Hello everyone, A little more update today. I wish could say that things are much better but I cant. Barrie and I are getting some of the liquid food into Jasper but it is hard and we feel for him so because he really does not feel like us messing with him. I think though that he realises that we are trying to help him but he looks at us so sadly. We are syringing the liquid food into jasper and it is making a mess of his lovely fur. We got the meds into him by crushing and mixing with the liquid. Jasper is still making no attempt to feed himself and is so lethargic and frail looking. I cant tell you how worried we are. We will use the last of the liquid stuff and then in the morning try the canned medicinal food watered down by syringe. I am beginning to think that if it was an infection surely he would be picking up now. I hope I am wrong and that he turns the corner soon. Jasper is not even trying to clean his fur where it has spilled and that is not like him as he is usually so clean and hates anything on his fur.
Come on my little man turn that corner please.
Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments and please excuse me for not visiting at the moment..
Love to all Carol and GJ xxxx

Carol, I *know* how stressed and worried you are--most of us understand it from personal experience. I wish I had the power to help you through this and help GJ turn that corner and be well.
Please just know you're in my thoughts and prayers and that the boys are purring their hardest for GJ.
I light a candle for you all at www.gratefulness.org.
Peace and Blessings.

We are worried along with you...GJ, PLEASE pick up and eat a little! Our best thoughts and prayers are coming your way. Hang in there.
Love, Trish, Scott & The Kats xx
Oh, JG...we, too, are so worried about you. And Carol, we know how anxious you must be, too.
Our Teri is off work for the next 4 days and has Skype, if you think it might help to talk with her about GJ.
Has your vet talked with you about installing a feeding tube to help GJ? While this may sound gruesome and extreme, they do a lot of them at the cat hospital where Teri works and the kitties do well with them, as you can get 40cc of food into them 3 x a day and not make a mess of their furs or stress them.
With kitties not eating, they often go into pancreatitis or hepatic lipidosis...that is when the cat hospital does most of the feeding tube treatment...
We are sending lot s and lots of love and purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!

Oh, carol, we are so sorry to hear this. We are all pulling for GJ to be better. Hang in there. You have lots of support and prayers from around the world. We all hope today is a ether one for poor Ginger.
Hugs andWoos ~ Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning, and Mom
Come on gJ, help Mom and Dad out a bit please, they could use a little encouragement from you. I hope your Mom gets to Skype with Teri, smart she is. We love you GJ and we still have the purrs coming full steam.
Oh GJ we are purrring for you and your people! Please feel better soon and stop worrying your pawrents so!
I'll say a prayer for him. Sometimes it takes longer than we wish to see some positive results. Hugs to you and GJ
Paws crossed for you and your people! Get well soon!
Hopeful Kisses and Tail Wags,
Dachshund Nola
Come on sweet GJ, eat up!!! We are purring and purring for you!!!!!
Oh my goodness. :-( I am feeling really weepy now. I'm so sorry Carol and Barrie - what you both must be going through now. It sounds as if sweet GJ's completely exhausted by whatever this is BUT I really really really hope that he finds the strength to fight this infection. I really hope so. He was doing so well and was looking so good so I know he can fight whatever this is. I hope the vets come up with something asap too. I have everything crossed for you all and will keep on sending tons of healing hugs too. Take care

How worrying for you. We are feeling so sad for GJ because he is obviously not feeling good at all. We will really purr for him to turn a corner. If he does have an infection, it is not surprising that he has no appetite. Poor fella.
Hi All, we are sending Ginger Jasper all our best thoughts and wishes to get better soon. We love you little fluffy one. If you don't get better soon, Rory said he will come over and clean you himself. Now you don't want that to happen. Seriously, come on little man, get well soon. Hugs to all. No worries (especially for you GJ) and love, Stella and Rory
It hurts us all too, to know that our furry friends are ill. Please know we are praying for your sweetheart, Ginger J.
We are sending our best purrs to you and our Mom is sending as many positive thoughts as she can for GJ to start feeling better soon!! We know you can do it, GJ. Everyone loves you.
Jasper, your parents really love you and need you to get better! We're sending our best prayers for your quick recovery.
We're worried too but we believe in the power of the purr and kitties around the world are sending lots of purrs to Jasper to get better soon! We've been purring and will continue to do so until he is well again. Hugs to mum and dad too.
GJ, we are all so worried about you and know how hard this must be for you and your mum and dad. We pray and purr for you everyday that you can beat this. (((HUGS))) and love to you.
Come on, Jasper. Eat something, OK? You'll feel better once you do.
Have you tried baby food? Sometimes something with beef or chicken (and no onions) will help start a kittie up again.
Dad has just force-fed little pieces of chicken into a couple of us when he was getting desparate to get us to eat, and it seemed to help. (we got better after than, anyway) Just push it down like a pill. At least it gives the kittie something to digest.
Some on, Ginger, we're all purrrrrrrring for you.
Frankie's MOM here. We were away for the first of this distressing situation. I don't know if your vet checked to see if G.J. could possibly have a problem with a tooth/teeth. OR if the vet checked for some obstruction in his throat.
I feel so badly for the poor fellow. I hope that he improves quickly.
Oh that is so hard. We had to do that to Chey for a week--but at least we knew what it wasn't with her. Our thoughts to you and the kitties will purr hard for Ginger Jasper-
Please, dear little fur-baby, c'mon and be better, try ... we are all pulling for you.
Speshul purrs and purrayers fur you, GJ. You can do this, dood. We haf faith. xoxo
We're keeping our paws crossed for better news tomorrow. Feel better GJ!
We must have faith and believe the medicine will work! You were strong and healthy before this situation began. Something has hit you hard but you must fight, precious one. You must! Could you have possibly eaten something toxic to you? All that time alone, you could have become bored and eaten something you shouldn't. We think that your mum and dad should talk to Teri. She has seen so much in her experience. Every piece if information might just be the one to solve this terrible puzzle. We are praying very hard for you. All of our love.
I know what you must be going through as I had a cat with diabetes and needed constant care.
I do hope GJ feels better tomorrow.
I will be thinking of you all.
Yvonne.
We are keeping you all in our purrs and prayers.
Feel better Jasper.

Thanks for the update. The purrs and prayers are still going out to you. When Mom and Dad had to feed Sniffie they made a huge bib with a towel and wrapped her almost completely with it. She still got food on her furs, but it was easier. Mom would hold the towel and Dad would feed her.
