The vet called and told me the blood work was BORING! She said this is really good news. The only interesting finding was that her stress levels were up. She said there really is no explanation for this. Young girls have this problem from time to time that doctors cannot explain. She said continue with the antibiotics and tempt her with food. Most people are shocked that that Hester doesn't have a favorite food or treat since I don't give her treats and she loves kibble. However, I purchased some food that people tell me that the most finicky cats love it and some baby food (sans onions). She turned her nose up to both and turn around to nose the kibble. That's my predictable girl.
I have also purchased a syringe to give her water. I don't get much into her but at least it is something. She is snoozing away on my woolie sweater. Enid is happily purring on the warm television. Enid thinks this is the world's greatest gift to kitty-dom. Nice, warm and some times it hums a good tune.
Thanks for the thoughts, prayers and comments. It is all appreciated. Truly.
Glad to heat that Hester seems better. The baby food meat that cats like are the tiny Gerber jars of pure strained meat. I remember my son use to spit it out, but our cat thought it was manna from heaven. Hope your little fur girl is soon fully recovered.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad she's better. I've been a fan of the girls since they were kittens on the IBKC, and was so distressed to see Hester was ill. Will keep sending good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that she seems to be improving! Like divageek I have been following Enid and Hester from the IBKC days and love getting updates on them. Please continue to keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteGerber infant turkey ... worked like a charm with me for one cat, accepted by another, and refused by a third. They like what they like. No treats here either...just endless cuddles and attention. I was so worried about Hester having watched with joy her transition from one of Laurie's IBKs to one of your precious duo. I'm so relieved "our" Hester is doing better.
ReplyDeleteHow about trying boiled chicken?
ReplyDeleteI'm relieved to hear she's doing better too.
I'm glad Hester is feeling a little better. My Jack likes the tv too. And not the big one in the living room, the little 19 inch one in the bedroom. He spends all night up there. It's good that the bloodwork came back normal. Hopefully she is back to her usual self soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Hester is getting better. I'm sure having your company is doing her good too.
ReplyDeletep.s. my baby Tracy is not much for snacks or treats, either. it's kibble all the way for him, he loves it! (though he will nibble the OCCASIONAL bit of Friskies Party Mix.)
ReplyDeleteWhew! I'm so glad for Hester's turn for the better. Sweet little girl. I'm an old time fan, like the rest. Thanks for keeping us so up to date on Hester's progress. It's a relief to hear the good news.
