All donations so far have been used already for her vet care. If needed I can provide reciepts of all of the bills to prove this. I've been prepared for vet emergencies before, but this is just a different level.

Blossom is still really lethargic, but she's at least alert when I wake her for feeds/meds and walks around for a few minutes before going back to her bed. She's a bit wobbly in her feet, but she's been trying to climb objects and dig too.

I painstakingly removed every tiny bone I could find from the food (it's a 10% bone raw mix) just in case the bones upset her tummy more again. It took me an hour for one bowl of food because I don't have a strainer with big enough holes.

I even got her to eat some of her regular food (watered down) out of the actual bowl rather than through a syringe by adding salmon oil to it. After she licked the oil she started licking up the food like she remembered she likes it and it's good to eat.

Blossom is still lagging behind, but using salmon oil as a crutch has helped so, so much. She wouldn't touch ANYTHING to eat or drink until I tried putting a bit of salmon oil on the syringe. She LOVES her salmon oil more than anything in the whole world.

I really thought she was gone yesterday. I picked her up and she wasn't moving at all and her eyes were open. I've never felt my heart break so much so fast.

There's still a chance she'll get worse again but for now I'm proving supportive care and antibiotics at home along with syringe feeding her fluids and food every 2 hours. I've had to take the last few days off work to care for her so I really appreciate all of the support y'all have given me 💚

The vets have been absolutely amazing to her and she's had no lack of snuggles while she was there. They're all obsessed with how sweet she is even while she's so ill. Coming back from the vet again now with her and she wants to be up and about so bad but doesn't have enough energy quite yet.

Finch thank you so so so much, you're so incredibly kind 💚

She's been given antibiotics, fluids, anti nausea, pain relief, and has been syringe fed cat food. Goose was also given antibiotics and I have some to give her later.
We'll repeat x-rays in the morning to check Blossom's stomach and see if anything has moved. If it hasn't, we will need surgery.

I've always been able to budget and pay for their vet care when they've needed anything. But two getting so dangerously sick at the exact same time is more than my funds can manage. I don't know what to do.

They're my whole world. I don't know what I'd do without them.
My vet funds have been depleted so, so quickly and I need to work something out to keep them alive. I'm so fucking scared and upset and desperate.

Already spent like £300 just for blood tests but I just want her to be okay.
