VICTORY! !!!!
I tried a little experiment last night. I noticed when I first got her that she tended to be a "nocturnal eater" so I skipped her dinner last night and left a plate of food out for her. When I woke up this morning, to my delight, she ate the whole plate!!! I'm so happy :) She...
Update:
She's a champ. Just fed her 1/5 can of wet food mixed with water and L-Lycine. I didnt need to wrap her in a towel or put her in my lap. I didnt even need a towel on the floor. She just sat there, cocked her head back and let me feed her. I am truly amazed. What a wonderful girl...
Thanks again all for so much love and support!!! This has been quite the journey for us both!
Figured I'd update and let you know that I just got home and Face was super affectionate, rolling over and giving me plenty of "kittie bunts" beggin for more petting :) She even had the energy and...
Just got done with feeding session 2 of 3 for the day. She still isnt eating on her own but she is swallowing and keeping down the food via syringe. I always offer her to eat on her own first but no such luck yet.
*tjcarst* - I havent contacted the original vet about the antibiotic and...
Thanks! Your words of encouragement go a long way! This past week or so has been very trying on both of us and I really need the moral support to help keep me going - it's so painful to watch her cough and sneeze and struggle just to sit some water :(
No she isnt. She was on it for 3 days (that was all they gave me) and the 2nd and 3rd days she was on it she wasnt eating :( I'll ask about going back on it if she doesnt start eating again on her own within a few days. Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize it took a few doses to kick in.
Hey guys - Thanks again for all of your help and support thought this. Here is our progress today:
So this morning I called the Humane Society for advice. They were so kind, got their supervisor on the phone and invited me in immediately for a free checkup. The first thing the doctor told...
I still can't get her to eat. She hasn't eaten since Wednesday night so we are starting day 4 with no food today. She has been drinking water though.
I feel like I've tried everything. I've tried tuna and at least 6 other flavors of wet food, one dry food and some people food (ham, turkey...
Well I bought humidifiers this morning and they have been running through the house for 8 hours now. No signs of improvement from my little girl. She still looks visible congested and very uncomfortable. I left her food "buffets" out in both her eating areas (since she is new to the house I am...

Thank you so much for the advice stephanietx. Here is the latest
She ventured out to the living room last night and sat on the couch with me which is a drastic improvement in "attitude". I was able to give her appetite stimulants last night and this morning but still no sign of eating. She...
Thanks for the replies.
Sheeshshe:
*I finally got her pill (appetite stimulant) and her liquid pain meds to go down about 5 minutes ago. Huge sigh of relief. Hope she will eat something tonight!
mrsgreenjeens:
*The pain meds were prescribed because her gums are red and teeth look like they...
My baby is 9 yrs old, 12 lbs and I adopted her from the humane society about a week and a half ago. She was doing great the first few nights but last Saturday night she started feeling crumby.
She was drooling excessively, sneezing, coughing and very lethargic. I took her to the ER on Sunday...
