Kitty is getting well
I have a cat that I have owned for over fifteen years. I got her as a little kitten not long after I bought my own place and moved into it back in the 1990s.
Last month she got really sick - we are talking super sick.
She would not eat anything, except for for the gravy from cans of cat food and drink a little water or sometimes milk. I called my vet, and he recommended a pet hospital affiliated with a national company called VCA.
They literally snatched her from the jaws of death. She was in the hospital for 5 days.
Last night she drank some water and all the juice from her canned food. This morning she ate some of the meat. She slept all night.
She is sleeping right now. She has been resting really close to me or on me virtually the whole time she has been home, since I brought her back at dinner time last night.
I am going to see if I can get her to burn a tiny bit of calories this afternoon, just enough to increase her apetite. She has some not-so-fun medical activities tonight. I will be the acting med tech. Not too looking forward to it but I will do what I have to do to get my cat well.
It has been a pretty stressful week. My cat has been my companion almost every day well over five thousand days. A significant percentage of my life.
Now I am very grateful to some very expert, compassionate, skilled, knowledgeable people that those days are still continuing. She seems happier and healther than she has been in months. She is back to her old personality.
