Emma hasn't started eating on her own, so she is going to spend today at the shelter and get some fluids and see the shelter vet. Hopefully, it is just a case of worms, or something else really easy - or maybe she'll just go there and eat because she likes their food better than mine. Either way, I don't care... just so long as she eats and comes back quickly.
As you can see, she is painfully thin, so the fact that she lost an ounce that first day was a little frightening. I went and got some goat milk and hoped that she would like that enough to take it, but she wasn't interested. I started force feeding her, and she was not a fan. It looks like she even vomited up a little.
She is active but she isn't playing. Her activity is getting you to pay attention to her. She will climb right up on you and purr, and rub all over your face. She likes to lick my nose. A lot.
I am very hopeful that this is just a blip. I should know more at the end of the day.
Poor little sweet girl... I'm hoping she gets better very quickly.
ReplyDeleteI hope Emma is okay and she can return to you soon. The fact that she has a lot of energy and loves you to pieces are great signs.
