Hi everybody. Well I'm getting really frustrated here. She wouldn't eat on her own again this morning despite many different offerings . I did manage to finger feed her an adequate amount but you can tell she's getting really ticked off with me and I feel terrible but I'm getting a bit ticked off with her. It's not her fault I know that but I guess the stress is just getting to me. So I'm going to give her her her Buperenex and then just go back to bed for an hour before I have to give her her fluids. Time to regroup.

See you all later. I hope you all have a good day. My prayers for all our kitties who aren't feeling well and their Beans and also all those affected by the latest earthquake in Japan and the tsunamis. It's all so awful.

Sending big hugs to you. She can feel your frustration so do try to breath and walk away if needed. Singing to her while feeding might help calm you both down. When I was tube feeding Maverick I was so overwhelmed I was afraid I'd actually break down. We turned his feedings into a bonding experience. Brushing petting, feeding and lots of singing. It helped me calm down. I remember sitting in the middle of the room holding a full syringe and just bawling because his tube had blocked "again". You can't control these things. It would be like trying to get yourself to eat with the flu. She feels yucky. So just be patient.

I wish we were all closer. We'd be able to help each other with rough spots. You've got a lot on your plate. Keep on hanging on and do try and get even 1/2 hour for yourself every day. Sending more hugs.

Hi barb - I too understand the frustration. there is alot on you plate, and none of it is easy. Try and take a moment for yourself each day, just time to regroup. Hang in there - it will get better. I hope the rest of the day went better for Tori.

Hey Tori - it's me, Mannie. How are you doing today? I hope you feel a little bit better. Try and eat for your bean, OK? She worries so. The KTSS will come and see you again tonight. OK? ~~ Mannie

Hi Barb & Tori, I hope that things improved today and that Tori is eating better again. Sometimes our kitties just have to express themselves and refuse to do stuff that we (and they) know is good for them! Here's hoping for a good evening. Rusty is on his way with the KTSS. You try to have a good evening, too.

Many hugs,

Ella & Rusty

Hope you're doing okay, Barb... I think we've all been there at some point with our kitties' various issues. You are doing great. Thoughts and prayers going out for continued healing for Tori.

Hi everybody. Well it hasn't been the best of days that's for sure. Instead of going forward it feels like we're going backwards here. After finger feeding Tori breakfast I tried just putting out a kitty buffet and letting her eat as she would. She took little bits off and on but not enough for sure. This evening I tried giving her her Buprenex before she ate instead of after like I have been doing. It didn't make any difference. So far since supper has been served she hasn't even looked at it except to take a sniff and turn her head away. So I'm going to wait a little while and then try and finger feed her. I'm worried that she is developing a food aversion. Let's face it I don't have a clue what to do right now.

On the bright side though her BGs are marvelous today aren't they?

Well it's back to work tonight. I don't really feel up to going but have no choice. Maybe I'll be able to take better care of my patients than I do my kitty.

Sorry guys I'm having a real pity party going on right now. I need to kick myself in the butt and tell myself to get over it and do what I need to do.

Have a good night everybody. I hope the KTSS is planning to bring Tori some of their fabulous chicken soup. Maybe they can her to eat something.
 
miss tori... you need to eat your fuds! Maybe the ktss visit will help you get there. they have all sorts of great things coming with them tonight. :-D

personally I don't know of anyone who takes better care of their kitty than you do. hang in there - she'll come around, it's just going to take some time, and love and patience and support. you have a great girl there. I hope she has a better night tonight. Paws crossed.
