Puffer has been sent on her way across the Rainbow Bridge. Her x-ray proved that her lungs had not improved, in fact had gotten worse, and it was most-likely not the Basto we though it had been. So I sent her on her way...She lied quite peacefully after being given the first sedating shot, and...

Puff hasn't been doing well lately. She's not been eating well, and after administering some fluids last Friday evening I was hoping she'd bounce back. But it was not to be. I think she may be done fighting whatever it is she has. The plan is to take her into the vet tomorrow morning for a quick...

Thanks for the sweet replies. Today we're at four weeks with Puff on her Blasto meds. I've scheduled a visit for the vet to come out to the house for a check-up. Puff is still in her little oxygen "room" (bigger than the fish tank -- I made her a 4x4 room of plexiglas that allows her to move...

Nothing but more boring positives happening for Puff. She continues to eat well, take her meds, and have a positive attitude. I'm hopeful things will keep progressing, and the Blasto meds will continue to get Puff well and back to normal. I'm sure we'll have ups and downs over the course of...

REALLY good news this morning. Puff ate a whole bowl of Fancy Feast (half a can, with warm water added to make a soupy consistency). She was ready and willing. Actually got in position and ate it like a pro. It was SO good to see her wanting to eat, and being able to eat, on her own. Ack! What a...

That was going to be my suggestion. So you could at least not worry too much about it while you're gone. You and your vet make a great team! I'm sorry, I bet it was tuff saying goodbye when you left. Ick! Though rest easy, as cute little Scout will be in good hands, looked after and well taken...

This morning I was able to get Puff to eat a small amount of Fancy Feast. I stuck the bowl in front of her face and she chowed down for a while. Met with the Visiting Vet this afternoon, and she was quite pleased with the condition of Puff. She injected her with fluids with Vitamin B and B-12...

It was a good Puff day today. When I came home at lunch I wasn't able to get her to eat anything. Then as I was out the door on my way back to work, I thought about trying a bag of treats I'd bought. At first she'd have nothing to do with it, then she sort of smelled it, then scarfed one down...

Thanks, I may give it a try. So far the only thing I've gotten in her is that wonder-drug Fancy Feast (thanks katachtig). I tried yogurt, cream cheese, tuna, sardines, potted meat, and no success. My plan is to have a traveling vet come out and visit tomorrow to give her fluids, nourishment...

Oooh, and I forgot to mention that after eating she proceeded to groom herself. to Puff!

After going outside and blubbering in the woods for a while. I decided to be strong and press ahead fighting for Puff. Since there was nothing I could do about her situation today anyway, all I could do is try and try again. After watching the films for giving the pill, it still took me 5 tries...

Poor Puff. I'm starting to give up hope. I can't get her to eat anything. I haven't noticed her drinking anything. Though she just peed a little bit ago. I had her out of the oxygen just a little bit ago -- she was wanting to be out. But she almost immediately went to open mouth breathing, so...

I'm gonna run out and get some Fancy Feast, and some Tuna. Anyone have any other ideas about what cats simply can't resist? I'm not as concerned about whether or not its healthy for her, just so I can get more calories in her.

Very good videos. Her pill isn't any bigger than those in the videos. I'm just such a wimp when it comes to giving pills, especially when they're already feeling so poorly, I hate to add the extra stress. I've done it before in the past, and I tried to be confident this morning, but I failed...

Oooh, thanks. I'll take a look.
