I am so sorry to hear about your cat. My Gracie will be 18 next month. I have gone thru several episodes with her where I was sure she was dying. She had quit eating for over a week. I saw she was still drinking water. Figured if she could do that she could swallow she could handle this home remedy. My solution was aloe. the common garden variety, not a processed liquid. I took a long spear, sliced it open, scraped the jell, added a teaspoon of water and fed it to her with medicine dropper. Did this for days, then bought baby food and fed with dropper. Have also used aloe on places that made very bad raw places on her head. Used this full strength. Had taken her to vet, spent lots of money and it always returned. No return in over 7 years with this.
