Way to go, Molly! Wag your tail, eat up and show everyone just what a diva can do.
I'm home and just caught up on the thread, been reading the week's updates with tears running down my face, a lump in my throat... so anxious to see how she is doing today. The time it took was just enough for you to post this morning's updates.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts today. Lots of hugs your way!

To me that sounds positive! Getting nutrients in and keeping them in is GREAT! If that means syringing baby food, so be it....that will help her regain her strength and hopefully kick start her appetite. Her behavior is also a good sign to me - reacting to bed time, feeling shame at the accident, moving on her own now - all good things to me.You are giving her every chance, just as she deserves...and if she can pull thru this, she most certainly will with her loving mom at her side like this.
We will always be with you, Sharlene, always.

Happier news! I used to feed my cat baby food when he wouldn't eat and it usually worked to kick-start his appetite. She must feel much better just being home with her family. I will be thinking of you all day and watching for more news......

Oh Sharlene, I am so glad to hear that she is showing signs of feeling better!!
Getting them to eat when they don't want to just breaks your heart, Harley did that too.
I wonder if Nutri-cal would be something Molly would eat.
Sending loads of positive and healing energy along with huge loving hugs.

Mid day checkin. So many chores to get done.
Hope she's able to eat a little more. Yes, I have had to use a syringe many times. It did help.
Molly is truly blessed to have such loving and devoted parents. I'll be back!!!
