update:
She did eventually start eating tiny amounts out of my hand and drinking her water but the vet was concerned it was too little too late and suggested a feeding tube. I agreed to put it in (really really really didn't want to but i didn't want to regret it)
She had it put in on Tuesday...
I love that one of her tail too, it sums her up pretty well. She was bigger than that little hut but she loved it SO MUCH. She would try to scratch her claws on it and it would collapse under her weight. Lol. I finally had to throw it out because it was just falling apart.
Little update, opened a can of tuna as a kind of last resort and succesfully got her to drink a little bit of juice. She lapped it all up and I decided to try to give her some more with a little bit of meat and she drank the rest and took a tiny bite of the solid too!
Not ideal, but it's a...
Just had another spectacular fail trying to get her to take the medicine. Didn't get anything into her other than that liquid antibiotic. I'm afraid it might seem awful of me but I'm thinking about just stopping giving her the meds. I know there's a chance of an infection since she had surgery...
Hey thanks for the feedback. I think the meta... medication is another antibiotic. I could be wrong. I'm not sure how high her thyroid levels are but I don't think they're super high, just a little elevated. I'm supposed to give her one half of a tablet of the meth.. medicine. Maybe tonight I...
They told me she's on the antibiotics to prevent an infection because the removal of a node in the liver is kind of a big surgery. She's hyper. The thyroid medication is methimazole. They also mentioned the medicine that absorbs through the skin but they didn't have any on hand and have to get...
Here's my best friend Miss B aka Sha Beezel aka butter Beezel aka BB (somehow ended up with a bunch of B names despite being named 'Alice' when I got her on my 10th birthday). She's just shy of 18 years old and is having a slow time right now recovering from a big surgery.
(both babies...
I'm going through something very similar with my 18 year old right now who had a tumor removed from her liver last wednesday. I've gotten her to finally drink some water as of this morning (yay!) but she's still turning her nose up to food (brought her home yesterday) and her twice daily rounds...
likes to sleep on/above my head. i think theres some sort of cat-ish napoleon complex involved but after 18 years of cat pillow it's hard for me to sleep without her. sometimes wake up with my eyes irritated from her fur in the morning but its worth it.
