Started GOOD.. Ended REAL BAD

[MM3]

Sorry. By "green", I meant an unripe coconut and was not referring to the color. Yes, definitely look for the coconut that is white and not brown in color.

Yes, yur right. If u google it you'll see the photo of what they look like and how to open them. Prayers and more prayers for you and your precious baby.

Ideally send a friend so your not having to leave her.......your her security. Don't want to make her nervous.

So sorry to hear about Elsa, but glad she is doing better and will send positive vibes she continues to recover completely.

Morning Update on Elsa.

Much better... Last night she would barely lick water and milk from my finger... She did use the litter box last night, but not this morning. When we went to bed, she did not want to sleep in her carrier (vets recommendations) so I let her out and she came straight up on my chest and slept for about an hour and 1/2. After that she wanted to move around, so I put her back in her carrier where she slept well for the rest of the night. She woke me up around 6:30 and this morning, she did not want me to take her out of her cage and I found out the reason was that she wanted to come out on her own. She then immediately went to steal water from my glass. I gave her some water and she drank a fair amount, and ate about 2 tablespoons of dry food and 1.45 ounce of wet food (usually eats 2 ounces)... Big improvement, My biggest concerns right now is her weight and vision. She can see intermittently and the vet is confident it will return to normal. 2nd her weight. She is down 1.8 ounces from 1 week ago, and lost over 8 ounces since Wednesday. At her rate of growth, I hope she can recover the weight that she needs to keep up. Going to talk to the vet about that this morning. Getting ready to take her to the vet in a few minutes with some updates. Overall much more positive this morning that last night... She is getting much closer to the end of the woods that she was, but still not completely out.

Great news! I would ask the vet about Her dry food... With hydration a huge issue, not sure anything dry right now is a good move. Just a thought! Prayers to u both!

Morning Picture after breakfast, and she is starting to run around... Also, she tracked a laser this morning.

FABULOUS! You go girl!!

Best wishes John! Her weight will bounce back, sounds like she's feeling better.

Just getting the chance to catch up a little and reading about you and poor little Elsa's plight. Sounds like she is improving, keeping fingers crossed for a wonderful full recovery, but will keep prayers coming. She will gain her weight back rather quickly once she starts back to eating good. Poor baby! It is amazing how thin they can get when sick, but if all goes well, you won't even know it in a week or so. Hope she is even better today!

She is looking good John! Well on her way to recovery and I'm sure she'll be happy to get that IV tube out. Might not be a bad idea to get an extra bag of fluids in her with the vet visit as she is still dealing with the post trauma of dehydration.

Don't sweat the weight too much as she will pack it back on in a hurry. If you can keep her off the dry food that would be a plus as getting as much water in her as possible will aid in her recovery.
