Nina - I am so sorry that Gracie is not feeling 100% - I just read this message - I am so praying that she is going to bounce back very very soon! Ginger did not eat on her own over week - but then her appetite came back all of sudden, and I am hoping that Gracie will do the same..
Keep me posted with the progress.. I will be thinking of you and Gracie. Love and hugs..

I've been assist feeding the "chicken tonic" every hour, hour and a half. I'm also following a holistic remedies plan set up by Darla that's keeping me tapping little amber bottles all day long. Gracie still isn't eating on her own, but she is showing more interest today. She even took a lap or two when I put some ProPlan sardines and crab meat down in front of her a little while ago. I can tell her stomach is bothering her, (not surprising since she hasn't eaten on her own for a few days now), I'm hoping it isn't something more than that. I did try using Cypro transdermal for appetite stimulation, it didn't help. I also gave her a dose of Reglan for her cramps, it didn't seem to help her discomfort. Maybe I'll up the Slippery Elm I'm mixing in the chicken tonic. I'm pleased to report she has started to perk up emotionally. She even jumped from her chair onto the bed tonight while I was changing the sheets. She wasn't able to 'help', (well, hinder, really), as much as she usually does. All she could do was play 'lump 'o kitty' under the sheet as I lifted it over her again and again. She couldn't pounce, and didn't move, but I watched her face and she was attentive and engaged. Tonight I'm hopeful again.
