mir has not been eating properly these last few days. it's not uncommon
for her. she doesn't care much for food at best, so it's hard to tell if
she's really off her food or just being her usual not-interested-in-food
self. i'm going to ring the vet today, maybe i can get an appointment.

i've given her nutro-plus gel, which she always laps up
enthusiastically. she's also had some yogurt. it might be something with
her teeth, though she hasn't had a problem with them before.

When my little Alice Cooper was fixed and she came home she decided to not
eat.  I started to give her PediaSure using an eyedropper.  that picked her
up after a couple of days.

"Eat your supper Mir-Mir" purrs on their way to Finland from Francesca
and Nina. Hope it's just some February Feline Seasonal Affected
Disorder, and nothing that won't clear up fast.

I hope your little gray princess is just pulling "I'm being picky about
food for a few days", and will get back to eating soon.

Purrs for your Mir are on the way.

thanks for all the purrs. we just got back from the vet. they sedated
her to check her mouth, took some blood, and cleaned her teeth since she
was already sedated, though the vet said her teeth only had a little
tartar, not enough to make her stop eating.

there's nothing much wrong with her, except her tonsils are a bit red
and there are some small lesions in her soft palate. her white
bloodcells are a bit low. apparently a virus. they took samples to test
for herpes and calici virus, but the vet thought it may be any other
virus and she should be fine inside a week. i got a course of roferon to
give her.

all her other tests showed she is in excellent condition and is getting
all the nutrients she needs from her diet of raw meat. *smile*

poor mir-mir is staggering around like a drunk. so undignified. caliban
is terrified of her - or the vet smell off her.

That's a relief. I'm very glad to hear that. We'll continue our purrs for
poor Mir.

Glad to hear she is OK! I must have missed your earlier post before,
because I only saw the responses to it today. That's better for me,
because I don't have to wait in suspense, wondering what could be wrong
with her. Everett sends belated loud-kitten purrs for Mir to feel
better soon! (The others chime in, too, of course - but you should
hear him go when he's really cuddly.)

LOL. Or he's just weirded out by her odd behavior. As Theresa said,
what a wuss! :)

Just read the thread.  I guess mir has a sore throat, poor girl.  Hope the
rest of the tests come out good ans she is fine in a day or so.

Miranda! My beautiful wink wink, I am so going to scratch Meowmy for
not checking the newsgroups in the last few days. She says she's had a
cold and didn't want to get online. If she's cold she can wrap up in a
blanket but she has to send my purrs and headbutts to by beautiful
wink wink.  I wouldn't be afraid of you my loverly, I wouldn't be
afraid of the way you smell either. I will port over there this very
night and curl around you and help you to feel better. Headbutts and
purrs on the way from me and my fursibs as well for Autie Marina's
poor hand.

barnabus must have ported back in time, as well, because ever seince she
recovered from the sedation, miranda has been extra perky and frisky.
she's eating, and even begging for food before it's time, which is
unheard of with her. sometimes, caliban and i just sit and stare at her
in amazement.

I hope she is feeling better. Poor baby!
Marina - 25 Feb 2008 16:44 GMT
> I hope she is feeling better. Poor baby!

she has been amazing since she came off the sedation. she is begging for
food before mealtime, she is wolfing it down, and in addition, she's
been super-affectionate since we got home. she didn't eat all of her
dinner on saturday evening, and i was afraid she'd go back to not
eating, but she's eaten every meal since then.

the vet rang me with the results of miranda's herpes and calici tests.
all negative. yay. she's fine. she's been eating like a horse, anyway,
since she came off the sedation. very uncharacteristic for her, but it
sure makes meowmie happy. she even took a long nap on my arm yesterday.
very rare, too. i felt so honoured.

Jake has offered to share one of his nice big freshly minced prawns if that
would pique Miranda's appetite.

And he doesn't share them with just anyone.
