to drink from it much today.
Megat on Wednesday evening...




The good thing is Megat looks much better this week after his 2nd chemo than he had done in the 1st week. He is also not as leathrgic as the 1st time. We think its the supplements that he has - the Natural Defense with 16 mushrooms to improve his immune system as well as the ling zhi. He has to take the milk thistle as well. I have started to syringe him with water since last night. As of 9 pm he has been syringed with 50 ml of water - 20 ml in the morning and 30 ml at night. In between, he did drink but only a little. I am syringing him with water as I am afraid his Edoxan would accumulate in his bladder and then he would get blood in his urine. Tonight I had given him some mashed pumpkin instead of papaya. I think he appreciated the change :)
PS: I gave him another 10 ml of water with grandma's help before he went to bed. Grandma said he sighed twice. Poor kitty...

  3. How about tuna water?

    Solid Gold canned tuna is the brand to buy. Scoop out some tuna bits into a plate and mash it well. Add water and mix well. Ratio around 1 (tuna): 3-4 (water). Water will be infused with tuna smell. Cat will licky licky all the water, maybe even foresaking the tuna bits. Can do twice a day, depending on whether Megat can take food other than that prescribed.

    That happens to XX and YY. Try it. Better than confining him and syringing him. Easy for you and Megat.

    When XX was very sick and rejecting food, the advice from the vet was "As long as she eats, it does not matter if it is renal food. Without nourishment, the body cannot fight the disease and heal". But of course we still make sure at least 75% of her daily food intake is of the prescribed kind.
