Camel Kitty

My little camel kitty soldiers on. Tonight, with supervision, I stuck the needle in her, remembering nearly everything I was taught last week. She flicked her neck like a horse trying to get rid of flies, but settled down. The liquid went in fairly quickly and she seemed totally unconcerned. (The liquid goes under her skin and gets absorbed into her system over the course of the next day. So for a while, she has a little gel-like hump that slowly moves to her underside and then dissipates.)

I was horrified, though, to realize that her weight dipped, but barely, below 6 pounds. She's supposed to go in the other direction! Her weight never goes down by much (this time, it was one and a half ounces), but the trend is fairly evident. I do hope we can stuff more food into her over the holidays. Problem is that she's on a special low-protein diet, which she sometimes wolfs down and sometimes won't go near.

I'm crossing my fingers that this treatment will help reverse some of the damage. We'll see.
