I love how she giggles while singing affectionate phrases to the sheep.
Looks nominal.
That’s my favorite part!
One should never anthropomorphise animals.
They hate it.
So a follow up on this post for anyone interested. I moved this over to this thread because, well… She’s now a member of the family.
We’ve cracked the code about getting her to eat and drink. Sort of a real life Helen Keller moment. I set her down on the floor, and she accidentally walked into the water bowl. When she realized what happened, she just started drinking. Same success with the kitten formula, but it is still a struggle to get her to eat canned food. It’s almost like she’s never been weaned.
Her energy level is much higher and though the sinus infection persists. and we still don’t know what is happening with her eyes, she’s doing much much better.
She sees her new vet on Thursday.
If she had a bad intestinal parasite infection in top of the URI, that could be another factor as to why she lacks appetite. Our late Old Man Kitty had a severe intestinal parasite infection at 5 weeks. The vet explained that as a result of this happening during weaning, he wasn’t recognizing food as food and he’d lost his ability to recognize his hunger cues.
We had to force feed him for a week and then syringe feed him for another week. Every 4 hours. After the first week, he and my spouse worked out how he would lick from the syringe in exchange for snuggles and praise from my spouse. He wasn’t ever so cooperative for me.
After the first week, the vet wanted us to offer him the food on a plate and then use the syringe. At about the 2 week mark I hear my spouse cheering the kitty’s name, absolutely jubilant. He was eating on his own. Another week, and he would also consume a few kibbles.
I miss our old man. He died a year ago at 15.
At 15 that is a life well lived for a kitty cat. I’m sure he filled your heart with all the love.
He was a wonderful kitty. His successor has big paws to fill.
I do not know why the kid placed the boulder on the couch but the cats are enjoying it
We frenz naow.
Bunny health update:
The buck seems to be doing much better. His energy level is back to pre-illness level, he’s been pooping and urinating regularly and at normal size and shape. He seems to have more cecotropes than normal, but that is probably okay, because it is how they get additional nutrients out of their highly fibrous diet. Continuing watching carefully.
I’m sure the poops are quite mighty 
Healthy edition!
So.
Her eye does not look good at all. There’s no green or yellow pus. But her nictating membrane is swolled and red. She won’t even let me cover it with just a handkerchief or a patch of clean cloth. And I do realize that sometimes one has to cause a pet discomfort while trying to help it, but I don’t want to end up making it worse.
She’s just been sleeping, and at least she’s not be wiping at it herself. She won’t eat or drink, so…well, I’ve been through this before with one cat.
more on the crazytown thread.
I don’t know how it happened; I’m presuming a fight with another cat. No green/yellow pus. She won’t let me bandage it, and as you well know (SIGH), I don’t have the funds for a vet, much less my own transportation to get there. So, if you wanna help…
You might reach out to local orgs that might be willing to help provide low cost vet care
Thank you for doing so, but it’s like the 3rd thing I did this a.m. (Ii’m a thorough person for the most part, having been poor since 2019; i was lower middle class before that, $$ wise that is). Eye surgery can be up to $2K. i alsl don’t have a functional auto or insurance & tabs for it.
I hope you can get the help the kitty needs 
Thank you very much for your well-wishes.
