Default 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's apitite to grow. Joyce's idea of starting with
smaller servings is a good one.

That amused me. I found the same when I took KFC I said "I saw a child
vet."
Veterinary college is really difficult to get in to here in the UK. More
difficult than medical college. You need straight A's in everything to
stand a chance, so I assume than any new child vet that my vet allows into
his surgery to get experience shows promise and will be heavily supervised
on each case by one of the more experienced vets.

An appetite stimulant has certainly kept Kitty Farmcat going through her
CRF, but I hope Lindy has not got that.

Thank you, Suz. I tried that yesterday, and it didn't seem to be working.
However, this morning she wanted food, and I gave her a very small amount.
She ate it all, but seemed satisfied.

I suspect Lindy was having some nausea. She certainly acted hungry
yesterday, but ate almost nothing when I gave her food. However, this
morning she demanded food. I gave her a small amount and she ate it all, so
I consider that progress.

My regular vet has brought this young woman in with her, and introduced her,
before when I've brought Lindy in, but this is the first time I saw her
alone. Lindy wasn't eating yesterday, and I planned to call this morning
and ask to talk to the older vet. However, she did eat this morning, so I
think I'll wait and see.
