Loreena got something :-(
Today I wont last for a long here since my furry baby Lolo is sick and I have to make her eat,but its always a pleasure be with you all.
I really dont know whats going on since she woke up yesterday morning apathic,no mood for leaving or eating _ all was ok the previous night.The only I could make her eat later all day long was a bite of Whiskas sache chicken ( Few) and a few nuggets of dry food.Morning poo was ok
She was so down that She allowed me to take her temperature and she was with fever so I took her to the vet by 4PM ( the hour available) Vet just give her a shot of something for fever/infection ( if I can remember right, I'm dont work properly sleeping bad)and say me iif she was not better next day we will need some lab tests,as blood one for investigate the reason ( $$$)
So I went home expecting Lolo would be better later on ,bought and cooked some chicken for her _ and the only she took was the liquid - what made me a little calmer (just a little...) since my greatest fear is she dehydrating.
Today shes a little more active but keeps almost not eating - no dry food or whiskas tis this moment (2PM) just some chicken.Dont see her drinking exception to the chicken water.
A proportionaly small poo - 3 little balls
Vet its already stressed out with me,cos I keep calling and sometines do it at the bad tines but what can I do? I cant guess the hour shes avaliable and she never calls back when I ask her for!
Cell credits, money, all is gone...
Call her early morning as set previosly - All I wanna know was if she wanted me to take Lolo there for blood sampler, since I guess that has to be done in fastening.She say " wait til lunch time to see if she eats."When I call her back to say she had done it poorly and I was afraid she was/is still with fever she tolds me lots ( 8m on the phone) and sugested that maybe she could internate Lolo.
The story ends by now with me supposed to call her after 4Pm if LOLO eats nothing ,or quite few
Not sure if I will... Hope little girl get some hungry while I'm not home - and, heavens,please dont disappear since getting her back without food interests will be a hell.I could not let her inside home, it would make her stressed and reduce even more her appetite
Chicken is not beeig attractive anymore - to make things worse I had give that for her a few days ago,without need!
Do the florals for animals work? Say so and I will consider take the humane...
Sighs... :-(

Oh, Apple...I feel for you. I was holding my breath with every sentence I read. It certainly sounds like she is feeling better, thank God. It sounds like Jade and Loreena had something in common...but they are now getting over it. I'm glad you were able to get her bloodwork done. I know this has been so stressful on you. Maybe now you'll be able to breathe a big sigh of relief. Hope so, Honey! :) ♥
Results get ready today, she say they are ok.Just in case I will check with another vet or here later on,but Lolo had stated showing more appetite yesterday,not eating more,nor acccepting dry food but showing some interest for things that she likes.
That happened previously to me starting the medicine, but since the stuff was bought and dont last for long,I will keep giving her for 10 days as she told me,except if Lolo throw up the stuff someday.I'm supposed to give it her twice a day ( 12/12)
The lunch dosis will become hard to give since I let her be outside again without leash and me ( all the weekend doing that - oh my!) It was her prize for starting eat dry food again today, I was wondering she was definitily spoiled and would NEVER come back to that insosse product after 3 days eating just meat ( i tried cow one as well),served in her bed,at hand, piece by piece
No poo yesterday or til the moment I left home today
Hope met her and some poo when at home again.
Thank you all!

Weather is ok, dont worry about.Floding is gone_ for the ones that faced it.ceiling is still the same but I dont care
Going to the really important points:
1-Happy to hear Aramis is back and Jade feeling better.Lolo is better as well -more details in sequence.
I was sure my friends here were concerned about her but I had no way to post something here since I'm not using a computer at
home,public places dont work on weekends and I also had to keep home watching for Lolo.Well,here we are_ i didnt cheched my e- mails yet but fell like talking with you first.
Back to the point I had stopped:
By the time I left the comp less time I went home about 4pm and discovered Loreena was on a backyard tree.Not a tall one, but a thorny one...( she is used to)
Decided for convincing her to came with me previously to call the vet - and that was not easy since 2 things that usually atracts her ( food or play) this time were causing no impact.Half hour of tries = I didnt want to take her by force cos that could be dangerous for any of us
When she finally came for canned sardine ( I had no tuna available at the moment)- that btw I didnt let her eat later on, just that small bite I tried call vet but without success
Next morning I went personally to the vet's office alone to ask if i should take her Lolo for the samples since I was not seeing any progress. Vet was impolite and say ok, so I will internate her (She's about to be "ex " pretty soon,as the previous ones ...I just like that cause is nearer than the others and has a cat)
To make story shorter, I took Loreena there, she picjk the blood for the hemogram (30 reais -the one I was warned about the need AND the hepatic /renal funtion - the one I had told I DIDNT HAD MONEY for.
She not allowed me in the room while colecting the stuff - probably cos at that moment I was crying.Not for the exam, for stress.Afer some time ( of couse it took forever for me) she came with 2 tubes and said "I collected both,you pay the other ( plus 40 reais) whem possible,is it ok?
What can we do do? Say "No, waste the material, and if it was proved need I will torture my cat again?
Ok,I agreed
Prescribed a vitamine solution ( 15 reais /13,30 walked half city for discover the drugstore near home was the one with better price- its never so!)

Apple, please let us hear from you soon. You told of the flooding in your city and the leak in your ceiling. I hope you are safe where you are. I think I can speak for every on here that we are concerned for you and your precious kitties. Please stay safe and let us hear something as soon as you are able. Love You ♥ Linda
When I was working at the vet's office, we would get cats that were sick and would not eat. The main concern, of course, is dehydration. You can use a dropper, but don't squirt it in her mouth as she may aspirate it and then you'd really be in a world of hurt. Just dribble it in from the corner of her mouth. This way, it allows her to swallow on her own.
As for cats that will not eat, I am a huge believer in using baby food-chicken is best IMO. It has a very palatable smell and sometimes one just needs to *spark* the appetite one time. Once I was treating a cat for cancer and I fed him the little baby hot dogs. There is used to be a product called Nutrical, which has all manner of vitamins and nutrients. Check with your vat to see if they have this product or one that is similar.

I hope you find out what is wrong, and I hope Loreena starts to feel better. I know how you feel about your precious fur baby, as you've been on this forum all throughout her pregnancy and her brooding her kittens. I am glad that you even have a vet there in Brazil, from what I remember reading when you initially found Loreena and decided to keep her. I, too, am sorry the vet is not more patient with you. I know how hard that is when you're worried about your precious kitty. I am glad the kitty decided to drink the chicken water, as that should definitely help prevent dehydration.
Jade, I hope the same for your precious kitty. The pumpkin is strangely a good thing for sick kitties. For some reason some of them really like it when they're not feeling good and it is recommended by vets as something soothing to the digestive tract. I remember being told to try it with my red point Siamese I used to have. It actually helped to save her life, so I could have her for a few more years.
