I'm so happy to hear you've decided to postpone the ultrasound. I
would never have advised you either way, because of the 'damned if
you do, damned if you don't' reasonings we're all too familiar with.
After reading your post about her soaring temp at the ER, I just
couldn't help thinking tha
That’s a great news Michelle! Is
she getting the fluid the meantime?

I actually postponed the AC phone call too, because it was scheduled for 10
pm last night just so I could talk to her before the this morning's ultrasound,
but I decided to postpone the ultrasound and wanted to go to sleep. I have not
rescheduled it yet. I may do it later today or tomorrow.
Yes, I am still giving her 150 cc of fluid per day, and also syringe
feeding her. But I am syringe feeding her less to try to see if she will eat
some on her own. I normally syringe her about 90 to 100cc's of A/D per day and
yesterday did only 60. I plan to do only 60 today too.
Thanks,

Hi Michelle,
You may want to syringe her a bit more, an adult cat needs between
5.5 and 6.0 ounces of food to maintain their body weight, although tiny
cats like my Shelbee don't eat anywhere near that much (Shelbee weights
about 7 pounds).
You may want to stick with the 100ccs of food, b
Belinda, when I give her 100 cc's it is an entire can of A/D. I do
not add very much water in-- just enough so I can suck it up into 6 and 12
cc syringes. So I have been giving her a whole can of A/D on most days, with
vitamin tabs, lysine, and other immune support capsules mixed in. I jus
That sounds good, I had to add more water to the AD because I was
feedig Buddie through a tube and it had to be watered down a bit more.
It sounds like she is definately feeling much better. I've been told
that kitties try to cover their food to hide it from other animals so
they can come

I counteract the watering down by adding a teaspoon of
Nutri-Cal to the mix, it bumps the calories back up without thickening it up too
much to syringe. She may even lick the Nutri-Cal off your finger on her own,
sometimes mine do that when I ask them nicely and make a big fuss over it being
That is wonderful news Michelle, I have my fingers crossed for you ;-))
