i've been watching sid for the last day or so and things are not getting better. there definitely is desire there to eat and drink but she is unable. today she went up to her water dish and sniffed the water, clearly wanting it, but then did nothing. it was as if she was trying to remember what to do next. she sat there and then extended herself as if she was resting her head on the dish.
the desire to drink and eat is still there, but the capacity to is diminished.
i tried phoning the vet to see if i could get an earlier dental surgery, but they cant do it. the next available day is the 5th of march and there's no way because we leave the 6th for that fucking hawaii trip. and i hate to curse it because i've looked forward to it for so long, but i am pissed about it and the timing of everything.
i feel quite pressured to do the right thing by the cat. no heating blanket, towel stretched out, or fussing is making her eat or drink properly. and i dont think that a cat can survive long if it doesnt drink water. eventually her organs will start shutting down.
when i think of how much pain she likely is in, i feel sick to my stomach. i wish there was something i could do to make it stop right now. something herbal or good for cats. i'm at the point now where i wonder if i should start thinking of putting her to sleep instead of going through a dental procedure. thinking of that makes me upset immediately, but i know that it would be for the best for the cat.
ch wants me to call around and see if other clinics can get her in faster...i may do that, but i have to think about it and weigh the pros and cons.
