:) thanks everyone!!! We are happy too!! Let's hope we keep up the momentum :) :)

VICTORY! !!!! I tried a little experiment last night.  I noticed when I first got her that she tended to be a "nocturnal eater" so I skipped her dinner last night and left a plate of food out for her.  When I woke up this morning, to my delight, she ate the whole plate!!!  I'm so happy :)  She...

Update: She's a champ.  Just fed her 1/5 can of wet food mixed with water and L-Lycine.  I didnt need to wrap her in a towel or put her in my lap.  I didnt even need a towel on the floor.  She just sat there, cocked her head back and let me feed her.  I am truly amazed.  What a wonderful girl...

Thanks again all for so much love and support!!!  This has been quite the journey for us both! Figured I'd update and let you know that I just got home and Face was super affectionate, rolling over and giving me plenty of "kittie bunts" beggin for more petting :)  She even had the energy and...

Just got done with feeding session 2 of 3 for the day.  She still isnt eating on her own but she is swallowing and keeping down the food via syringe.  I always offer her to eat on her own first but no such luck yet.  *tjcarst* - I havent contacted the original vet about the antibiotic and...

Thanks!  Your words of encouragement go a long way!  This past week or so has been very trying on both of us and I really need the moral support to help keep me going - it's so painful to watch her cough and sneeze and struggle just to sit some water :(

No she isnt.  She was on it for 3 days (that was all they gave me) and the 2nd and 3rd days she was on it she wasnt eating :(  I'll ask about going back on it if she doesnt start eating again on her own within a few days.  Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize it took a few doses to kick in.

Hey guys -  Thanks again for all of your help and support thought this.  Here is our progress today: So this morning I called the Humane Society for advice.  They were so kind, got their supervisor on the phone and invited me in immediately for a free checkup.  The first thing the doctor told...

I still can't get her to eat.  She hasn't eaten since Wednesday night so we are starting day 4 with no food today.  She has been drinking water though. I feel like I've tried everything.  I've tried tuna and at least 6 other flavors of wet food, one dry food and some people food (ham, turkey...

Well I bought humidifiers this morning and they have been running through the house for 8 hours now.  No signs of improvement from my little girl.  She still looks visible congested and very uncomfortable. I left her food "buffets" out in both her eating areas (since she is new to the house I am...

Thank you so much for the advice stephanietx.  Here is the latest She ventured out to the living room last night and sat on the couch with me which is a drastic improvement in "attitude".  I was able to give her appetite stimulants last night and this morning but still no sign of eating.  She...

Thanks for the replies. Sheeshshe: *I finally got her pill (appetite stimulant) and her liquid pain meds to go down about 5 minutes ago.  Huge sigh of relief.  Hope she will eat something tonight! mrsgreenjeens: *The pain meds were prescribed because her gums are red and teeth look like they...

My baby is 9 yrs old, 12 lbs and I adopted her from the humane society about a week and a half ago.  She was doing great the first few nights but last Saturday night she started feeling crumby. She was drooling excessively, sneezing, coughing and very lethargic.  I took her to the ER on Sunday...
