I can't handle the stress.

[Medusa]

You know my philosophy: people first. When you're so stressed, you can't do anyone else much good, so take some much needed time for yourself. An hour away isn't going to hurt anything but it can make the difference in your state of mind, which can help to improve how you handle things. If you can take even longer, I highly recommend it. You'll come back refreshed and able to face things more readily. Hang in there, Jen. We all have our days when we just don't feel much like eating. Maybe that's the case w/your furkids. At any rate, some time away from the situation can help.

Tuvok looks BAD Threw up this morning even though there was nothing in his tummy. I am afraid to syringe feed him. Looks like it's vet day tomorrow.

Oh boy. Well, maybe it's best not to put anything in his stomach then, poor boy. I'm anxious to hear what the vet has to say. We'll be praying for everyone, Jen.

I Think That Has To Be So Frustrating When You Want Your Cats To Eat And Be Well, And To Do Whats Best For Them. It Is Scary When They Wont Eat, I Was So Sad When Precious Stopped Taking Anything And Wasted Away.
We Are Praying For Rutherford, Tuovak And Braveheart That They Can Find Something That They Will Eat, And Regain Thier Health.

Rutherford did not eat this morning, either. And he feels bloated.

Thanks for all your thoughts.

Maybe the after effects of anesthetic has made Rutherford constipated? Or the pain meds did?

Hopefully your vet will okay a bit of olive oil or etc.

Tuvok...maybe some of that Pepcid stuff that BraveHeart took for his tummy?

And when is your 1 - 2 (or more) hour break and what have you planned? (young lady)

O, Jen!!! I know how you are feeling!!!! It is not easy to deal with ill cats. Sometimes I think the harder we try to help them, the harder they resist our care!! I recall "force feeding" Boo and Ralph. Then, just like you experienced, they threw up!!! It is so frustrating!!! YOU HANG IN THERE!!!! We are all praying and rooting for the cats and YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! MEGA HUGS!!!! Sandra
