Ossana update
Aug. 1st, 2003 11:47 amThank you to everyone who's been sending healing Ossana's way.
Yesterday she ate and drank by herself for the first time in about a week. She wouldn't eat or drink by herself from the time we brought her home. The vet was unable to determine why - we suspect a bad reaction to the kitten shot or too-early weaning, but nobody really knows. We had to syringe-feed her kitten formula and baby food until yesterday when she began to eat by herself. This morning at around 8:00 am she ate some wet (solid) kitten food (not a whole lot, but enough not to starve) and also drank quite a bit. I left the food there for her and will go check on her now. I hope she continues to improve.
Update: She ate again at around 1:30 pm - more kitten food than the first time, and another good drink of water. Then when I left the room she complained loudly! Yay! This is the first time in a week that she felt ok enough to care.
