Cassie's health

[mrspunkysmom]

Elyse, the doctor makes the difference too. Cats need dental care, some more than others. My Orangies, Sam and Bob, need it a lot. Sam once had an allergic reaction to his infection. I have to be careful with them. Spunky has had no issues with his teeth. Emily either.

Hope the cleaning helps. Filtering the water might help too.

So glad she is feeling better.

Sending pawsitive thoughts to Cassie and her "staff"........

So far today, since we got home from the vet at 2:30 PM, she has eaten one whole can of Fancy Feast and 1 1/2 tablespoons of baby meat turkey puree. The vet told me she might not eat well for a couple of days, and to offer her a variety of foods. She was in a circle of kitty in one of her hiding spots, so I slid the dish of baby meat right under there and she ate it down. So I am okay for now with how she is doing. She looks better.

This is wonderful news. I hope that she continues to do well.

I just read this whole thread and the last post is sure encouraging. I am sorry that you both have to go through this - but it sounds as though she is getting better by the minute.

I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

Good morning, PT! It is 4:45 AM and Cassie just came to tell me it is time for the first part of breakfast. (I wasn't sleeping... I have not slept very well all night.) She purred and gave me some head bumpies, and in general looks better. She ate all of the wet food I gave her after the baby meat puree last night, so I gave her more of that. She also drank some water while I was in the kitchen getting her breakfast ready - I heard her "lap, lap, lap, swallow" pattern. I wish I could work from home but that is not an option. If winter storm "Saturn" socks us overnight I might be home with her tomorrow. I can't stay home from work on a Monday. I might ask my neighbor to peek in on her around the noon hour. He is already on alert that I might need him to help me give her the fluids. I talked with Sandie (Freedom) about giving her the fluids and she gave me loads of very useful instructions and suggestions. So we will do that this evening, when I get home from work. I'm just going to keep an eye and ear on her till I leave for work at 8.

Prayers that Cassie stays on the road to improvement.

I'm so glad that you took her back to the vet yesterday, rather than waiting till today. Not only was it needed for her, but for your peace of mind too, Elyse. It's sad and frightening to see our fur kids sick, and not know what the problem is. If only they could talk.........
