> But anyway it seems to have worked. I've cleaned her up (along with the entire bathroom - yuck!), and she's feeling and looking much better, although very weak.I'm so sorry about all of this Peg. I'm sure it's been heart wrenching for you to watch your kitty decline. BUT, she has been so blessed to have such a wonderful mommy who would see her through so much, and take such good care of her even if she has to have such drastic measures.
You are a saint!>
> And this is related to psychology, because, after it was all over, and she was drying herself from her bath, I kind of fell apart last night. Couldn't deal with anything. I had to do some serious dissociating to make it through the night (but I didn't SI!).I'm sorry that you fell apart, but sounds like after all of that, it was called for. That's awesome that you were able to fight off the SI! You did great!

> The one bright point, was actually also at the low point, when my husband was holding the (horribly stinky) cat in the bathtub and I was administering the enema, and the baby started screaming in the other room. My husband turned to me and said, "I love you" with a smile. >
Awwww, that IS so cool! We should all have such wonderful hubbys!
