More about Uuter…
I was extremely distraught yesterday because I couldn’t get her to eat ANYTHING (which apparently is pretty common for cats when they feel icky). As last resort, I started to put little finger-fulls of food in her mouth so she could have some sort of nutrition. After research, (thank you, interwebs!) I found out that many people have dealt with an anorexic feline and they suggested assisted-feeding with a syringe. I mushed up her prescription food with some warm water, pulled some into a syringe (we had one in the house from a previous cat calamity) and dribbled some into her mouth. After a couple sessions of this, she seemed much, much better. She even gobbled down a cat treat (or 3).
The test results FINALLY came back today and the vet told me she was suffering from a bacterial infection. She’s on Amoxicillin and the doctor will be checking on her progress in 2 days. Billy just called and said she used the box for a #2 which is promising since she has not been um, “producing” the past few days.
I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but I am so happy that my “friend” seems to be on the mend. She’s much more lively and looks to be more comfortable… Fingers crossed!
