Phoebe - Tuesday evening update
So Spike said Phoebe wouldn't eat or drink this morning, and I couldn't get hold of the vet, so I rushed home after work. I took the little teacup of water and brought it to her and held it and pet her and encouraged her to take a drink. And finally she did, she slurped up quite a lot. So I got some of the wet food and put it on the spoon and held it to her chin and after a bit she took some licks and finally ate about 2 teaspoons full. And then I put her on my lap to get lots of pets and basically get treated like a queen. Then the vet called. Phoebe's bloodwork came in. And it is all negative. Every single test, even the more accurate kidney test that originally scored high. HypERthyroidism, HypOthyroidism, Feline AIDS, leukemia, kidney failure, about a zillion tests all came in negative. I told him she hadn't been eating and he said maybe she didn't like the food. Well, she was gulping it up until Sunday, so I don't think that's the problem - plus, Pischina-kitty thinks it's the best thing since raw porkchops. "She's faking it for the attention!" claims Buffy. "She's a big FAKER." "Who, me?" said Phoebe. There's no doubt that she's been sick. She was definitely sick until Sunday, and she definitely has not been eating or drinking since then. But the antibiotics can cause that plus the constipation. The constipation can cause the walking problems. I suppose that's why she doesn't jump right now. I don't know. We'll see in the next few days. Maybe she just had some sort of kitty flu?? I don't know. I really am glad though that all those horrible diseases came back negative. Since she seems to be out of danger now I'll just take care of her the best I can until she's jumping around again. Meanwhile, Pischina-kitty is gulping the new food down left and right. She gulps down all the food Phoebe leaves behind, she gulps down her own bowl of wet food, she gulps down all the dry food - normally we just set bowls of food out and they eat when they are hungry. We've never had a problem with them over eating before. That must be some really good cat food. Pischina-kitty is going to gain five pounds by the time Phoebe gets better.
