Many prayers continue to be prayed for Star and Meowmie.....

[DJFyrewolf36]

Prayers on the way...is there anything I can do from here?

Poor kitty

Pedialyte is to put electrolytes back in the system which are lost if a cat is dehydrated or has dire-rear.
The Nutrical is a vitamin paste and the Hill's A/D is a high calorie RX food.
If she is getting vitamins by other means, then Nutrical is not necessary.
By all means, follow your Vet's instructions. I am not a vet.

Get well soon, so you can shine again, Star.

it has been a hard afternoon for me and my star, we cry together. the table across from star, she hears my pager vibrations from every notificaton(starvibes) we get! when I read your thoughts/prayers, I cried..I see they do mean a lot to me, especially for my poor helpless sweetie. you people are so wonderful & caring.

one star from each of you..

furrykidsmother, star is acting the same - not moving around at all, trying to snuggle out the soft warm blanket bowl I made for her. she doesn't want to do anything I try, so frustrating. her temperature dropped to 97.7. that's not very good. 94.0-96.0 is when they can die!

oh how I wish everyfur could talk!! all the time they only have to do being forced in the cages, get syringes/needles in, tested, putting them under then re-examed, struggling with whitecoats, scared to be in white-empty room with 'strangers' & without their meowmie/pawpie....just to tell us finally what is wrong!

medusa, thanks for an idea. I remembered I had 3cc syringe from a while ago, sterilized it then tried squirt some water into her gently, a couple of times every hour. she wouldn't fight back...hope that only meant she didn't mind & hopefully that helps! I thought of wetfood I could suck with in too but afraid it can push her over the edge or barf up. she at least had around 4cc of wetfood, salmon flavored - her favourite. rosethecopycat, we could use pedialyte after she's not that dehydrated and if A/D sounds good, we'll grab it! remember, she has a xtra-very sensitive stomach but worth trying.

sigh.. the day went sooo slowly. I can't wait until I hear the lab results, (better be today!) and take her to worst place in around afternoon then figure out the best!! I can't, won't go sleep, I'm going to stay up with her, keep an eye very closely - I'm gathering up the questions now..

THANK YOU,
..dimming star at night by meowmie..

Have you tried Liquivite? Can be given by syringe and is full of vits and minerals. When my Cally was ill she would not eat but she would lick Liquivite off my finger or a spoon

Bless you little Star

[furrykidsmother]

Gina, how is Star this morning? I sure hope that she has improved during the night. Please let us know how she is and what the bloodwork results were as soon as you know.

Good thoughts and prayers to you and Star.

brody's mum, is liquivite a prescription or can I get it from a pet store?



star is still an amaze trooper. her temperature is same, 97.6 to be exact. I stayed in the corner long night with her, that's where she wants to be. I can't tell for sure but seems that her breathings has lowered.. I had my hand on her chest most of the night when she was laying warm in my laps, her poor heartbeats went slow and slow.



thank you everyone very much for your special arms & stars for star. I'm fine, just doggy-tired. I'm only hopinh the day would go faster, for star too. she's going to be seen at 2PM. I'll still want to phone, check in for lab results, all ready hopefully.

..exhaus-gina & lone star

Gina, have you tried putting a hot water bottle under her blanket to warm her up? Also, you could put a blanket in the dryer (or microwave) for a while to heat it up. Perhaps that will warm her?

Come on Star, you can beat this!!!
