a bit of progress


Last night I posted on FB that I was hesitant to go down and see Miss Lucy.  Before I open that door every possibility is possible (Schrodinger is in full force) and I could imagine that she ate every bit of food and was begging for more.

Finally I put on my big girl pants and went down and sadly most of the food still seemed to be there.  Maybe an ounce was gone.. maybe.  I turned and saw that some of the dry was gone - which is something.. junk calories are better than no calories at all.

Then I saw this


first firm stool since I got her!  YEA!!  Nice to know I was right about the Clav.. and just when I was starting to doubt that might have been it..   Sadly she did vomit, but it was 90% hair, so I'm not going to worry about right yet.

Lucy, like most girl kitties and quite a few boy kitties, has developed a thing for my husband..


Probably because he doesn't medicate, he doesn't groom, he doesn't poke nor prod.. I can't blame them.  He helps me water her but patting her and distracting her.  Last night I was able to get it all in her the first try with no leakage.. all in all a good night.

Now if she'd just eat, and eat heartily..

  1. That is one great firm stool! I know, only cat owners and rescuers can get over excited over a firm stool :) I know how hard it is to achieve sometimes. I hope Lucy starts eating well soon. She should, she is just a K short of lucky!

  9. WooHoo! Great photo to see (and yes, only on a cat rescue blog will you find people photographing and discussing poo... well, you might find it somewhere else, but that would just be strange)

  11. With that and the fluids let's hope she eats all her food tomorrow. I know that feeling of dreading to look in the room...
