YouI know. it's so hard to let yourself celebrate. You're afraid of jinxing it right? I know the feeling, believe me. These diseases are a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Youre exactly right!! Everytime I think her appetite is improving she turns around and stops eating. I just wish we could go a week with her eating well. But again, I am happy that she's eaten pretty well the last 4 days. Thats a start. Not having the feeding tube in is of course complicating things a lot. I would like to avoid syringe feeding her because it seems to stress her out and shes stressed enough as it is! Anyway, shes been good for a few days so
Thanks Finnlacey!! So far shes been eating relatively well, especially after we started her on the cypro so Im defenitely going to keep her on it! Its sad to see her so lethargic. The only time she gets up is when she wants to eat but I suppose thats ok. As long as she's eating!! Good to know about the oil. What are kitty wipes and where can I find them? I was planning on calling the vet tomorrow if she still hadnt pooped. Ill keep you posted. Thanks for your help againThe cypro definitely makes them very tired but she needs to continue eating and her body will get used to it. The oil around her fur, that's because her body is so out of whack. This happens quite often with kitties that have gone through this. Try wiping her down with some kitty wipes if you can. The not pooping for 2 days though concerns me. If she still hasn't pooped tomorrow I'd call the vet.
Hahah.. Will do. Ive never wanted to see poop this badly in my life! The things I look forward to these days!!!You're so welcome. It's wonderful to hear that she's eating. Yes, I know it's awful to see her so blah like that but keep in mind that it's not forever! She needs this nutrition badly and there will come a day when she's eating fine on her own and you can take her off of it. Kitty wipes are like baby wipes. I get the ones that are from Tropiclean and they are free of any perfumes or additives. If you want for now, just take a plain paper towel, nothing else and soak it in water and try wiping her with that and see if it helps. Keep us posted on her poop!
