Tonight I got home about 6 pm after going to 2 different vets, 1 to pick up Osiris (he got fixed today) and 2 to pick up Anika's meds.

When I got home I tried to give Anika some of this A/D food and she didn't want it.

So I figured I better give her this pill and give her, her liquid meds. She hates me right about now. I gave her a little water by a syringe tonight and she didn't like that either and I got pretty much covered in the liquid meds.

I've tried several times now to get her to eat and I even picked up some baby food, I think it's called chicken broth and she turned her nose up to it which I don't blame her for that at all. I think it smelled horrible.

Well if any of you have any suggestions on what more I can try to get her to eat I'd appreciate it, tuna isn't working either right now.

I'm hoping it's only because I gave her the meds and hopefully maybe after a few more doses she will be wanting to eat more.

Thanks for the prays,
Melissa

Well my husband and I last night had to force feed Anika.

It went ok. I felt so bad but as far as we know she wasn't eating any can food or eating any dry food so we felt we had no other choice.

After we forced her to eat some, I noticed she still didn't come out of the kitchen so I went ahead and sneaked up to the kitchen and she was having a few pieces of dry food!!

I was so happy. I couldn't believe it! When I watched her she only had a few bites.

This morning however she didn't want any can food or anything but my husband will try later this afternoon.

I gave her, her meds this morning and I did it slow enough or so I'm thinking I did and she through it right back up so sadly she didn't get any meds in her this morning at all only last night.

So I have to call the vets again to see what I should do now.

Thank you all so much for the continued prays & donations.

Anika and I really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Melissa

Well I just got a call back from the vets and well her thyroid test came back negative.

So that means either 1 it's a bacteria infection and will be fixed with Amoxicillin or 2 it's cancer or 3 a tumor or 4 something that we won't know till we do an ultrasound.

Please say a pray for my baby.

Melissa, I just read your entire thread on poor Anika. I really hope that whatever she has is something treatable!

Sitting here waiting for the result of Luna's FeLV-test, I know what it means to fear for the life of a beloved furry friend, and the vet bills don't make it easier...

Keeping you and your sweet Anika in my thoughts...

We will keep praying for your baby and hope that it is an infection. I don't know if you were using Gerber baby food, stage 2 as it is the better one, but you can consider mixing it with KMR or Whiskas' cat milk (it must less expensive) and she may go for that.
