I caretake several ferals. One of them has gradually been getting a more and more distended abdomen. She is waddling around as if she's heavily pregnant, but I know she can't be since she was TNR'd in June and I have the vet report.
As far as appetite, she eats wet and dry food twice a day.
Wet food: Gerber baby food (turkey + turkey gravy) mixed with Natural Balance Ultra Premium
Dry Food: Purina's new "natural organic" kitty kibble, forget the exact name. I consider it junk food but the wet food she's getting is quality nutrition, as far as I understand these things.
Her appetite was off last night and this AM, she ate just a little bit of her wet food before waddling away. She has also had the sniffles for about a week, which I see in a runny nose and some sneezing. Last night I think she was wheezing a bit, the way you do when your nothe is thtuffed up.
Poor darling, I know something is wrong but I don't know what I can do to help her. She is quite feral and will not allow me to touch her except for the briefest pat, and only on her terms. When she was TNR'd she also got a rabies vaccine, FVRCP, and Frontline.
Can you give me some idea what might be wrong and more important, what I could possibly do to help a little kitty who's too feral to be caught?
