Salty ate some on her own tonight!!!
| Sun, 06-20-2004 - 12:18am |
I had force fed her this afternoon and felt awful. I let her be alone for about an hour and then went in to check on her. Dh just got home and came to see her too. She acted like she wanted to eat some of her dry food. She kept gagging whenever she leaned down. Dh decided to put her plate up a wee bit higher, on top of a ream of copy paper. Lo and behold she started eating!!! We were both beside ourselves with joy! She ate about 1/8 cup worth of the dry Science Diet. Then she stopped, so I then gave her a nebulizer treatment. I felt bad again because I then had to give her her 2 antibiotic pills. We went out for dinner & a movie and I worried about her the whole time. It seemed an eternity and I rushed home to see her. She hasn't eaten anymore since the first time, so I just gave her some of the Nutri-Cal gel supplement under the roof of her mouth, and she swallowed it. I wish she'd finish her dry food. It was so good seeing her eat! I don't think she's had any water yet. I am about to give her her 3rd nebulizer treatment now and then we'll go to bed for some well deserved rest. I pray tomorrow she'll eat again. She is breathing better tonight, too. Less noisy.
Thank you for all the prayers....they seem to be working!
Sweet Dreams,
Suzy

Headbonks & Purrs back from Salty to sweet Daisy >^..^<
Have a good night,
Suzy
I will check with the vet tomorrow to see what she thinks. I have to return the nebulizer and have her temp taken (I tried to do it with the digital rectal thermometer, but she squirmed so much I had to give up). I will be happy when my kitty ear thermometer arrives in Tuesday's mail!
Have a good week and send lots cuddles to Sammy & Misha!

I can't wait to let her out of her isolation room...she's getting creative about sneaking out whenever I open the door. LOL
Guess what? We think our female chinchilla Cocoa may be pregnant. Her tummy felt bigger than normal when I held her last night (dh took her in to see Salty & they just looked at each other. LOL) I have no idea how to tell how far along she is. Dh wanted to have chin babies so we could get them used to being handled from the beginning, and keep maybe one of them and adopt out the others. (Our 3 adults were adopted when they were older, so none of them is real fond of being held). More animals....I may just open a zoo! Giggle!
Hugs,

I'll keep you updated,

Animals are forever - and so is their love.

Suzy, I am so happy to hear that Misha (Salty) is on the mend.
I guess you could say that
