    They aren't really doing much better, but they don't seem to be any worse. Corkscrew hasn't eaten on his own beyond those few bites he had the other day. However he does seem to be in better spirits, he is sleeping on the bed with me again and being mildly social which is usually a sign of feeling a little better.

    Tibby is not doing nearly as well as Corkscrew she is still very jaundiced and not at all social. She has spent the last few days hiding at the bottom of the cat tree. The only good news I have about Tibby is that she has managed to hold down her last five meals without throwing up which is a good thing. Before that she was vomiting at least half, if not more of every meal that I fed her. We did decide to start giving her sub-q fluids at home so that might be helping her in regards to finally keeping some of her meals down.

    So keep fingers and tails crossed that things will get better here. Thankfully Pocky is still as healthy as ever, I don't think I could have managed if all three of them were sick!

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I'm glad that Corkscrew and Tibby are holding their own. I hope they start eating on their own again very soon and bounce back from this.

    Hang in there! Healing thoughts are on their way.

    Poor kitties! You need to eat. Have you tried baby food or deli turkey? I've had good luck jump-starting kitties' appetites with those foods.

    Things are still pretty much the same over here, no major improvements however neither one of them is doing worse which I will take as a good sign. Tibby has finally left her hiding spot and spent some time looking out the screen door today with Pocky, so I will take that as a good sign. I much prefer it to her spending the entire day hiding.
