Buffy's Hiding Off and On
Buffy has started hiding again, off and on. In the last day or so she
has started fighting me giving her the liquid pain medication. She did sleep with me last night but when I got up this morning to dish up her food, fresh water, etc. she got off the bed and hid on the chair under the dining table. I went about getting ready for work. While I was in the shower she came out and ate half the food, then went back up on the chair again. I know it's uncomfortable if I have to force her mouth open. I wish, wish, wish! she could understand the cause and effect: she feels a heck of a lot better within minutes if she simply opens her mouth a tiny bit without my having to wrangle with her and touch the sore spot on her jaw. It takes *one* second to squirt the medication in her mouth. I picked up refills of the medication after work today. They want to see her again on June 18th. If she continues in this vein I'm afraid that Friday appointment could be her last. Jill |

I'm so sorry to hear this. Thank you. She has absolutely refused to let me medicate her since I posted that. I'm about to try again just to see if I can make her feel better for a little while. I changed the appointment to tomorrow, 10/11. Tonight will be my last night with her. My heart is breaking but I know it's the right thing to do. Jill |

I am thinking of you - all the more because I had to bring Cinnamon in when she suddenly worsened badly, only days after the vet thought she'd be good til the fall. I pretty well knew I wouldn't be bringing her home. I could still medicate Cinnamon, but she wouldn't eat or unless I syringe fed her and was so lethargic and weak. I just knew, and I guess you do too. -- Cheryl |

When I got home I found she had eaten a few bites of her gooshy food. She had urinated a little in the litter box. She was curled up on her crackle sack and I was able to get some of the pain medication in her mouth. But she YOWLED at me and she's back on the chair under the table. I can't keep putting her through this. It's time. Thank you for your kind thoughts, Cheryl. I'll be a wreck tomorrow, driving home with an empty carrier. Jill |

You're keeping this poor animal alive strictly for your own selfish needs. If the cat is truly suffering, do the right thing and euthanize her. If you don't have the courage to do it yourself, you can send her to me -- Posted by Mimo Usenet Browser v0.2.5 http://www.mimousenet.com/mimo/post |
