I'm glad Satch -- and you -- are "turning the corner" on
this situation. The playing is a very good sign, always, and the
uncongested meow! ;-)

Subject: Satch is coughing - less
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your posts and advice. The diluted herbal tincture
seemed to revive him some. He did throw up once more, but it was a stomach
full of mucous - some of it finally got out! Oddly, the tincture is brown
and the vomit didn't have this coloring, can your tummy decided what to give up?
Since then, he's been more interested in eating and has put in some kibble,
liver paste. Not much, but he is improving. He chased the laser
pointer all around last night which was nice to watch. His meow is back
also, not the hoarse, muted sound he's been making, but his more forceful, clear
meow. Never thought I'd say that it was good to hear, but it definitely
is. :)
My boyfriend has assured me that he does not have a problem giving Satch
what he needs, and as the temp is gone, he seems hydrated still, and the
appetite is returning, I feel okay with that. I've given an
arsenal of different things to try to feed him.
I weighed Satch yesterday and he hasn't lost any weight, maybe some ounces
because I can't remember 13 lbs "what" from the last vet visit, but he is still
13 lbs something as of last night.
So it looks like the vet was right - shocking. :)
He is done with the antibiotics on Friday, so the appetite should roar back
after that, but I like that it's improving now.
I also felt that perhaps my hypervigilance wasn't really helping the
situation. Ed will be observing him more holistically, he won't be taking
temps or following him around fretting, the overload of info wasn't really
helping me, but driving me nuts. He'll treat him and love him and call the
vet if things start to change, but he'll be much less mother hen about it, and I
can't say that I think that will be bad.
Talk to you soon, and I hope with continued good news. Thanks again
for all of the support and advice.
Leslie
