OOh Posie, all the best at the vets.
I have a 16 year old one as well, have you tried a chicken breast as a treat?
My old one is like Lazarus, but as soon as he gets a sniff of chicken, He's like a kitten again!!

How To Give A Dog A Pill

1. Wrap it in bacon.

2. Toss it in the air.

Oh Taff, you have cheered me up this morning, truly you have lol! :))

Morning everyone :))

Rose, forgive me ... have been reading about your puss, has been hard of late to speak on the boards.

Do hope Buttons will be okay. I 'lost' one of my lovely cats last year, yet my other one has taken the house over,bosses my son's dog Cass who is soooooo much larger than her lol!

We make a little bed in the cat basket, put some cat biccies in and leave the door open. Once in and happily munching, we quickly close the door.

Many years ago I had JennyJemima who was very poorly at the same age ... she lived to be 18/19 years.

Am thinking of you and Buttons.

Taff, you little minx, you! :-))

Rose, hows about some catnip? We can usually tell with any of our five, if they're not responsive to that, that they're not well.

Good luck with little Buttons.

Hi Everyone .
Thanks all for you concern your all very kind.
Managed to get the cat in the box she wasnt happy.
The vet says there is nothing wrong with her , no temp lo lumps or bumps, he said shes in great health and for me not to worry .
he said for her age she is in tip top condidtion , also take her back if she is still not eating in a couple of days.
Ive just given her some chicken and shes eaten most of it , must have been the fresh air she had.
once again thank you all for you concern .
