She’s currently hiding somewhere upstairs, probably thinking I’m going to bring her to the vet again. I really need to find her to separate her from Tig while I’m gone, but that may not be possible.
The good news is she came upstairs and drank some water. Didn’t eat, but I’m thinking we’re close.
Gotta go. Work calls.
And no, I’m still not getting much sleep. Up around (sigh) five this morning.
Very thin soups and broths at this point. Work towards solid food very very slowly.
The KMR route may be the best bet.
Still praying for Gracie and for you. If she’s drinking, that’s a good sign. Will keep scouting around to see if I can find any new suggestions for foods that might tempt her to eat. God bless.
Hi Meryl– I came across a product called CatSure that’s supposed to serve as a nutritional supplement for sick cats or cats recovering from surgery.
“Dietary supplement or meal replacement ensures balanced nutrition and fluid intake in senior, sick, or stressed cats. Contains highly-digestible lactose-free milk proteins, amino acids, Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and a host of vitamins and minerals.
This rich and creamy, vanilla-flavored liquid supplement is readily eaten by cats and ensures they get the nutrition they need. Made with milk proteins, but contains no lactose for high digestibility, even in sensitive animals. Formulated to complement the regular diet, or for an occasional meal replacement.”
CatSure isn’t supposed to serve as a long-term substitute for regular cat food, but it might appeal to Gracie and get her eating again. Here’s a page link: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=14075&N=2002+113617
There is no such food on this planet that will be “readily eaten” by Gracie. I’m about to write a post on the travails of getting her to eat.
