When everything seemed to go well, Cinders took a turn for the worse end of last week.
There were spots of blood in her urine again and she refused to eat.
The visit to her vet last Sunday morning showed that her white blood cells were high indicating infection but without a temperature. She lost weight and is now getting anorexic.
(This photo was taken in late February. Cinders is much thinner now.)
Antibiotics, appetite stimulants, vitamins and Cystaid were prescribed. 'Assisted Feeding' was recommended to prevent her from losing more weight.
The term 'Assisted Feeding' is preferred as the cat is helped to eat, not forced though the cat may disagree. 'Assisted Feeding' refers to finger feeding or syringe feeding. EJ is using both methods. But still Cinders is not eating enough as more energy is used up during sickness. EJ is trying very hard to coax her to eat.
Cinders howls a lot lately. Other cats sort of avoid her but not good-natured Tommy. Good old Tommy keeps her company by squatting beside her and gives encouraging support with cleaning licks.
EJ is keeping an eye on Tommy too as he has not recover fully.

I'm so sorry sweet Cinders isn't doing well. It's so hard to watch them like that. Sending you hugs through this hard time.
Poor Cinders. Get well soon little guy.
We are so sorry to hear that Cinders is not doing well. It is so upsetting when you see them getting thinner and weaker. We hope Tommy recovers further.

What sad news about Cinders. If it's an infection the antibiotics will help. Rosie not long ago had such signs too, it was terrible. I already thought it was the end.
You are really not lucky for the moment,when one gets better the next starts ! I wish you all the best ! and keep my fingers crossed !
I am praying that she is not in a lot of pain. If she is howling, she might be.
Sending prayers and purrs your way
My sistrs and I are purring for you sweetest Cinders!
