Update May 26: So unfortunately she hasn't been getting enough to eat and has been drinking very little. This means they'll have to intubate so she can get the calories she desperately needs.

At this point I'm pretty sure that it's the stitches in her mouth that are making her not want to eat as every time she attempts she shakes her head and tries to push something outta her mouth with her tongue. When we get back after talking to the vet some I'll post a new journal.

So we brought her home, first and foremost though the reasons are less than happy.

She was refusing to eat at the vet's office. She's eaten a tiny bit, I think, since coming home & we've done everything we can to make sure she's comfortable and in a stress free zone (let her choose her hiding spot, laid her favorite blanket nearby, set out a food slurry/bowl of clean water/small catbox with clean litter, and leaving her alone so she's not being stressed out by too much handling)

but it's hard to tell really how much she's had to eat if she has in fact eaten and if there's no noticeable improvement tomorrow she'll have to go back to the vet Thursday morning and have a feeding tube inserted. Either way we have to go back to the vet Thursday so they can remove her painkiller patch.

Overall she has had over 100 stitches in her mouth, and the vet saw ulcers on her tongue as well. I feel awful but there's no way we could have known anything was wrong, and when we suspected something might be up we took her in. Augh. Poor baby. 8C
