Purrs for Lindy?

I took Lindy to the doctor today, because she hasn't been eating for the
past couple of days (except some after I made the appointment), and she has
thrown up a small amount about once a day for the past week.
We saw my regular vet's new partner, who looks about 15 years old. The good
news is that Lindy's heart and lungs are good. She needs some dental work,
if they decide she can handle the anesthetic. They took blood and urine and
gave her an infusion (She was a little dehydrated) and an appetite
stimulant. I have a new kind of food to try, as well as more of the appetite
stimulant (Mirzapine). She's supposed to get 1/4 tablet every 3 days. They
said if I can't get it down her, bring her in and they'll do it. She didn't
say whether or not they'd charge for that. They'll call tomorrow with the
test results and we'll see where we go from here.

She yelled for her dinner when we got home, and I gave it to her, even
though it was a little early. She is actually eating, but we'll see how much
she gets down - and if she keeps it down.

Purrs for Lindy to get her appetite back and *keep* it once you're
done with the pills!

Many purrs for Lindy - that Mirtazapine is great stuff - I got Tucker to eat
using that (plus handfeeding him which he really really liked). I had
trouble getting the pill in him so I followed a vet tech's suggestion of
crushing the 1/4 pill and then mixing the powder pill in with a liquid med
he had to take and squirting it in with a syringe. Maybe you can crush the
pill and mix it in with some tuna juice or another thought might be to try
mixing it in with some Gerber's or Beechnut chicken baby food on a spoon
(which I also did). Hope this helps.

Another idea which also helped with getting Tucker to eat - I go to a
specialty pet shop to buy my cat food and asked the owner (who is very
knowledgeable about pet foods and pet nutrition - both dogs and cats) for
suggestions that might get Tucker to eat - he steered me on to a pet food
brand called Weruva and they make a "Paw Lickin' chicken" canned food that
looks good enough for me to eat - Tucker would eat that when he wasn't
interested in his regular food at the time he was recovering from his
surgery. Here's hoping you can find some locally to try - here's a weblink
I found that tells you more about it - you could try ordering it?

Purrs for her to eat. I wonder if she has hairballs?

It's always funny to me how demanding a cat can be, when it spends the
rest of its time either sleeping or turning up its delicate nose at
whatever we offer.

Hope she does well.

I'm sorry your cat died, especially because of an accident. That's
really sad.
