Thank you for your prayers

From Friday the 14th:

You should know that Sam is much better today. He licked at some food last night and this morning. He also got a spoon of babyfood last night and another this morning. But surprise he wanted more cat food after that, AND I caught him finishing up somecat else's bowl a little later.

He has absorbed the fluids from yesterday, so he will get another dose tonight.

He was given more Sub-Q fluids tonight. The needle popped out at 100 ml so we let it go. Sam decided to hide in Happy Place number 2, an upside-down chips box from Aldi; it works like a cat cave and has some old clothes in it.

Yes, they are spoiled.


Today, Saturday the 15th:

And Sam just went after his favorite dry food a few minutes ago. Natural Balance original flavor. I'm going to pick up a can of it and see if he will eat it.

And his right cheek is very swollen just now. That side of the face has shown some swelling. The is the same side as the eye with the nictitating membrane showing and the pupil will small dilation.

Poor baby. But he is still eating. I chopped his dry food in my veggie chopper, and let him have a few bites. The rest is soaking now. I hid the bag. He just ate a half-can of DVP NB Venison.

Sam's right jaw and cheek are very swollen. he is uncomfortable and is refusing to eat. His face is so swollen he eyes are narrowing and the nose is almost recessed.

I'm going to try to burrito him and get some clindamycin in him.

I made some chicken tenders earlier. I put some water in the pan and made a juice for him. He lapped up every bit of it.

I haven't yet summoned the courage to purrito him so I ca get some meds down his throat. I will give him some more liquids tonight. I may put up all the foods and see how he is in the morning.
