Inimical Me
Wise Old Thumper
After not using her litter tray and not eating, an admission to the vets and stasis treatment which saw her eating a bit more (but not much, and no indication what the underlying cause might be), Fidget now has very liquid stools (previously they've been soft and malformed but not like this). She won't be syringe fed anymore (she just holds it in her mouth and lets it dribble out) and will only eat nibbles of green things here and there. She's wet and smelly underneath which I feel like my fighting a losing battle with despite cleaning and trimming any matts every day .
I've been up at 4am every morning giving her stasis meds and metacam and trying to feed her (oh's work means that is the only time in the morning that both of us are here - one to hold her and the other to syringe) and I'm hardly sleeping which is making everything, including work, unbearable.
She still has some fight in her (running away and kicking out at me when I put her down), but she's getting thinner and is wobbly on her leg (she only uses 3 legs after a fracture for those who don't know), and we're off to see the vet this morning who hopefully will so a bit more investigation than the last one. If I can make it through this day without dissolving into a hysterical wreck I'll be surprised.
