Good Morning!
I have no idea what is going on! Kitty was eating very little on Saturday morning, so I went to the vet and got the new appetite stimulant---- she is down to 6.8 pounds and she cannot afford to lose any more weight. I came home ready to give her the first pill Saturday afternoon, but she had eaten her food that I had left with her, so I decided to wait. She ate well Saturday evening, without the stimulant. Then yesterday, she ate all day-- probably a can and a half of food and boiled turkey. Now, this morning-- she has already eaten a can of food! She is sleeping a lot and resting comfortably, but suddenly she seems very hungry and is eating much more. She is so frail and her little legs have lost a lot of muscle mass-- so she MUST eat! I wonder if the Ptitis is finally subsiding and her appetite is back. I don't want to get my hopes up, as I really thought that Saturday she was nearing the end. Her illness has been really weird--no vomiting, no diarrhea-- just a general wasting away. So, if she starts eating and can gain some weight back, maybe her overall condition can improve a little. I know Ptitis can be really Bad, but it has been almost 2 months since her first symptoms. Everytime I think that it is time....she seems to rally a little. I am not optimistic, but I am hopeful that something is changing.
I am intending on taking her back to the vet this week for blood work-- maybe it will reveal something.
Please continue to send Good Vibes to Kitty....Thanks!
