08/28/2023 – Checking Up with Olivia

Olivia continues to improve from her bout of what our vet thinks may have been pancreatitis back in July. She lost about a pound and a half and all desire to do much of anything. She’s always been a thin little girl so a pound and a half is still really noticeable. Slowly, she’s gaining weight. Very, very slowly.

For a few weeks, before work at oh-dark-thirty, Mom would lift Olivia up onto the kitchen counter and try to get her to eat a couple bites of kibble. Olivia wasn’t eating her wet food at all at the time, and for a few mornings here and there, she ate Mom’s offered kibble. And then, she’d stop eating again.

Dad took over by getting down on the floor to feed her and it worked! Dad’s always been the go-to guy when it comes to getting kitties and kittens to eat, and he’s still got it. It wasn’t long before Olivia was eating on her own again, including her wet food.

Olivia’s been eating on her own again for a few weeks now. She jumps up and down on the counter like she used to do and has spend several nights in bed snuggling with Quint recently. It’s good to see them together and her acting normal again. Thank YOU for all your good thoughts and purrs when she was feeling terrible. They worked!
