Salty ate some on her own tonight!!!

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

I agree! Misha is a beautiful name for a male OR female kitty! I just wish she'd start feeling better so I can see how she responds to her new name. She's hardly been drinking at all since Sunday. I tried forcing some small amount of water down her with a syringe tonight. She keeps spitting out her medicine. LOL After 2 or 3 tries we usually get it down her, though. ;-) She's eating 1/4 cup or less of dry food a day. I hope she starts feeling more energetic & hungry/thirsty soon. I hated to leave her all day when I was at work today. I'm sleeping with her for awhile overnight to make up for it.

Hope your Misha & Sammy are having a good evening!
