Yesterday
Nothing unusual to report in Trixie's world today. I got up well after "+4" this morning (overslept due to exhaustion), so between that and her barely-out-of-range AMBG, I decided to give her a pokey break this morning...no follow-up, so no Mr Greenie just yet today. I'll have to go for it this evening!
She's holding steady with her eating patterns now. She doesn't really eat enough on her own through the course of an entire day, so I'm still doing 3-4 syringes a day, depending on how much she does eat on her own.
Other than that, though, and despite all my lamenting about her "new normal" for her eating habits that are making me a bit nuts, she really seems like "Trixie"....she's social, bright-eyed, looks comfortable, no vomiting, had a perfect poo this morning, etc. So I'm not sure what all is going on with her appy. As you guys know, my theory is that it's a mix of psychological and physical. She is a very sensitive kitty...I could totally see her being psychologically uncomfortable about eating after all she's been through.
My staycation starts in a week and a half (I cannot believe it has been 6 months since winter staycation!!!!); I hope that being home for the week will help shed a little more insight. It is hard to try and encourage her to eat more on her own and see if we can get her "independent" again when I'm pressed for time in the mornings and I need to get food into her before I leave for work. She does seem to eat better for me in the evenings, and of course a big part of that is probably because I have the entire evening to offer food to her.
Last night, Elise asked if Trix was on any appy stimulants. This is what I wrote...it was late, so many probably didn't see it:
I'm off today, but have errands to run, so I'd better get moving. I started picking out her OTJ pictures yesterday, too, and only got up to the folders through 2005 :shock: , so I have a ton more to sort through for that, too. What a trip down memory lane.....she was nearly starved to death when we found her (our former neighbors abandoned her), and it always makes me teary-eyed to see how far she came from where she started. She was all skin and bones...you could see her skeleton through her fur. Her avatar was taken a couple months after she moved in...it was her first "real" Christmas, and I am sure that that red mouse was her first Christmas present. I can't imagine that a family who would abandon her would give her gifts.
Have a great day, LL!
