It has been a good day here. After the week that we have had, to have my little Bogey go and find her litter and start burying things was music to my ears. I figured after that she would just try to return to bed after. But she walked around looking for her food dish. I grabbed it and sat it on the floor and she ate kibble without me even prodding her to do so. Also some watered down wet food. Gently groomed herself after. Clear urine and finally a very good bowel movement.</div><div><br></div><div>We are not out of the woods I know. She is still very weak and jaundice but less so. These are small milestones but we celebrated them.</div><div><br></div><div>Even though she ate wet (Fancy Feast) and kibble on her own today. I am going to still force the A/D, L/D and water. She has lost about a pound through all of this. I started giving her about half the dose that I was of Petinic vitamins.</div><div><br></div><div>I am not going to take her in for SUBQ. They are open tomorrow so that is a possibility if anything worsens. My reasoning: My vet, I appreciate everything he has done with her. Especially because he is giving her the chance to live with the Winstrol and Doxy. She would be gone by now if not for him. He’s a great guy and his staff is wonderful. But when I took her in for treatment for this, he really didn’t want to do anything for her. Actually said he wouldn’t because she was suffering. He did eventually agree to a hospital stay with IV. I believe I have to nurse her back myself so as to not jeopardize any future treatments for her. It’s a slippery slope. At this point and after THAT soft bowel movement and her urinating regularly I am going to continue on as I have been. I hope it is the right decision. I will learn how to do that myself for the next time.</div><div><br></div><div>Sherri</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Felvtalk <<a href="mailto:felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org">felvtalk-bounces@felineleukemia.org</a>> on behalf of Amani Oakley <<a href="mailto:aoakley@oakleylegal.com">aoakley@oakleylegal.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Reply-To: </span> <<a href="mailto:felvtalk@felineleukemia.org">felvtalk@felineleukemia.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Thursday, December 15, 2016 at 8:31 PM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> "<a href="mailto:felvtalk@felineleukemia.org">felvtalk@felineleukemia.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:felvtalk@felineleukemia.org">felvtalk@felineleukemia.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> [Felvtalk] FW: FW: FW: Update on Bogey My FELV + Cat<br></div><div><br></div><div xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"><style><!--

and let her lick it off my hand she does great. Almost a half of a 5.5 oz can already today. She has not vomited. I thought about milk but she has yet to have a bowel movement and I didn’t want to constipate her more. I think I will offer her some at next

over a full can total. Every hour or so I gave her about a tablespoon. Alternating between the two. I also am giving her water and a few drops of Pedialite each time. The first time she urinated it was very orange about 2 pm. She didn’t urinate again until
last night around 10 and was clear. She actually went to her water dish last night and took a couple of laps. She is still weak and wobbly. But she know where things are. Still seems out of it though. I doubt that she slept at all while in the hospital so
I am just letting her rest.
