Our little girl is improving quickly now! I was just in the bedroom playing with her, and while petting her on my lap, I noticed that I could no longer easily count every vertebrae down her spine. As I continued to stroke her, I was actually feeling a bit of flesh on either side of her spine. I picked her up and was amazed to detect a little heft to her body. She no longer feels as light as the feather she likes to chase around the floor. I weighed her again, and she's up to 4.55 lbs! That's an increase of just over 1/4 lb since I wormed her 3 days ago! She's almost starting to LOOK like a normal kitten!
Roxie is also getting more and more playful. I can get her running in tight little reining horse spins after the feather now. She's just sooooo cute! She almost starting to ACT like a normal kitten!
Now if her stool would just normalize, I'd be a happy camper. She's still pretty loose, but occasionally she does manage a firm stool. Unfortunately, she is still having messes on the bed from time to time, but no more major explosions like the one right after her deworming.
I wish you all could be here to experience her improvements in person. She's just looking and feeling so much better!
I've got to go try to take a current pic of her to attach to this post. OK, here's a body shot from this morning. You can't see her little gangster face, but you can see how her coat (or at least the parts I haven't pulled out with the mats) is looking less raggedy.
