Hi, RubyE is one of my very feral girl --- I had taken
her to do the dental about a month or two ago because she couldn't eat much and
started to lose a lot of weight.. after the dental work, she had been doing so
great! Eating and seem very very happy and that made me so
happy!
But I noticed that she does not seem to be doing too
well for the past couple of weeks, she does not want to eat much and started to
lose weight (seems), and does not want to move too much.. and yesterday, her
hind legs seemed to be a bit weak as she had lost balance when getting up (but
she can walk find, seems) --
I made an appointment to take her yesterday, but
couldn't catch her and did not want to stree her so I did not pursuit. But
I talked to my AC, Jasmine who talked to RubyE--- something is going on -
and she kept seeming some type of worms.. and her digestive system is very week
and RubyE does not feel like she can cure on her own.. but she is so afraid of
going to the vet (Jasmine thinks that she associates "vet" with "death" -- she
must have been euthanized at the vet in the past life...or something, she
said).. they have to anethazie her to even look at her as she is so
feral.
I am so worried about her, I went to get a fish net so
that I could catch her if I can't catch her with a blanket --- everyone, please
pray for RubyE that she is going to be ok, and everything is going to work out
just fine, if I have to catch her with a blanket or fish net... and if they
anetheize her.. she has had very rough time since she was a baby.. and I wanted
to make sure that I do everthing I can to help her..
Thank you for your prayers in
advance!

Subject: Re: Lucy-- refusing raw food now
I'm sure it is. lol. And I'm sure my cats' portions don't come out to
a cup each. I'm just saying that I think Lucy is eating enough for right
now, and I hope Michelle is just being overly worried for no reason while
Lucy is snickering behind her back waiting to get the food she wants.

Would be nice though! (though i think taquila tastes horrible, actually!)Lucy never eats as much as the other cats. But when she was eating the raw food she ate about 4 bowls full per day. Maybe it is just a lot more water, though, and she is getting the same amount of food today, approximately, I don't know.A measuring cup per cat is actually a lot of dry food-- way more than two small handfuls. I would guess she ate less than 1/4 cup of the EVO today plus the baby food and spoonful or wet. You are right that it is enough not to be worried about a lot of weight loss or HL or anything like that. I just worry that it is a trend, and I worry about what to give her in the morning since she seems to be crossing everything off her list after one meal. But I guess I will just see what she wants in the morning and worry about it then.I seriously was convinced that there was something wrong with Ginger about two weeks ago because she was eating way less than usual and covered up (or pantomimed it, anyway) everything I offered her, including lots of favorites. I finally realized that I had run out of a recent favorite canned food and went and bought more of it, and she started eating a lot again! But only wants that one food! She and Patches both did this to me at the same time about two months ago-- first they both got obessed with Wellness chicken and herring canned food and stopped eating anything else. So I bought a case of it and they went through the whole case. So I bought another whole case of it. And wouldn't you know they changed their minds as soon as I brought it home and would not eat even a bite of it! To this day they don't want it. Now all Ginger wants is chunky chicken and rice by Pro Plan. But to see her disgust with all my other offerings, you would have thought she was generally repulsed by food. And Lucy is generally way way pickier than the other two, so I realize this may just be a protest of the menu on her part.MichelleIn a message dated 1/23/2006 7:18:51 P.M.

Are you sure she normally eats lots more than this, or are you just maybe paying more attention to what she's eating since she's been sick? A jar of baby food, a spoon of wet food, and even two small handfuls of EVO should be enough that she's not particularly hungry in my opinion.........I put out 5 small, ceramic bowls of kibble for 7 cats every day. And they don't even eat all of that before the next day. And most of them are 'obese' like their mom, lol, but it doesn't really seem like they eat that much. It has to work out to maybe a measuring cup per cat, if it's even that much. And 2 of mine are over 15 pounds! When I give wet food (on rare occasions. I know I should do it more.........) I typically split one can of royal canin between all 7 cats. If I open a second there are 2 or 3 who will eat till they puke, but the rest have had enough after their spoonful.And the litterboxes are full every day like everyone is eating and drinking way more than it seems like a cat would.....You know Lucy best, but it sounds like she's doing ok right now as long as she's not getting sick, and she's eating something.Inhale, exhale! Even if something's wrong you're not going to 'sense' it as easily if you get too stressed yourself. And Lucy will sense your stress over her eating/not eating. You don't want that. Got any tequila???t
