Abby Update

Abby is doing better.  We are “force feeding” her (with a syringe) three times a day.  She’s been eating a small amount on her own.  She seems to be happy and in good spirits.  Gary took her to a specialist today that could run more sophisticated tests on her.  His opinion is that the condition is reversible as long as we can keep her nutritional intake up.  

Gary and I are headed to Hawaii on Saturday for a week, so my parents (in town anyway) will be housesitting for us and taking over cat care.  We hate to leave her since this will likely stress her out, but hey… non-refundable tickets to Hawaii, ya know?  :-)

Seriously, we are optimistic that she will be fine.  Even if she doesn’t make progress on eating on her own, the syringe feedings should do the trick.
