elfs | Dinah is not in a good way

Omaha and I know that we're dealing now with a cat that's in rapid decline. The neurological incident she had recently, the one that caused the weakness on the left side of her face, is now spreading, and she can no longer control her mouth on that side. She drools constantly, has a terrible time eating anything at all, and often has wheezing breathing incidents whenever she purrs. She's desperate for warmth; she sleeps on one of the heat vent registers whenever she can, dares the stairs only if she absolutely has to.

We've gone back to using an oral injector to get her food into her, and she protests it in a way she never did before. The only way to get food into her is blend it with chicken, beef, or fish stock (depending on the pouch we're giving her) using a stick blender, and pour it into her dish like soup. She still doesn't eat much, she's dropped from eight pounds to five, and I really don't think she's going to last much longer.

She still purrs, and she still loves us, but it's hard watching her slowly fall apart like this. Poor kitty.
