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... :-(

Apple and Jade, I hope the kitties are feeling a lot better today.  Good news for me to report!  I'm thankful and relieved to say that Aramis is safe and sound this morning...the little stinker gave me a little scare.

Linda, that is Great news!  So happy to hear it.  I was wondering about Aramis last night.  

Well, Apple, we will wait for you to check in.  Jade finally began eating on her own early this morning.  I am highly hopeful Loreena has begun to eat as well.

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.

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.

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
