    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

    We're all on your side Jen. You do so much for so many kitties in need. Your stress level right now is understandable. Please, take some down time away from home and a very difficult situation. You not only deserve a break, you need it
    FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE

    Oh no! I'm sorry, Jen. We'll say an extra prayer for Tuvok and you.
    Blessings,

    Oh, Jen... I am so sorry.. you have really been hit big-time over and over lately.

    My kitties and I are all praying and meditating and chanting and sending good healing vibrations to your kitty family and YOU.

    I will be glad to chip in to help with the vet bills, too.

    I join the chorus urging you to take a bit of time off JUST FOR YOU. Please get a bit of rest and peace of mind. You have done so very much for so very many cats, especially these three.

    Love, hugs, and purrs,
    Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, and Priscilla Angel
