-------------------------------------------
Yesterday, after watching Mowgli eating, I realized that she really wasn't able to keep much in her mouth. She has been slobbering more out than what is able to be swallowed. After rechecking her weight again, she had continued to lose a bit more weight. Not good. I talked to Dr. Darcy and we decided a stomach tube was in order. Her appetite is there but just unable to get the food down to her tummy. Steve took her to Dr. P's office first thing in the morning. The stomach tube was placed.
Several things were noted: her tongue is actually adhered to the bottom of the lower soft palate . The tongue is suppose to be loose from the frenum forward. That is why she cannot get the food down--you need that flexibility in the tongue to swallow food. Whatever happened to her tongue? We simply do not know--was it burned? did she touch something that froze her tongue onto something this winter? did she get something caustic on it? Whatever happened has sure caused major problems for her. We know she was not born this way--this incident had to have happened this winter.
It was also discovered she has a pellet in her chest--someone must've taken a pot shot at her. It's not causing any harm now. She also has pneumonia--probably from inhaling some of the food/saliva that she isn't able to properly swallow. So, she's on 2 antibiotics and a strong anti-inflammatory.
She's a bit punky this morning, but that's to be expected. We're doing everything possible for her. I'd sure appreciate prayers and good thoughts for her. She's a fighter and I just know she wants to get thru this. We will be there with her thru this battle.

We have had two more adoptions!
Victoria was adopted Thursday. She went to a home where there's a lady who wants to just sit and hold a cat! When she came to visit, Victoria was so sweet to this lady and stayed on her lap for a visit!
Sammy was adopted Friday. He went into a home with another cat and a wonderful family!
He's going to have alot of fun there.
And now there are 5 kittens left (of the 8). We have to get the 4 girls spayed and then they all will go to their new homes. These 5 are all spoken for.
Farrah is doing much better with her meds! She's not missed any doses and has not vomited for a couple days now. It seems like her energy level is back. She was even on the counter today and ate breakfast!
Our cat, Kayala, the torti appears to be pregnant. Okay, okay, she not only appears to be pregnant, but she is. And rather far along. She's been hanging out in the back Thumper's Room. We've been encouraging her, Enola and Citrine to come up front, but they aren't ready! They are all pretty cozy there in the back! I've asked Kayala, if she has to have kittens, to let them be different--maybe a purple one, a Scottish Fold, maybe a Burmese or how about an Egyptian Mau. Her remark--you'll get whatever I give you! I guess she's right! And we will find wonderful homes for them all! Enola's sutures will come out soon.
Tomorrow is Easter---may your day be blessed and wonderful.
