I don't know how well all this is going. She doesn't have much of an appetite now, even with the Mirtazapine. She doesn't give any indication of being in pain. She is still breathing steadily, and when I lie my head against her side and pet her in a couple of places, she purrrs away.

Pat, I'm sorry that giving the medications is somewhat difficult. Kitties are famous for being troublemakers in that regard.
Since her appetite hasn't improved, make sure you watch her weight.
I'm glad that her breathing is ok. You are doing an excellent job taking care of Poppy.
Love and headbumpies from Heidi and the kitties
