Mitzi, I wish you could talk

[RedHedd]

She's making me cuckoo! She's eating, but not drinking water! What to do? Squirt it in her mouth w/syringe?

[Lizzie]

Is she eating wet food or dry? Is she dehydrated? Do you know how to check for dehydration? Do you have sub-q fluids at home that you can give her? She is trying your patience, isn't she!

Suggestion: cook some chicken breasts in the microwave in 2 tablespoons of water. In my microwave, a pound of boneless chicken breasts takes five or six minutes.

Then water down the broth a little bit with a water and chill it.

One of my cats LOVES this broth and Mitzi might too. The aroma might stimulate her urge to drink. Since she has starting eating, it might work.

You know..some people believe chicken broth has healing powers.

Prayers for Mitzi.

She's eating both wet and dry food. The vet gave her Sub-Q's last night as she was a bit dehydrated (I know how to check too after LOTS of experience with Mishi).

I've been cooking chicken for her - she's getting SUPER spoiled. I'll try the broth tonight too if she's not drinking by then.

Thanks, everyone!

Cassie wants to know what time she can come to Mitzi's house for a chicken dinner (I'm planning to make chicken and pasta tomorrow for supper so she will get chicken then.)

Mitzi Mitts, please feel much better very soon!! Praying for you!

Don't know how I missed this. Many prayers for you and Mitzi.

Try adding warm water to her wet food and make it goopy - it will add more moisture to her system.

Weird that she won't drink - unless her body is really craving the food at this time.

HUGS and more prayers for you and Mitzi!
