I actually rescheduled it for Thursday. She has gotten much perkier--
playful and cuddly again, and after licking at the fancy feast yesterday she
also licked up a little baby food. She has not touched food since then, but
before getting the Triaminic this morning she did go over and look

I actually postponed the AC phone call too, because it was scheduled for 10
pm last night just so I could talk to her before the this morning's ultrasound,
but I decided to postpone the ultrasound and wanted to go to sleep. I have not
rescheduled it yet. I may do it later today or tomorrow.
Yes, I am still giving her 150 cc of fluid per day, and also syringe
feeding her. But I am syringe feeding her less to try to see if she will eat
some on her own. I normally syringe her about 90 to 100cc's of A/D per day and
yesterday did only 60. I plan to do only 60 today too.
Thanks,
Hi Michelle,
You may want to syringe her a bit more, an adult cat needs between
5.5 and 6.0 ounces of food to maintain their body weight, although tiny
cats like my Shelbee don't eat anywhere near that much (Shelbee weights
about 7 pounds).
You may want to stick with the 100ccs of food,
That sounds good, I had to add more water to the AD because I was

that kitties try to cover their food to hide it from other animals so
they can come
I counteract the watering down by adding a teaspoon of
Nutri-Cal to the mix, it bumps the calories back up without thickening it up too
much to syringe. She may even lick the Nutri-Cal off your finger on her own,
sometimes mine do that when I ask them nicely and make a big fuss over it being
About 10 minutes after I wrote that last email, I went in to check on her
and she was still in the same spot, on the heating pad I put there for her. I
got worried so I put her on the bed and took her temp, which was down to 101.6.
I then gave her another 30 cc of fluid or so, because she
Dear Michelle
Tough one. If it were me, I think I would keep the appointment to get it
over and done with earlier rather than later, while doing everything possible to
minimize the stress on Ginger. It IS very good news that she appears to be
taking an interest in food--as you say it does
