I don't know if she is comfortable. When she is feverish, she
definitely isn't. At other times it is hard to tell if she is just
weak or also nauseous or painful somewhere. The oncologist said he
does not think she has any pain. Maybe it is just fatigue from the
anemia and the fevers. She is not very interested in food. She would
not eat all morning and at this point has eaten probably less than a
meal's worth of EVO dry. I tried liver shake and even fancy feast,
knowing the fancy feast could wreck her intestines due to her IBD.
But she did not want them at all. The EVO tends to bother her
intestines too, but it is all she will eat on her own and I hate to
syringe her if I can get her to eat something. I may ask Gray to go
get some turkey deli slices. Anyway, I would not say she is super
comfortable. But maybe she is just weak and has no appetite. I have
to say, I don't have any appetite at this point either.
