Because I am working from home during COVID, I spend way to much time tracking the comings and goings of the Furrals. I worry when any of the regulars (Mommy, Tiny, Daddy, Orange Boi and Gimpy) miss a meal. Even though I know the toms will wander (Daddy will poof for days at a time), it stresses me out.
This time it was Mommy that was missing for four days. She always hangs close to the house and never misses a meal, ever. She was congested for several days and wheezing a bit before vanishing so I had extra cause for concern. She finally returned and was even more raspy. This is the really hard part of this for me. She is totally feral and I cannot get my hands on her to help her when she needs it. I did offer her some vitamins, which she ate. I tried to get her to eat stinky food with an antibiotic in it and she ate most of one dose but wouldn't touch it after that. She even refused food a several times, preferring to sit on the throne (the massive wood glider) and sneeze instead. Fortunately for her (and my blood pressure), she did bounce back after a few days. She started eating with gusto and the sniffles were definitely clearing. I hope that once she gets over this bout that she can stay healthy for a good long time.
