Yes, to us it was costly and I am being SERIOUS.

I never-ever knew a cat could stop eating and in some cases they will not automatically start back.
They will actually Starve-to-Death because they do-not start eating again, sad.


Oh, it does not take long for them to die from not eating.


I'm glad things ended-up working out for your Cat.

Yes, if I didn't tell you there would be no-way to know that even took place.

Thanks from Rascal and Myself.


Did the doctors tell you whether the cause was just a hairball or not?

I do know they did look to see if they saw hair or anything else in that Blocked-Area that was Removed.
It was actually sent to Pathology Lab to be Analyzed.
It came back clear, no-cancer, no nothing.
So, it might be that he had that from Birth and it continued to deteriorate as he aged.
The above ^^^ comment is what they said and what Cathy & I also think.


He is now on a Mixed-Diet to help insure this does not take place again.
This has to be APPROVED and RECOMMENDED by your Vet.


Rascal eats more now than he ever has
