Pathetic the Cat
This pathetic cat. She smells so bad - due to her mouth being wired open, we can essentially smell her digestion. (Belated warning, maybe you shouldn't be reading this while eating - sorry). She stinks.
In further pathetic cat news, we're pretty much certain that she's blind in her left eye. She's got no reaction to things coming at her from that side. You can all but smack her in the face (no, we didn't smack her in the face) and she doesn't flinch or even bat the eye until you contact her whiskers. AND we're pretty sure she's got a lo of hearing loss, too, as she doesn't react to most noises and often can't tell we're in a room until we enter her line of sight - which, again, is only the right side.
What a sad cat. She seems cheerful enough, though, and she'll be coming with us this weekend for holiday festivities. The vet said we could blend up a piece of turkey and feed it to her as a Thanksgiving treat. ;)

She is still progressing and it is good to see her in such a loving enviroment. She will thrive and regain her health. She is very thankful this Thanksgiving.

Ask the vet about oraly care. You might be able to use a product called toothette==sponge like toothbrush we use in hospitals to do the same thing. a solution of 1/2water plus 1/2 Hydrogen peroxide is used. I would if it safe with cats. I worry about tooth decay and oral infection from what you describe. It is worthasking them about. Thanks for hanging in there with her.
Tonight is the 2nd Anniv.of my Pumkin having a stroke,and I put her to rest the 36 hours later. So I know how it is to provide intensive care to a friend . I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
Ithank you both and all those that donated for helping a stranger, though not human. It is truely the meaning of the season.
