Not sure which to give first...so will give you the bad and hope the good makes the bad seem not too bad...
I was up at about 1am to feed Lily, I put her back to bed about 1:30. Sometime around 2:20am I heard some weird noises, so got up to see what it was. I opened Lily's baby box to find her in the middle of a seizure, or at least that's what I think it was...she was very stiff and her head was moving really fast and she had white foam coming from her mouth. I can't say how long it lasted. I'm sure it didn't last as long as it felt. I sat with her after for another determinable amount of time and was back in bed by 3:45. I can't explain why this would have happened, I am almost certain that she had a previous one the day she came, I thought it was from low blood sugar but now I'm not so sure. she will be off to the vet on Tuesday to see if we can get some answers.
The good news is that my gut was right last night. Taking her off solid food seems to have A) increased her appetite and B) caused some major weight gain. I am very impressed with her weight today which I will post at the end. She has a nice full belly and is starting to look the part of a kitten, baby belly and all. She is very active still but not confident enough to walk far away from wherever I am, she just kinda sits there looking and will play around my feet but that's about it. She loves belly rubs and gentle stroking. She has a great purr and it doesn't take much to get that motor started.
Anyway now for the huge gain in weight.....
Today she weighed 227G...a big jump from all the previous gains. I plan on keeping her on formula only for another week or so and than will slowly add in the canned food again, but for now it's working and I ain't messing with what works!
