Hello everyone..thanks so much for the wishes and thoughts it makes a big difference, knowing I can share with other cat lover's mine and Tinkerbelle's dilemma.
Tinkerbelle came home last night after being at the vet's for about 28 hrs. To me it seems the lethargy is pretty much gone. She could sleep without being all hunched up, was/is not restless, but she was exhausted, I assume she didnt get much rest at the vet's. She is purring again, talking, giving her sweet little kisses when asked, and just participating in the day. This morning I woke up and she was practically on top of me asleep, all snuggled up, which is unusual, as she does sleep on the bed but at the end. That was so nice.
She's fully aware of her surroundings and although she had ZERO interest in food at the vet's even when I tried to give it to her, she is interested here and was the moment she was out of her carrier.
She ate 10 or so pieces of her Royal Canin dry food, 4 Whiska Lickins and some of the wet. She managed to keep all of that down. Around 4 in the morning she woke me up asking for food, I gave her another four Whiska Lickins. She ended up giving those back an hour later. I fed everyone (have three other Persians) around 9:30 this morning. She ate and has also managed to keep that down so far.
She has a purple 'bracelet' on, that covers where the IV was, that she really wants off, she's washed it umpteen times and is pulling with her teeth at the stitches, I'll bet it's itchy under there.
She also groomed herself thoroughly, which she hadnt in awhile.
She'll be going back this afternoon and every day ending Monday (when her intramuscular injections of Baytril end) At this time she can also have an antacid, which will be dicussed.
They told me if we cant resolve her situation, that the next step is an endoscopy. I believe that would be upper GI, rather than lower.
To think this all began with a UTI.
I will report back, any new changes with her treatment, to keep you informed and hopefully help someone else that might have the misfortune to experience something the same or similar.
