Well the vet asked me to try to give her food before giving her meds and I'm sad to say it didn't work.



I forced some a/d can food on her and she did really really well and I waited about 20 mins and gave her meds and she threw up all of her meds and her can food.

I'm afraid the next step will be the ultra sound.

Which will cost $150-$200.

Please pray for her.

Thanks,
Melissa

Does the med come in liquid form? Sometimes it's easier to just squirt it in and some cats have a bad gag reflex on pills, especially if the pill is bitter.

She is actually on the liquid form right now and I think that's what's making her gag more maybe.

I tried just giving her some cat milk and nothing. I feel like I'm losing my baby.

I just want to cry so bad right now.

We keep a lot of the Gerber's Stage 2 Chicken and Chicken Gravy baby food on hand for kitties who don't want to eat much of anything. That winds up being a nice tasty treat for many of them. You might want to see if Anika would like that.

Prayers and love and healing, strengthening energies are still coming from all of us.

Yes, maybe give the baby food a try. It's so gentle on the tummy. We'll keep the prayers going. Don't lose hope, sweetie.

I don't know if it's the Stage 2 but I think I tried the Beech something Chicken Gravy with her and she wouldn't touch that either

Our prayers are still with you. The CREW is pulling hard.

Ok, the vets just called me and we are now going to start on Injection shots of antibiotics.

I will be leaving work at 10:45 a.m. to make it at the vets at 11:30 a.m.

Then I will be shown how to give her the injections and I'll re-check in with the vets on Monday (she is leaving town for a vets conference at noon today and won't be back till Sunday late) and see how she's doing and then it's the ultrasound most likely.

Poor girl but the vet said that since she would eat a few bites of her dry cat food last night that's at least encouraging.

I'm praying so hard she doesn't have cancer.
