Sweetie hasn't been eating, so I've been force feeding her which she hates. I've also been loading her up on Nutrical, Liqui-tinic, Lysine and antibiotics. The vet on Friday thought she was just stressed and that's why she wasn't eating and feeling well. In addition to inappetance, she is now sneezing and has runny eyes and nose. It's quite frustrating when a cat won't eat and it's even more frustrating to not know a single thing about her past medical history. Maybe she had a favorite food she would eat or maybe her appetite had started to dwindle a while ago and her owners surrendered her thinking she was sick. I don't know. What I do know is she is only 7lbs and cannot afford to skip meals.
I gave her a second bath and the dead fleas and flea dirt was still coming off of her. She has another vet appointment on Wednesday for her vaccines and deworming. Hopefully, she will be feeling better by then.
A friend who fosters for
Siamese Rescue has offered me the use of a nebulizer. I will be picking it up today after work. Hope it helps clear her up so she can smell the food.
She has to be one of the cutest kitties ever!!!

Paws are crossed for Sweetie
Sweetie really is very cute! I am still mad at whoever left her in this awful condition! I am keeping my paws crossed that clearing up her sniffles will do a lot to bring back her appetite!
I'm sending love and good energies, everything will be okay soon!
Sweetie is a brave girl!
purrs

We love Luna
Sweetie is adorable and we sure hope she feels much better soon. Smoochies.
PS: We forgot to add that we are sending Sweetie speshull BIG rumbly get well purrs.
Awww my goodness!! Poor Sweetie!! I think if she has runny eyes and nose and is sneezing then it's more than just stress? Oh I hope the vaccines and de-worming will help! I'm sure her bath and your wonderful TLC helps even more! I hope she gets some anti-biotics? A shot of vitamins too? Poor baby!
Me and Charlie are sending Sweet Sweetie and you lovely people at Creek Cats tons and tons of purrs!!
Take care

Oh poor little cat! We're purring for you both. Steak in fine slivers always works well.
Oh, the poor kitty... Is it cat flu, you think? Lack of appetite, sneezes and runny nose... Sort of sounds like it.
She so gorgeous!
Oh the poor little girl! We're sending her some feel better purrs right now!
We're sending lots and lots of purrs for beautiful Sweetie! We hope she feels better soon - thank you for taking such good care of her. She is an adorable kitty.
Poor Sweety. We are sending tons of purrs and prayers that she gets better. Maybe the antibiotics are curbing her appetite but it sure sounds like she needs them right now if she is sneezing. Dana, Sweety sure has hit the lottery being fostered by you. Thank heavens you were the one to take her. We will keep our paws crossed that she gets better really soon.
Poor Sweetie. I hope whoever let her get like this gets a serious case of fleas themselves.
I am sorry Sweetie is not feeling better. It must be extra-hard to be stuffed up with her sweet tiny little nose.
Oh we hope Sweetie feels better soon! Our Mom gets very worried when one of us doesn't eat because she had a cat that developed Lipidosis from not eating. We are happy that Sweetie is with you and we're sending big purrs that she's better soon!
Between all the fleas and now having a cold, no wonder Sweeting doesn't feel like eating! We hope she starts feeling better soon...she is in such good hands!
Poor baby! My mom has been reading about Sweetie on FB and I had to come over to check on her. I bet Sweetie is very stressed and just needs some comforting hugs and attention. (That's me talking as a Persian). When I wouldn't eat, the vet suggested that my mom warm my wet food for about 6 to 7 seconds in the microwave to enhance the flavor.
Good luck.
We are purring for you Sweetie...know that the whole CB family loves you!
Maybe you should hold off on the vaccines until she is eating. I know it makes our kitties "off" for a day or so.
Poor girl! I'm sure all your hard work will pay off and she will be feeling better in no time!
My kitties are sending purrs her way :-)
Poor Sweetie! We hope that she feels better soon and starts eating again. xxx
Poor Sweetie being sneezy and not eating - hope toy fell better soon.
She is a pretty girl with lovely furs.
That poor baby--we are sending a lot of healing purrs and love to her!
Oah, poor Sweetie! We are sorry to read about her. We hope she is feeling much better soon!
Sending you many healing purrs!
Good luck!
I hope she starts eating soon. It is no fun at all to be force fed.
Sweetie is just adorable. I hope she will start eating. Hope her stuffy nose clears up soon.
We sure are sending get well NOW vibes, purrs, and purrayers to Sweetie! She DOES have one of the cutest faces ever! Mom would love to have her...but dad says 4 is enough. He's so not cool sometimes! MOL!
Aw, poor baby! We're glad she has YOU! We're sending lots of purrs and healing Light that she gets better quickly. The lysine should help with the cold symptoms, so hopefully she'll be able to smell the food soon and thereby start eating. Good luck!
We are sending lots of get well purrs to Sweetie and hope she starts eating soon. She is such a cutie! We are very angry at the person who had her before but are so thankful she has you taking care of her now.
Aww, poor little girl. She must feel awful. We hope she's feeling better soon!
She really is cute! We are purring for her!!
Have you tried heating up wet food? It brings out the aroma....might help her to smell it a bit better.
Poor Sweetie! We hope she is as comfy as you can make her...we are really hissed off that she was *allowed* to get so sick.
Big purrs and virtual snuggles coming her way!
My sisters and I are purring for you Sweetie, you are the cutest thing!!!
We hope Sweetie starts eating again soon. What about tuna water? (We know you are very experienced and have probably thought of everything)
Raymond and I are from Pacific Siamese Rescue. They rescued our pregnant Mom from the shelter and that's how we were born. Good people!
We hope Sweetie starts eating soon. Maybe now that she has some calmness in her life she'll relax. She is so pretty!
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids
Sending purrs to Sweetie! one thing I've tried before to help with colds is an antihistamine, half of a regular dose. This seems to dry up some of the snots and allow them to breathe a bit easier...maybe you could ask your vet if it would help Sweetie. I skinny, non-eating cat is frustrating....Tanner said you can have some of his extra fat, if that would help!
Sweetie you are sooo cute, what an impish face you have! Be a good girl and have some nibbles. we love you
bonks
Sweetie is a beautiful girl, we hope she starts feeling better and eating on her own soon...Purrs for her...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
Bless her wee soul.
We send her all our love and healing purrs........Get well soon

She is a doll, but it is so sad. Fleas in all that fur, poor thing.
I hope Sweetie feels better soon and that her appetite is better.

Poor Sweetie, she has such a lovely face. We hope she soon feels better.
We hope the sweetie is feeling better soon. That was an incredible amount of blood that she lost because of the fleas.
Purrz
oh my goodness Sweetie is adorable. so cute!
it sounds like an upper respiratory infection perhaps? pengy had that and couldnt breath right nor smell her food. when they cant smell it they wont eat.
the vet put her on antibiotic (pink) amoxicillin? or similar, i cannot recall. but it worked magic. within days she was better.
we will purr for Sweetie pie.
& thanks for commenting on our slideshow of the kittens :)
Sweetie honey you hang in there, feel better and start to eat soon, ok? You sure are a pretty girl!
So cute! We are saying so many purrayers that she will be okay. She is lucky to have found you to give her the best care possible.
