Thanks Lois, she seems to be doing better. At the very least she isn't
drooling any longer and she actually ate something today.  She's been in the
back room since Thursday evening with the humidifier running. I hadn't
noticed that she had eaten since Wednesday although it appeared she had
urinated some in the litterbox. So last night I warmed some chicken soup and
filled syringes with the broth and made her drink some soup. She had 6 ccs
at midnight, 6 ccs at 1:30 and 6 ccs at 2:45. She seemed to like the taste -
at least she didn't fight me when I dribbled it into her mouth. Then today I
went out and bought some really stinky food, Meow Mix has a new food that
was whitefish and mussels. She ate that like she was starving.  She's still
a little sniffly so she's spending one more night in isolation.

I think we're on the road to recovery now, though. Thank you for asking and
sending purrs.

Truthfully, I could not have survived this without the expert advice from
all of you. I've never seen a cat so sick in my life. Well, Sam was dying
the night he had a severe asthma attack but I knew exactly what to do with
him - go straight to the Emergency Vet - Do not pass go, do not collect
$200. But with Lacy she didn't really seem to need to be at the vet but I
just didn't now how to make her feel better.  The advice of humidifier,
stinky food, wiping her nose, etc seemed to be just the right trick.The only
problem right now is that my house smells of stinkyzcat food! Mackrel and
shrimp, whitefish and muscles, chicken and duck, Salmon and shrimp....Yuck!
And that was today, just think, this is going to reappear in the next 12
hours and I'll get to smell it all over again unless they cover it up better
than they are known to do.

Tomorrow will tell the tell, I'm going to let her out of isolation. I think
she'll be much happier out with the rest of the family and that should help
with her recovery time.

Thanks for all the concern.

I know what you mean about the smell.  My current cat refuses to eat
anything but kibble, but I have had cats in the past who most strongly
wanted to be a lapfungus right after they had eaten a meal of stinky
gooshyfood.  The worst was one cat who had a lifelong gas problem.  If
you think tuna-flavored cat food smells bad when it is fresh, it
smells even worse after "processing".

Yes, I imagine she will be happy to be out of quarantine.

There are lots of things to help a stinky house.  One I like is to open a
window and put a fan in front of it facing OUT.  That will draw the inside
air out.  Febreze helps.  I also use small air cleaners in both baths.
This also helps if you have a dampness problem.  I  also like Glade
sprays -- spice (not flowery)....If the fishy smell is strong, boil a
little vinegar.   These are just a few suggestions.  There are many things
you can find at the store.   Best wishes for  your furry one to heal
completely.   MLB
