UPDATE#3
Our princess is looking a little better so far:
1. No new vomits. That means tomorrow will be an entire week since the chronic vomit that started all of this >> We're afraid that the "regular" hairball vomit comes. At this moment we're still shocked/stressed about all of this that we don't want to see her stressed in any way.
2. After the Saturday enema she pooped some more on Sunday and then yesterday 2 soft stools on her litter and then some diarrhea just after 15 minutes outside the box >> I think the laxative caused the diarrhea so we stopped it. So far today no poop, but given that she's not eating too much solid this not come as a surprise
3. She's not drinking more than 5ML of water/day by herself >> We don't know if this is because we're still syringe feeding her and then giving her some water thru syringe as well. What are your thoughts? Should she be interested in drinking more water?
4. She's eating some by herself. We leave her some frozen dry treats overnight, and she's eating about 10 each night plus some kibbles that are on her bowl. We also leave some wet food and she eats about 6 times (15% of the dish) before leaving and not touching it again. This is what she does during the night mainly. As during the night we syringe feed her about 50 ML of wet food combined with water + 15 ML of pure water.
We're still worried about stopping the force feeding and see how she acts without it. I mean it has been only a week, I'm sure she's still not fully recovered about the dehydration. I'm afraid that if we "try" 24hours of leaving her alone, she will eat/drink close to nothing and dehydrates again. I'm wrong? I mean, we're still giving her less than 50% of her recommended daily intake, so that's my logic.
Any thoughts/adivce are deeply appreciated
