Update to my recent post with new, older kitty.
One person asked for an update so I thought I'd give everyone a short one. She's been here about a week.
I think she's doing very well! It took a few days for her to be able to poop, but the constipation appears to be gone with pumpkin and salmon hairball treatment. Her fleas are taken care of with Revolution as well as Capstar. The appointment for her to get fixed has been moved to the 13th because the vet is concerned due to how long she was outside that you might be pregnant. So they want to get her in sooner rather than later. (I am not convinced of that but I am not a vet.)
She has some sort of an ear problem and she's a little itchy and slightly vocal about it when she is scratching her ears. I have used over-the-counter ear drops to help her feel better and before her spay they will look at her ears. We have already scheduled a follow up appointment for her on the 27th when she's hopefully mostly healed up from being spayed to do a really detailed physical and see what else she needs help with.
After discussions with family members and friends the pick for her name is going to be Dorothy with a nickname of Dot. She is still sleeping in the cage at night, but she is out all day. My cats have settled in and aren't bothered by her, but she's still a little nervous with them. So I don't want to take her safe space away until I'm sure that she doesn't need it any longer. Her current weight is 6 lb 10 oz so she's not too tiny.
We're just working on getting more food in and helping get her comfortable enough for her surgery in a week. I think she is also getting vaccinations the day she gets spayed so these are her first vaccinations that we know of as well. I think she's doing really well and the fact that my cats have accepted her so quickly is the miracle I had hoped for!
