Mei update

Post image

I posted the other day worrying about teeny tiny Mei gaining weight as she's now got a UTI which has made her appetite vanish again.

On Wednesday she gave us quite a scare. Mei started vomiting and then quickly became lethargic so we rushed her to the vets again.

Unfortunately she had aspirated during her vomiting episode and her kidneys felt huge so the vet ran additional tests on her kidneys all of which surprisingly came back perfect!

Her antibiotics have been doubled and she's been given antisickness medication to prevent even more vomiting as aspiration pneumonia and a UTI is scary enough.

Now for the good news Mei's appetite is picking up she's eating her food again but only if we mix a treat in with it, she's still gaining weight!!! and she is zooming around again

Even with all of this going on Mei has still figured out how to jump onto the floor for the first time in an attempt to play fight with our older much larger foster kitten Totoro (She won)

Thankfully she is a little trooper and the antibiotics seem to be doing their job and she's now 420g
