She didn't have a fever this morning and was quite perky. She nibbled on my ear and tugged my earring as this morning's wake up call. Very purry and full of the marking my glasses, cheeks, and nose. I think she did eat but it was 4:30 am and I wasn't in the mood to get out of bed to check. She has her moments of play (slowly) and she is talking. Still doing the sleeping and not eating and drinking. I am forcing a 1/2 tsp of water down her every hour. I have told her job today is to eat, drink and sleep. She is playing dumb on these orders.
Wanna know how much she has grown?
February 14th last year
January 2010. Can we say HUGE. She is my tall lanky girl.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, again. I can't wait until she is eating and drinking on her own and is bounding around the house.
yay! Glad she is getting better! Hugs and scritches to you Hester!
ReplyDeleteI am also glad she is doing better. Kitty hugs and kisses from me and the boys.
ReplyDeleteCome on Hester, EAT! I'm so glad she's on the mend. Huge kitties are the best.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad to hear she's turned the corner. I checked on here a bunch yesterday for an update.
ReplyDeleteBig = more to love!
Wonderful news! And, what a big, pretty girl. I love her nose. :)
ReplyDeleteKaren..I have just seen your postings from over the weekend and am so sorry that Hester is not feeling up to snuf..
ReplyDeleteEven though she may not like it you can syringe her some wet food or baby food to see if that will get her started. Food is sometimes the best medicine and anything you can get into her may help her turn the corner on the eating front :)
I hope she feels tons and tons better today
Have your tried tempting Hester with cooked chicken or deli turkey meat? Kibble might hurt to digest - has the vet checke for Irritable Bowel Diease (IBD)? Try softening up the kibble with some chicken broth (softens and adds fluids).
ReplyDeleteYay Hester. Now, remember how to eat, ok?
ReplyDeleteWhew! Such a relief. Chow down, Hester!
ReplyDeleteSo glad Hester is better. Now Miss Hester, you have to start eating, so you can get back to plotting mischief with Enid.
ReplyDeleteEat Hester eat! You and Enid have tons of fun to get into yet.
ReplyDeletepurrs and hugs to you
Oh, poor Hester! I'm so sorry to hear she's ill. It's at times like that that it really hits home just how important these little critters are in our lives. Best wishes for continued improvement!
