The problem is that force feeding her is stressing her out. I tried to
syringe feed her some baby food with liqui-tinic this morning and she started
breathing open mouth and moaning. She just gets up to turn positions now and
just lays back down. I know she needs another blood transfusion but after
paying $3500 for the first two I have no funds left. Even that I was only able
to pay with the help from a friend and a GoFundMe fundraiser.
They never were able to figure out what is causing the anemia. She is neither
FIV nor Leuk pos. She tested negative for a slew of blood parasite and other
parasites they tested for. The Winstrol is my last hope but I fear that by
the time I get it she will be gone or too weak. I live in South Florida and
cannot believe that there isn't a place anywhere around here where I can't get
that. I've been calling every pharmacy in town it seems.

that if Amy is not eating, Winstrol may be helpful on that score as well, and
you cannot wait until Monday if she isn’t eating.
One thing I learned how to do with cats who weren’t eating is to take soft wet
cat food, ball it up into a ball about the size of a marble, pry open their
mouths, and lob the food to the back of the throat. Some of it gets spit back
up, but once you get the hang of it, most of it goes down. I have found that
doing it this way also seems to cause the cat to ultimately get a bit more
interested in eating, once some of the food has gone down - usually after a few
sittings though.
I agree that giving her baby food via syringe is also a good way to get food
into a cat who won't eat on her own.

I had to give my vet instructions on Winstrol and the info on how to order it.
Amy is not eating. I’m syringe feeding her baby food, Liqui-tinic, giving her
some subq fluids.
