Josie not eating.

Josie not eating.
JOSIE UPDATE 8TH JULY 2016
The vet ran me 8.30am this morning. Josie is very distressed and not eating. When he opens her box up, she is vocal, i.e. she is crying, but not vocal when no-one is there. She is not eating, he said this is due to stress and this is what they worry about. He has given her an appetite stimulant under the skin and he won't be in over the weekend. there will be another vet there.
He said he will scan her on Monday to see the levels of her radiation, and hopefully she will be able come home.

He said she might be like she was the first time on coming home, (she was aggressive and didn't want to be handled).

The clothing I had worn and asked them to put in there for her so she has my smell does not seem to be giving her any comfort at all he said. It's a bit heartbreaking, but she has to be there now till Monday hopefully her radioactive levels will be down enough for her to come home.
This is the hardest part of the treatment. Not all cats react this way.

Thanks a lot Eddie, it's going to be a very long weekend for Josie and me I think. It's still friday here, just after midday, I really hope she can come home on Monday. I hope you have nice weather there for the weekend. xo
