Et Please Pray

[moosmom]

I hope that ET will start to perk up now that she's home. How is ET to medicate?? I wish I lived closer, John and didn't have to work this weekend. I'd drive to NJ and house for you caring for your furbabies.

Thanks for keeping us posted. I thought the vets in Michigan were expensive, but WOW!!!

You and ET are still in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, Our next door neighbor loves animals and has had cats before. She comes in in the morning, feeds and plays with most of the CREW. Then in the evening she checks the dry food bowls and water, this takes aboout 1-1 1/2 hours becouse of play and loving. Then about 11 she checks again, but a shorter play time. Right now they have a beautiful brown lab (Buddy) our new neighbor on the other side also has a cat. Then there are the woman across the street (2 cats, 3 dogs). Our small street has a total o 23 cats and 11 dogs. So there is alot of support here and if some thing is wrong every one knows and helps.

John,

That must be very comforting to know there are enough people in your neighborhood that will be there to help, God forbid something should go wrong.

I'm so sorry to hear that ET is sick. I hope she'll feel better soon. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

I just talked to the vet. Poor thing went through the x-ray, two enemas and sedation. We hope that the sedation was still affecting her this morning. Tonight we are going to try some baby foods and kitten formula. I’m afraid that if she will not eat on her own that we will have too bring out the big syringe and fill it with formula and the high protein paste.
The whole thing has me worried. I just wish we didn't have the trip this week end. At anyrate if you see a large red truck with a white trailer flying south on the NY throughway on Sat. or sunday night, please move over, I have too get home. Donna you know the truck.

Oh, GILL - you and your wife must be absolutely heartsick!

Sedation can really affect a cat for a while...I pray she perks up a bit and starts eating.

ET, come on sweetie...you had a rough time, and you are tired...so eat a bit tonight, ok?

Give her a cuddle for me.

I know how hard it is NOT KNOWING what caused the problem. The constipation can surely cause lack of appetite. But what caused the constipation?

Drop her off at Luckenbach's babysitting on your way to NY....Lord knows I can force feed if necesary.
