Thank you for your kindness.I am sending you 30 fishmox pills, it will be put in the mail tomorrow. Is there a way you can get her to come into your house? Would that be a possibility? You would be in a better position to take care of her inside. 3 years ago I was in the same dilemma as you. My feral cat, muffin, had a bad URI that turned into a severe eye infection. Luckily, he ate food with antibiotics in it everyday for almost two weeks, and I was able to save his eye and cure the pneumonia that had begun to set in. I know exactly how helpless and worried we can get when one of our ferals is ill. If there is any way that you can trap or lure her to get her inside your house and put her in a room by herself where she could be safe and warm and well cared for, then give it your best shot. But only if you feel you can do it, because if you try to catch her and are unsuccessful, she may not want to come around for a few days. My prayers for you and your kitty. I wanted to add that you should talk to her, and let her know that you love her and want to help her, and that you want her to fight to live. I do believe it is possible to communicate our love and intention to our cats.
I'm not able to bring her in and I have a lot of reasons why but the biggest issue is I don't have an extra room and I have an adult son who lives with me that is Bi-polar. You never know when he is going to have a horrible meltdown. Things being thrown around, yelling and cursing, it's not a pretty site.
She is better off outside where she can find a nice quiet spot to rest. The stress would be to much for both of us.
I don't think she will come around tonight but I'm hoping she will be out there in the morning so I can try giving her some more baby food and medication.
