Holly is home
I was able to bring Holly home this evening. She has been following me
around just as she always does. I was afraid Duffy would be annoyed by the "hospital scent" that cats carry home from veterinary visits, but he didn't. I did use a cloth to pet each of them and transfer scents, but I'm not sure even that was necessary. They accepted each other from the first minute. Holly has only eaten a few bites of food. There did not seem to be any problems with her mouth, but it is important for her to get some nourishment. I hope she will eat more in the morning. *My* big test will come tomorrow morning. Holly has always been very difficult to medicate, and now I have *three* medications for her. Holly's veterinarian has been very caring, and he called a few hours after I got home to see if everything was going alright. He is so considerate that it really isn't right to refer to him as TED.

MLB ~~~~~~~~~ That's true, and I'm sure that is how Holly feels (probably much the same way I thought about our family dentist when I was a child). Holly was calm at the hospital when I was in the room with her, but she hissed and looked angry when anyone else entered the room. Poor little girl was probably traumatized. MaryL |

Make sure Holly get wet food at least for the next little while. Best wishes for a full recovery. -- Winnie |

My concern right now is that she isn't eating much at all. It is important to get some nutrition into her. She isn't touching either her regular Wellness or the K/D from the vet. I just bought some freeze-dried raw chicken that I dehydrated for her, and she did eat a little of that. I hope she will eat some more later. Holly was never the terror you described. She just showed her annoyance at everyone in the clinic. She is back to her normal loving personality now and follows me around like a little shadow, although she is sleeping more than usual (even more than usual for a cat!). MaryL |

If you have a blender, blend up some cooked chicken into a paste if she has had teeth removed until her gums recover. Is she doesn't eat it, paste it on to her upper palate, she can't avoid it then. and she will have to lick it off and swallow it. I am very experienced about getting CRF dogs and cats to eat (so says my vet) I would never give up on first diagnosis. Tweed |

So glad to hear that Holly is home and doing well. Never thought
Duffy would not accept her back, scent and all. We will keep purring and praying for Holly, Duffy and you. Please take good care of yourselves. Lily & her mama "MaryL" wrote in message ...

I will add it to my list of "smorgasbord" for Holly. I tried Fancy Feast this morning, and she ate every bit of it. I don't think FF is as healthy as what you described or the other food I have, but it is almost like a pate--so it would be easier on her mouth while it heals. Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to give up. She is my baby and deserves the best care. MaryL |
