Mache is clearly on the mend. She had some pain about when her meds would be wearing off, enough to complain and limp, but not enough to convulse her as it did yesterday. She had enough spirit to protest the antibiotic/antinflammatory/pain pill. I got her to swallow it, and half an hour later, she was well enough to come back to bed to sleep. By evening, I could barely feel her fever and her fur was nearly normal. She no longer smells sick, though she doesn't smell like herself either. She's taken an interest in grroming and is enjoying extended pettins. Around six, her appetite returned and she had a real meal instead of just nibbling. Her body language tells me she's still uncomfortable, but she's not scary uncomfortable.

The others are all eating well and they've been enjoying grazing the invalid cat feeding stations. I figure it's good for them all to be eating the food meant to strengthen Mache against the infection, especially the Butt, who's been off colour, and hector who's recovering from starving himself. I don't want any of them going through this nightmare. As I write this, Mache has shambled out into the living room to sit in her usual "controlling traffic spot." I'm going to set up the space heater and move some mesting material in.

That's great to hear. I'm so happy she's okay.

It's a huge relief. I'm watching her close and planning to keep with the codling until she's clearly back to well, but she is so much better today.

Clearly antibiotics and fluids was the right way to go. We're watching the other three like hawks so we can step in at the first sign they're in trouble.

As a write this she's sprawled asleep tummy upin front of he space heater.
