Melody cat

Couple of suggestions that I got from the vet. Tuna fish and baby food. Get the

small jars of baby food, meat of course, just the ones without the veggies. If

she won't eat this get an eyedropper, mix the meat with water until kind of

runny and feed it to her through the side of her mouth. You may need to have

someone help you. Do this also with water if you don't see her drinking. The

other thing to try is get some tuna fish and see if she will eat that...then

slowly add some of her food to it. Fish is very addictive to cats and although

not really good for them, it can help a cat over the hump. Try this fish thing

first. If you have a Trader Joe's there they have a tuna just for cats.

Otherwise any cheap kind of tuna will work. Then the baby food. You have to get

her to eat. And keep her drinking. Check her litter box for both urine and

" poop. " You can't wait long for a cat not eating or drinking or you/she are in

serious trouble. And it sounds like she is definitely in trouble. Try these

things immediately. They are simple and cheap. Keep her warm, keep her close to

you so that she will feel loved and sometimes that will help too! Let us know

how it is going and I am so sorry.

well, she seems to have taken a turn for the worse now. she's not wanting

to eat the raw stuff; i mixed some other food into it, and she ate that, but

she's weak and seems to be losing strength in her back legs. i gave her some

subcutaneous fluids for her kidneys and tried to hand-feed her. she tried

to

jump up on the couch but didn't make it, and fell; usually when she falls,

she gets right back up, but now she just lies on her side for a while. i had

to pick her back up. i've already spent a few thousand dollars in vet bills

on

her this year-- i'm in ridiculous debt now-- and he doesn't ever seem to do

much for her, and i don't have the money to take her there again, or to

another

one. i don't know what to do. i think she's dying.

well, the good news is, she ate well this morning and seems to be in

better spirits again. i think she may have hurt one of her back legs,

although it doesn't seem to bother her when i touch it-- it's just

that she's walking really oddly on her back legs. i'm going to keep

an eye on her and if it doesn't get better, i guess i'll have to take

her back to the vet. she came out of her hiding spot to get combed

this morning, and she's been using the litterbox, which is good news.

 

ugh. this is incredibly stressful.

 

thanks for your kind words and support.
