Sparty's Health

I am hoping someone can help me with some information. About 4 weeks ago we noticed one of our boyz Sparty didnt seem to be well.....then noticed that there was lots of pooh around the house and that he was squatting everywhere and appeared to be straining. We took him to the vets where they gave him an injection of antibiotics (in case it was urinary tract infection) they got a urine sample and tested but nothing came back. We have been away for xmas for two weeks (we had a friend house/cat sitting) and have found he is still not right. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, when I pick him up he feels less dense and he is very skinny. He doesnt seem to be eating well either which never used to be an issue with him before......I have noticed that there is a clear gel like stuff in his pooh also. We have been feeding him cooked chicken as he seems to like that but still not eating his normal amounts. I am taking back to the vets just to be sure but if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

I hope Sparty gets well soon!

I hope it was nothing too serious

Comment by Amanda Peachey on January 4, 2012 at 11:50am: He seems to be getting better, will keep a close eye on him just to be sure. We are feeding him cooked chicken which he seems to enjoy but if he has not put on more condition in the next week I will take him to the vet and get a full check done. His toilet has firmed up too so hopefully it was just a wee bug....

Comment by Barbara on January 4, 2012 at 9:20pm: Good to hear, I hope he will keep getting better .

@Angela: Poor Denzil, hope he gets well soon as well.
