Hello all, You may remember my two kittens Leeloo and Loki and their sibs, Milo and Abby, who my sister had; all FELV+. Milo passed and was added to the candlelight service some time ago. May I ask that sister Abby be added also. She passed away last week the same way Milo did. Now, our two remain and the battle goes on.
Leeloo appears to have injured her leg. I took her to the vet and he indicated a probable fracture at left stifle. She slowed way down and ate very little, which the doc says is normal with an injury. Now, she is very skinny and will hardly eat anything, is very week and hardly moves. We try to feed her baby food and she eats a little, but not enough. I do not see any signs of sores in the mouth or anywhere else. Just today, she peed for the first time away from the litter box as it's too much effort to hop back there in her weakened state. Last night she sometimes breathed a bit hard, but is fine today just staying in one place. I think I'm going to force feed her starting today. Any advice? A syringe with baby food is what I thought. Quantity? If I feel she needs more water (pinch of nap of neck not returning quickly), do I syringe also? Loki, the former runt, remains very strong and health with the exception of lingering URI. Thanks, Steve
