More on Noll

We got some good news today....Noll's T4 (thyroid) is normal. It was enlarged and that was a concern.

The antibiotics appear to be working.  Noll is finally moving around.  His bean sister Corrie came home from college.  She took him outside today and is giving him TLC right now.  Noll ate a little Iams this afternoon and licked some chicken baby food for dinner.  I will try the watered down version suggested by the Cats of Wildcats Wood.  (Noll lost 2 pounds.)  Noll still isn't drinking water on his own and he has not eliminated, which was my original concern and thought of what ailed him.  I still think that is part of the problem.

Thank you everyone for the purrs and headbutts and a-roos ;)  We appreciate you!


This was taken Saturday afternoon right
before Noll started acting punky on Sunday. 
Noll was fist-pounding the front door :)

Amy & the house of cats said...

We are glad that Noll ate a bit - we hope that is just the begining. We are still sending lots of healing purrs and prayers to him.

Lisa + current cat said...

We are keeping up the purrayers and headbutts until Noll has completely recovered. 2 lbs. is an awful lot for a cat to lose.

my goodniss nollie you need a boost there! Mom gets me a tonic(vitamin), plus a shot of vitamin B12 wouldn't hurt, check out the article we sent you by e-mail. xoxoxoxo

May things slowly but surely get better.

We just came over from Amy and the House of Cats. We were happy to read that Noll may be doing a bit better. Still, we'll send our barks of love, thoughts and prayers his way to make sure he stays on that path to better health.

Paws crossed
Love

Attaboy, Noll, just keep on getting better and better! Now you have to drink some water to go with the food you ate.

Angel Ginger Jasper said...

That is such good news, I am so glad that you are improving a little. Come on little man you can do it.. You have the power of paws in your favour.. Hugs GJ xx

Daisy said...

Oh Noll, I am glad you are starting to feel better. It is so important that you eat! Can your mom force-feed you with some watered down food in a syringe (without the needle!)? Also, if you will eat some plain canned pumpkin mixed with your foods, it will add bulk and water and maybe get things moving down there. I am purring my hardest for you!

Cat with a Garden said...

Keep getting better, sweet Noll. What stories, out of the blue! Is there an explanation for what's happening, does it have a name? When Chilli was sick I gave her some extra liquid with a plastic "needle" (the ones that don't have a needle, but only a 1cm opening). The girls are purring for him to get better fast.

Tuck said...

Oh Noll, please start drinking water! We are all purring hard for you to get better!

The Island Cats said...

We're glad Noll is doing a little better! We continue to purr for him!

(if you mix some food with water, this will help with Noll's water intake even though he may not be actually drinking water)

SASS....Sammy Andy Shelly Sierra said...

Maybe all that pounding will make him thirsty! Drink Noll, drink!

Poppy Q said...

We hopes your feels better soon Noll.

When our old cat Puss lost weight at the end the vet suggested we try her on some high calorie treats, ice cream, yoghurt etc that she might like. Mum used to put caramel yoghurt on a spoon and she liked to lick that up.

Parker said...

We are hoping that Noll starts eating and using the box.
(((hugs)))

Corrie said...

Glad you looked so much better this morning, Noll. He was back to his regular complaining of wanting to be walked outside and is eating and drinking on his own. Still on his antibiotics, but is looking better.

GLOGIRLY said...

Katie and I are sending our good thoughts your way! We hope he starts to eat, drink and take care of business. Katie had some trouble following emergency surgery a couple of years ago. It was the baby food that helped her pull through.

xxoo,
Glogirly & Katie
