Abi had a steroid shot last thursday for a rodent lip ulcer. That day she was ravenous and wouldn't stop meowing and wanting food. The hypoallergenic diet I was instructed to give her didn't appeal to her so I added her regular food. Then saturday her behavior became very very odd, she is usually a major lap cat and makes biscuits and is always a few inches from me purring like a motorhome. Now she barely purrs, stays far on the other side of the room from me and she might tolerate 5 seconds of a back scratch before she moves away. she still follows me if i go to another room, but she won't get close. Today her appetite has dropped to below normal.
I am taking her back to the vet tomorrow but I am close to hysterical ( more than close, I have been crying on and off) and sick with worry as I adore this cat and her behavior is clearly telling me that something is wrong. I feel helpless. All alone in Portland with my husband thousands of miles away and I can't make this kitty feel well.
