Rookie! Wait until you've been here a few years and see thread titles that run off the side of the screen. Besides that don't you think you have the right to a few meltdowns?
The syringe feeding can be the brutal part. Years ago my GA Nigel had a brother named Andrew who fought me tooth and nail over force feeding and it was FORCE. My wife couldn't bear to watch but it all worked out in the end. Andrew's second name was Bright Eyes, the biggest of our four yellow cats, all brothers born in this house. We never did know what made him sick but he lived a good and long life after that. Wanna see?

Absolutely gorgeous cats!!!! And thank you for letting me feel that my meltdowns were all part of the process. I really feel like we're turning the corner! Will do a post on a new thread - part 4 I believe!

I was reading back over this post and realized I could've done a bit better. I've never tried to help anyone before and the only thing I was thinking at the time was "we gotta get the right dose."

For those of you who may be reading after the fact @JL and Chip made a really important comment which I missed:



After Diane posted:



I wish I had have said - "get some unenzymed food in to her" at the time.

I feel so bad that Wenchie was in terrible pain and just wanna make sure that going forward for anyone else referring back to this post they have as much information as possible.

This is great news!!!

Keep in mind the enzymes are breaking down the food while refrigerated and making the food less palatable in case she starts going off doing it this way. If this happens you could try incubating 1/8 tsp of enzymes in 1/2 a can of food and refrigerate overnight and then add the other 1/2 of can of fresh unenzymed food in the morning (no need to incubate any longer).

& Keep an eye on those poops - (one of) the best indicators of how well the enzymes are working! :)
