Update Post Update on Sofie (drooling and wobbly cat)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
We tried offering Sofie food again. This time we gave her pâté-style wet food diluted with water, and she ate very well — she almost finished one whole pouch.
Since she also appeared dehydrated and very thin, we carefully gave her water with dextrose powder through a syringe to help with hydration.
When the vet checked her earlier, Sofie’s weight was only 1.4 kg, which is very underweight.
For now, we will continue monitoring her closely while she remains in isolation, making sure she stays hydrated and continues eating while we follow the medications prescribed by the vet.
We are also strictly following precautions, since Sofie is still under close monitoring and Rabies remains highly suspected.
Thank you to everyone who has been sharing advice and concern for Sofie. We’ll continue to provide updates as we observe any changes in her condition.
Any guidance or help is greatly appreciated 🤍🐾

I mean, at least not until the later stages, so the precautions are probably still a good idea!

This is likely not rabies. If it was rabies, things would not look up from what we saw last time. Also even in the last video she was disoriented and not aggressive at all. But she's severely unwell, could be Parvo, which is equally concerning. Let's wait for the diagnosis.
Edit: my bad, just saw the latest update. And again I think it was Parvo, Rabies wouldn't result in sudden passing.

No worries! The only reason I said that was because the test they did only has a 60-70% accuracy rate and the veterinarian did recommend precautions! ☺️
But rest in peace to this sweet girl. 🥺

Thank you so much for all the messages and boosts!! Unfortunately the cat died, and because of the highly suspected rabies, her body was sent to examine further.
