First of all, thank you for letting me share Gypsy's story with you.
She isn't FeLV+, but she is a casualty of the disease in a round about
way, (because she contracted IBD when over-vaccinated to protect her
from my +s). My new vet prescribed lots of supplements and a special
diet for her, but she's refusing to eat. I thought the chicken and
broth I made her was quite tasty; I guess she disagrees. Bruce and I
were having fish tacos for dinner and she showed interest in the cod. I
quickly poached her up some and she did eat it, not enough to keep a
bird alive, but she did eat.
This morning I screwed up my courage, wrapped her in a towel, and
syringed her supplement, Flagil, Thuja, (which is suppose to be
sublingual, but oh well...), and a bit of baby food down her. I got
most of it on her chin, the towel and me, but some did go down her
throat. I'm going to have to do this twice a day, give her Vita B12
shots twice a week and Methylpred shots every two weeks. Please say a
prayer that after putting her through all this she starts to improve.
Nina
