Hello all,
I'm fostering an extra-sweet girl (through a shelter). She was super-stressed with all the changes in her life and, as a result, was not eating at all - she lost a lot of weight very quickly. They saw no reason that she was not eating except stress. So I started syringe feeding her, but only needed to do that once before she started eating again on her own. (yay!) She's been getting a mix of Hill's A/D (Critical Care) and Felidae (both canned) for the past couple of days. She's eating like a champ now.
I've only had the good fortune (?) of seeing her poop once (in the litterbox), but it was 100% liquid. Should I be overly concerned? I figure she is at least getting *something* in her system even if a lot of it is exiting again. I also thought maybe her body is adjusting to having food again, and the A/D is particularly rich. I hate to take her in again since going back in = more stress.
If any of you have any experience with this, your advice would be much appreciated! She is currently on my lap purring away.
