-> May I add my condolences to you and Poc-Poc, he's been
-> throught a very painful experience, and it must make
-> you feel helpless.
Thanks for the condolences.  We have been through quite a battle.  He is
out of pain now.  His main problem now is hunger.  He hates the k/d
special food that the vet has him on and will eat it only as a last
resort and then only a little.  He is a large cat, but he is thin as a
rail.  He got out of the bedroom and got into some dry dog food and was
woofing it down with a relish.  I feel so sorry for him.  He has never
liked canned cat food.
-> I kept 250 mg VC tablets on hand and broke them into
-> 8 pieces and popped them down the affected cat's throat
-> every hour or so.  This kept them comfortable until I
-> could either get them to the vet or get a prescription
I am so glad for this information.  I had another cat with the same
problem a couple of years ago, but never did I hear this.  If I had
known, I might have saved him a lot of pain.  The vet gave him some
pills to take, but they were white and I was never quite sure what they
were.  He is really good about taking tablets.  Not so the pink liquid
antibiotic.  If he smells it, he gets under the bed.  I have to be
quick!
Have a good day -- thanks for the info.
