But when is it time to force her? is that possible? if you want to give her a chance, go to the grocery store and buy some all meat baby food. make sure there is no onions in it. Try putting some on your finger and see if she'll lick it off. if not, wipe your finger with the baby food on the roof of her mouth and normally she will swallow it. Try to tempt her with real cat food during this time, but if that doesn't work at least something will be getting in to her. if she doesn't gain her strength enough to heal from her injuries, she isn't going to make it. injuries require calories in abundance to burn in order for the body to do it's work. -- You had your cat fed with a feeding tube, right, Cheryl? I wonder if that might be Buzz's best option not that it has been so long since Patches has eaten. |

Please keep us posted. We have all been there with very sick cats. I know it is harder on you the way it happened. I really hope she pulls through. she just tried to walk as i was typing the update post.. she is sitting straight up.. I cant believe what i am seeing!! I seriously think if i can get her to eat.. that she will heal in the next six weeks just like the doctor said. I am giving her theropy.. i move her legs until i feel resistance. and she pulls back. i keep her front legs exercised.. by rubbing them.. then.. she curls her feet and pulls my hand towards her. i do this for about 5. 10 mins. I pat her on the back.. to keep the fluid from building up.. i have been up with her many a night since it happened.. and have seen her improve alot.. and if there is a chance in hell i can get her to eat. i can see her getting better. She has motor control over her legs. .but her back wont support her weight just yet.. she talks to me.. when i ask her how she is doing.. All this is very very good in my head.. she is not gurgle'ing at this point.. i just got dont beating her chest .. and she allows me to do this without getting upset. She has allways been a very passive kitty.. and pretty much allows me to do as i please.. to an extent.. I am very hopeful.. the gf is 8 years younger than myself.. and if it wasnt for her.. i might have put her down that first day.. however.. i see alot of improvement. I am praying for a miricle. and .. if I can diagnose her.. i see her healing .. with a limp in the future.. .with a good four to five years of life left in her.. and the gf wont have the feeling of guilt .. and i wont have the feeling of selfishness. Thank you, jeff |
