They were going to give me a lesson at the vets today about doing the subQ at home, but had an emergency sick dog and everyone was distracted, so tomorrow.
I'm cautiously optimistic she was on my lap purring earlier and ate a little baby food and some cold cut turkey. Not the best, but something. And i have been giving her some nutrical on top of it, which is high in calories and nutrients. She looks better, I know it won't be forever, I just want to do what I can for her without causing her too much stress and do what I can before it's her time. She has been battling many health issues in the past few years, and there is a time to acknowledge that she has fought the good fight for a long time and let her rest in peace. She has come back from death's door many times. There is a reason they call her one of their "miracle cats" at the vets office.
Aoi Chan, thank you for your input on those medications, and none of them are in the picture and if you had taken the time to read the posts you'd have realized that the younger cat was introduced before I knew that somewhat acute CRF was the issue with the older cat. All I'm going to say on that subject is that I am an experienced enough cat owner to know that tossing a kitten into this mess, well I'm hardly that ignorant, the young cat is already here and I'm careful to keep them separated, nd I have nothing else nice to say on your remark... so I'll leave it at that.
I just wanted to chime in and say that she seems to be rebounding for now, walking around more, and starting to eat on her own a bit. One day at a time :-)
Again, thanks all for the supportive posts and chatting with folks that have been in this situation has been very helpful. And yes, she is beautiful little girl - thanks for the compliments :heart4:
