Not a great number, but not the worst. Her numbers last night were not great, so I'll take this one. Especially considering the tiny, tiny dose she's getting.

I force fed 2 Tbsp Wellness for breakfast but... Last night she ate over 1 1/2 Tbsp Wellness on her own (well, she didn't go to eat on her own, I brought the bowl to her and held it while she lapped it up - mixing it with water a few times to keep it soupy). And for her +8.5 snack - she ate 3/4 Tbsp Wellness soup by herself (again - I brought the bowl to her, but she lapped it up on her own).

My vet called around 10 pm last night to say that she hadn't heard back from the IM vet and she was going to re-fax all the info and check in with her today. It's my vet's day off today, but she's going to give the IM vet her cell number so they can touch base.

BF left this AM for N. Carolina and Florida - won't be back till late Saturday. I'm a little sad that I won't get to go pick up the new car with him. Oh well...

That sounds like a bit of improvement in Kasha if she is eating on her own. And even if she ate it out of your hand I would still claim that as an improvement. So fingers and paws crossed today for you both.

Krys, you've done an amazing job with getting Kasha through this. Kudos to YOU for all your hard work.
 
Re: 9/2 Kasha AMPS 134

eating on her own is a great sign, even if the little diva requires you to hold the bowl up to her. Keeping you both in my thoughts
 
Re: 9/2 Kasha AMPS 134

I agree with everyone .. you are doing an awesome job .. and I know exactly how you feel about not being able to go and do something that might take you from home for a few days ... it's still a rough thing to give up, no matter how much we love our sugarbabies
 
Re: 9/2 Kasha AMPS 134

I'm so glad to see she is starting to eat a little more on her own. That is HUGE progress.

I know of at least one other FDMB diva kitty that insists on being hand fed, and I'm sure there are more. : )

I hope your BF doesn't have to drive in any crazy weather!
 
Re: 9/2 Kasha AMPS 134

Good eating report....each little improvement is great news. That is nice of your vet to deal with these things on her weekend off...hope they can help you with some new plan...Good Girl Kasha...that is so great that you can eat all by yourself...keep up the good work!!

Yeah - seriously - depending on the path that Hurricane Earl takes - they might get some of that weather. I read that a state of emergency was declared in N. Carolina - which is exactly where he's heading to pick up the car. Then he and his friend are driving down to Florida cuz his friend has some work there. And the new car is a used car, which always makes me a little nervous (even though he had really great luck in the past doing this). At least his new car is a Subaru Forester - if he has to drive in weather, it makes me feel better to know he's got a vehicle with all wheel drive.

Krys, that is wonderful news, that Kasha's eating on her own, even if you have to hold the bowl for her. It sure is a big improvement from syringe feeding, right? Good job! :smile:
 
Re: 9/2 Kasha AMPS 134

Eating out of the bowl is progress! I know you're trying very hard to help her, and I agree with everyone else that you're doing a great job! I hope the IM vet will be able to help you too, it's great that your vet is working hard to get more input to help you guys!

I hope your BF has a safe trip. I have a Subie and I love it, it goes through everything!
 
I'm pretty much done.

I forced her to eat 2 Tbsp Wellness. Screw this. I've had it. I should be up for the worst mom award. I am angry all the time now. When she doesn't eat - I'm angry. When I'm forcing food into her mouth and she spits some out - I am so angry there are no words. No - I'm not doing a great job with her. I don't know why I am even trying. I'm may get in my car tonight and not come back.

Leaving now.

Edit: and my heart is just breaking for Joyce (Tuscany) tonight. I just can't take this. Why does all of this have to hurt so much? I hope Joyce and Tuscany have some peace... Now for Tuscany... and eventually for Joyce. But I have to get out of my house for a while now. I'm just too sad to be any good to anyone.
 
We have ALL had days like this. Kazi would pick and pick at her food for the first 3 months after diagnosis- it took me 30-45 minutes in the AM and again in the PM every day just to get enough food in her for me to give insulin. Then I had to try and give a shot to a cat who was NOT happy about it and made things difficult. There were times when I had to just walk away for a minute because I wanted to strangle her! You're doing a great job with her. (( ))
 
Krys, you ARE doing a great job with Kasha. Just because things are not always how we want them to be doesn't mean we aren't trying and doing everything in our power to make it all better. I know it gets incredibly frustrating and upsetting when no matter what we do we don't get the result we want, but please don't sell yourself short! Good to take a step away for a bit. She DID eat on her own some today - that's a victory! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Good that you got out ...clear your head a bit. I bet you feel a little better now...
This is a sad day and I am just so upset too, thinking about Tuscany.
But we who have our kitties with us treasure our moments with them. Life is so fleeting....
I hope you will take a deep breath and find it in your heart to try again...patience is not my strongest point either, but Kasha needs you Krys...I hope your night is better....
 
Dear Krys, You are doing the best you can and Kasha knows that. Don't despair. You had some progress with the feeding today and tomorrow you will have progress again. So go out and clear your head and don't worry about your bf, or Kasha, or whatever. Wait for the vet's report and until then, just keep on doing OK. OK?
Ella
p.s. I have a Forester--it's great!
