Kia had a seizure

[RubyMutt]

That is so good to hear! I'm so happy she's starting to feel better!!

[Sudilar]

Can she eat a little hamburger and rice? Maybe she would like that. I know how you feel when she won't eat. It is scary and you feel so helpless. I hope she starts eating for you again. Maybe can you try a little canned chicken? I know when Killi won't eat, we try everything, but in Kia's case, you have to still be careful. Good luck. You are both in my thoughts and prayers constantly.

What happy news this morning!! What wonderful parents you have too - making Kia special foods - and catering to her every whim!

Kim, I'm so glad to hear that Kia is starting to feel better again. I sure hope she'll also start eating by herself too. I know that when my cats don't feel well it usually takes them a few days to start eating again too. Prayers are still on the way.

Wanted to give you guys a little update now. Got some thunderstorms heading this way, so I'll be shutting down the computer soon.

Kia's back to laying around. I heated up some left over chicken for my lunch and on a whim whether it makes her itch or not, I gave her a tiny piece and she gobbled it up.

I then shared some cottage cheese with her and she gobbled that up. So she got a little more food into her. Not much....but she held it down.

Mom and dad had some Open Houses and a Graduation to attend, and I think afterwards are going to pick up some Pedialyte from the store.

Sue, I'm pretty sure she's allergic to beef and she's shown no interest in rice at the moment.

Depending on the weather, I'll try to give another update tonight.

I'm glad Kia ate a little food for you!! Doesn't eating a little make you very happy! (I know it does when Killi eats.)

I wasn't sure what she was allergic to. That makes it really hard because you can't tempt her with all those tantalizing foods that she might otherwise eat (like steak). Can she have salmon? Good luck and I'll be waiting for an update. Hope the storms aren't bad by you.

Glad to her shes doing better and keeping food down! Hope to hear more from you soon

Is she allergic to fish? If not (very unlikely to be) then I'd try some whitefish mixed with rice. She may go for that. Salmon is something that she'd probably eat, but it's very high in fat (compared to other fish), and may be a little rich for her digestive tract just yet.
Chester has allergies to beef, lamb, turkey and chicken, so it's very hard to tempt him with the normal tempting foods, but the fish usually works, and he's not allergic to it.

Kia eating a little is such happy news!

Hope the storms aren`t too bad!

I'm pleased that she's drinking, Kimmy, and that she has eaten some small bites. I'm sure she still must feel lousy. Maybe by tomorrow, her appetite will start coming back. I hope so!! And I wouldn't be discouraged if she wants to lie around. She's been through a lot and her body is probably still very weak. Healing will come through rest. Have a great evening!!!

Here's an *indirect post* from Tubby & Peanut's Mom & Dad
(Debbie & Terry)

They're "On The Road Again" and can't post directly,
but Dad'z been trying to keep em inna loop - they gotta read their e-mailz
over the cell dinger.
Here's Deb's last note ~

Kim,
I'm sooo glad to hear Kia was well enough to go home.
With you, Grandma and Grandpa doting on her,
she's sure to be all better in no time.

Hugs to you, and give Kia some belly rubs from me.

when alex had his last bout of gastritis, i gave him very small amounts of human baby food- beechnut. gerbers, mainly the chicken, rice, veggie mixtures (how do skin kids eat that? ), no added salt and other preseratives. since kia has allergies, consider a health food store brand- might be a bit pricy, but worth it.

I just got home, and this is the first thread I checked! Glad to hear sweet Kia is home! I hope she'll start eating more soon...but I think it's pretty normal that she's not. When Nebo was a bit sick as a pup (sort of a cold) he wouldn't touch rice, cottage cheese, beef, etc....I'm sure she'll start eating again when she feels better. {{{HUGS}}} to you both!!

I'm so glad you're with your folks and not alone. They sound super. Whenever Cody was under the weather, he tended to drink a lot of water. Kia's poor system is still traumatized from being zapped from both ends. But the great news is that Kia no longer had the runs....I just thought of something, which Cody loved, plus the vet said was good for him, try adding garlic powder to the warm no sodium chicken broth. Cody loved it with his kibble and boiled chicken.

Keep eating, prescious one, so your humans can stop worrying about you!
