    Willa had a really good day today, she's eating and no diarrhea.
    She even made 2 new friends today:

    Today, Willa had her first CBC (complete blood count) after starting chemo. It looked pretty good.
    Vet visits are very stressful for her, and therefore for me. She is so sweet at home, but there, she resists restraint and tries to bite which makes the blood draw very difficult. And we have to this every 2 weeks...
    Unfortunately, she's still losing weight, despite eating ok. She weighs now 5.8 lbs, she used to be a 10-pounder.
    I will continue her meds, and hope for the best.

    Willa might gain weight more slowly than she lost it. I am glad her blood work was good and that she is eating.

    There is a recovery type of cat food that has more of everything in it - you could ask your vet about it. Maybe kitten food also.

    It's all good news so far. Willa, you need to get a tad chubbier yet.

    Thank you, Candace. I think I know what food you are talking about: We have the Hill's Science Diet version, a/d, the "a" standing for anorexic. I might try it, also because as of yesterday, her appetite has gone down again. Funny that you mention kitten food, I got her some today.
    Her appetite is such a rollercoaster, and right now my quality of life is worse than hers because it is just so stressful to make sure she gets all her meds and is eating enough.
    I would gladly give her some of my weight.
