Ocha is Back for Home Care

2 hours since home. After 1 hour of nap.

Finally! After 5 days of being caged/warded on IV and piles of antibiotic syringes, she is stable enough for me to do home care!

Looking at her ouchie. She looks so scruffy and... sick!

Alas, she hasn't been eating for these 5 days, too! This is going to be challenging. To make her start eating again on her own. Which is why, I will be preparing to do force-feeding soon till she is able to eats on her own.

Ocha is going to have her self-grooming
therapeutic session. After being e-collared for days!

I've failed to coax her at eating, hence the force-feeding. I do not want her to develop complication like fatty liver disease (Feline Hepatic Lipidosis). Not after she is stabilised from a failing liver (infection).

There are many good guides offered online to make sure your cat is eating. Of course, an explanation to the importance of that, too! Just do a Google search and you'll see.

I didn't expect I will be needing to use these (feeding syringes) again. It was about 4 years ago when I had to on my Dogue de Bordeaux, Binbine. Towards his last few weeks, I had to syringe fed him some food and Chinese herbal remedies. Which does help to eased his pain a lot. By the way, I used a squeeze bottle type with curved tubes for the big dog. Easier than syringes for the amount of liquid I needed to feed him them.

As for Ocha, these sizes of feeding syringe will do.

I hope these will work fine for mushed food, too!
