helwenWoke up with a monster headache and also generally achey - could be another weather front... fitzw was kind enough (and concerned too, probably) to drive me to the post office and bank to do business. Will take yet more ibuprofen after lunch and see if that does the trick. Also more immune system tea, just in case...
Good news! Called the vets to get an update on Roselynde. She ate twice yesterday and again this morning, and has gained 1/2 a pound! They have her on IV still (fluids & antibiotics), and some painkillers. 2nd set of x-rays shows that the digestive system is looking more normal, but they're waiting to check on a stool sample once they get it (should be soon now, he says). He said the quick weight recovery is normal for cats -- the trick is to get them to eat again, once they've been off of eating for whatever reason. Apparently cats who stop eating because of illness/trauma usually don't start again on their own. So I'm glad I called them Monday morning and started the whole process going, and that they responded so quickly when she stopped eating & drinking Tuesday.
She'll be staying overnight again, just to make sure everything's stable. Doc says she's the healthiest animal in the hospital now :)
