Mackie

The vet just called and Mackie is doing better. However, the barium is now just still in her colon and she needs to pass this before they release her. They are giving her injectable drugs right now, but need to put her on oral meds. Her gut is still so full of gas and other stuff that the drugs will not be absorbed so they are keeping her. But, she is climbing the bars of the cage and begging to be held- which sounds more like the old Mackie than the one I saw yesterday who could barely move.

 

3:47 p.m. Mack is back! First thing we did is give her a bath because she could have given the skunks a run for their money! Then she inhaled her food, got lots of pets and skritches from her adoring fans and is now fast asleep with her siblings. The I/e I ordered won’t be here until the 2nd so I just got creative with her canned kitten food and added probiotics, prebiotics and extra virgin olive oil. She is expelling watery diarrhea but the barium is still in there. Dr. is hoping that tonight will be the big reveal! LOLĀ  I am just so glad to see her feeling more like herself.

  1. Silly question but isn’t there something like a feline version of Gas X they can give her to relieve her of so much gas? I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that must be in such a wee little one.
