I want to thank the people who assured me on this site what to expect.  Cricket is eating normally now and the tube was removed yesterday.  She ate well for a week and because she was tearing at the tube site they decided to take it out.  Cricket has gained over a pound back and is acting...

Cricket started to eat crunchies on Sunday.  She eats a few bites very hour or so.  I think this is a great sign.  She is due for another blood check in a couple of days.  The vet is considering an appetite stimulant.  She seems uninterested in wet food, even though that is what she ate the most...

I am back from my trip and Cricket is doing ok. Her snotty nose is back but we are dealing with it using antihistamines. She is getting 50 ml twice a day without a lot of problems. Cricket is now playing with her pom pom and sleeping all over the house and anyone who will hold her. She is...

I will try...

My 11 yr old baby cricket got a sinus infection 2 weeks ago and was placed on Clavamox twice a day.  She refused to eat with the pills but was eating.  About day 5 she quit eating and vomited green spit more than once.  By day 8 I took her to the emergency vet and they gave her sub-q fluids, a...
