Kiri's latest vet check--update post #120.

[Prairie Purrs]

Such a difference from a week ago! Kiri is nosing around the room, yowling to get out of the room, giving me headbumpies (and wiping her snotty little nose on my sleeve), and best of all . . .



She's starting to eat and drink without being coaxed/coerced to do so!

We still don't know what's really wrong with her, but it finally feels like she wants to fight back.

Millions of thanks to everyone who has been pulling for and praying for Kiri. We appreciate it so very much!

Oh Kiri, keep eating! You can do this, sweetie!
That is just amazing after being forced to eat for so long!

Kiri munching- how good to see this I hope she stays on the road to recovery.

Kiri is continuing to improve. It's quite amazing, when you consider how very sick she was.

She's getting subQ fluids two or three times a week now instead of every day. She's eating more than Kacey and Lily do, although she's still way too thin.

The vet still doesn't know what's wrong with her, other than a nasty bad tooth. Once she's bulked up a bit we can see about getting that extracted. And I'm sure that there'll be more tests in the future to try to find the source of the problem.

In the meantime, except for the fact that she doesn't much enjoy getting the subQ fluids, she's a pretty happy girl. She's got my home office to herself so Kacey and Lily won't bother her, and she spends hours at a time on my lap while I work/play on the computer. I think she likes not having to compete with the other cats for lap time!

I credit the power of PT (with special thanks to Mary) for pulling Kiri through. Thank you all so much!
