Hello,
We lost a kitty that wouldn't eat about four months ago after weeks of tests, treatments, trying to force feed, etc. We have two new kittens with coccidia locked in our bedroom/bathroom because our current kitty Jade won't eat, and now our adult cat Jade has gingivitis, has a fever, lays around lethargic and depressed, and has only eaten a few bites of food in three-four days. I'm very concerned because we've already gone through something similar with another cat just a few months ago. The vet gave her antibiotics and mirtazapine to stimilate her appetite. She's burning up and the appetite stimulant isn't helping much. It's only gotten her to eat a few bites of food a day.
I'm burned out from my last kitty passing, from work and from all the cleaning and caring for kittens locked in my bathroom bedroom because they have coccida. Now we have a sick adult cat who won't eat. I can't get a break from caring for sick animals. Jade doesn't like the new kitties, and I'm just exhausted. I've been having panic attacks at the prospect of her not eating and something happening to her since I can't access a vet again until Monday. The thought of caring for the kittens and force feeding her four times a day is exhausting. She still won't eat much even with the appetite stimulant, and I'm pretty sure the gingivitis (her gums are red and bleeding) might be the reason she is feverish and not eating. It's Saturday, and the vet is closed until Monday, and I'm not sure what to do. I've been sick and having a panic attacks. I'm exhausted and need a break, and I'm worried about my kitty. She has been drinking water, and we force fed her a bit of chicken broth, but not much. She fought us very hard. Last night she did eat a few bites of food, and a few this morning, but that's it. I appreciate any advice. I wish the vet were open. I need help!
Thanks,
Rachel
