She's so terribly congested, and I've tried syringe feeding her baby food, and that's been a messy nightmare. I gave her a few droppers of multi-vitamins to try building her up...most of it was spit out. Poor girl really got hit hard. Last week I went scouting out *POOF* 2, as it was trash night. I parked around the corner, and walked to the house where Sheba mysteriously vanished from just in time to see the 'owner' pull into the driveway. Matted up orange Persian #2 ran to greet the jerk who ignored the cat totally, dragged barrels out, and went inside the apartment never once showing any affection to the poor cat. Kitty #2 hangs out on the back deck, and it's not going to be easy to grab him. Can't take the risk now, but I'll not give up. I've checked the Lost & Found" book at the vet's office, and Sheba hasn't even been repoted as missing!
Poor baby! I know how discouraging and worrysome fighting the nasty URI can be, Jan! Maybe try spreading some Nutri-Cal paste on her paws and nose, so she has to lick it off. Also you can put Vick's Salve on her nose to help with the congestion .... makes the eyes watery, but helps!

Good luck, and prayers coming for sweet Sheba girl!
