Thanks for the welcome Jerry, and I have to say the site is a great find, but no site is complete without the great crew of 'pawrents' who you have attracted, well done to you.

For anyone who liked the picture, thanks, it is Elliott and his best friend puskins, both of who were rescued from bad situations, Elliott from the pound and the cat turned up on our doorstep 3 years ago severely injured but who made a full recovery apart from her tail which is off centred and affects her balance ever so slightly.

I went to the vet this afternoon and god some meds for Elliott, they are called Meloxidyl, and we give it to him twice a day now.

Thanks again for the advice on home cooking, he ate well this evening and polished off a nice bowl of rice, chicken with a chicken stock cube mixed in.

Will let you know how he progresses. (I can hear him dreaming as I am typing)

One last thing, he seems to find it hard to go to the toilet, is there anyone with any ideas how to loosen his stools?

Ta folks.
