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... :-(

Hey Apple, I'm so sorry Lolo's not well.  I'm going thru exactly the same thing with Jade right now and I can totally relate to your distress.  You're alone and that makes it worse.  I might have a husband, but I am the caregiver 99% of the time as well as the one who worries so I know just how you feel.  I was just this morning successful in getting Jade to eat some pumpkin.  Do you have pumpkin?  The organic kind w/no additives - not pie filling.  I'm sure you know since we've talked of this before.  Baby food too - try that if you haven't already.  Beef and chicken is good - maybe beef more for a change.  Jade ate both the beef and chicken.  I'm relieved to hear Lolo drank the chicken water.  

Keep us updated, honey and try not to panic.  And I'm sorry your vet isn't being so patient with you.  We are here for you, Apple.  You and Lolo are in my prayers.  Big Hugs!

maybe she is eating something outdoors hon?......Jade isn't well either and we have been stressing how to feed with a dropper perhaps you'll need to do this for the weekend for Lolo too and see if she's better by Monday?????
It is very important she gets a little food and water into her each day...make the food into a liquid and give it to her by a dropper every few hours until she feels like eating on her own.
the shot was probably an antibiotic and that too can make her feel a bit yucky for 24 hrs...but if there is an infection it should be helping within the next day or two.
give her the droppers of liquid food and keep trying to temp her with the chicken. I am praying for you both, I know how stressfull this can be.
