Hello! I know I'm new around these parts. I also know more than a few of y'all have dealt with HL. We just started treatment today on our 7 year old cat, Callie. I'm syringe-feeding her, trying to find the groove with how often and how much.
Some things about Callie:
She will not eat. (duh?)
She will drink when I set her next to the bowl...but is not proactive.
She will urinate when I set her in her litterbox... otherwise she'll go on the floor.
She's on Cyproheptadine for appetite.
She's on Lactulose for ammonia.
She's got a bowl of food, just in case.
She's getting Royal Canin Recovery RS (for now... I'm open to other options)
She's in a quiet room, separate from everyone else, because her brother will eat all her food...sometimes brothers do that.
Some things about me:
I have a spreadsheet with times and doses and whatnots of her treatment.
I have a raging headache.
I'm trying to be hopeful and positive...but I'm remaining cautious and realistic.
I'm so glad to have some safe place to talk about this with knowledgeable people.
Anyway. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Thanks for reading.
If you have any tips or tricks or testimonials or support or anything... I could use it.
