Oversleeping and Observations

I overslept this evening, missing Flower's mealtime. I laid down at 10:30PM to take a nap before her midnight meal, but I slept through my alarm and woke up at 3AM. This makes about 9 hours between meals, which is much longer than I wanted. It did, however, make me think about changing her overall feeding schedule to try to get nearly the entire volume of one can of food in. If I feed her 35cc at each meal and give them at 6AM, Noon, 6PM, 10PM, and 2AM then I can feed her 175cc daily; most recently I mixed one can with a minimal amount of Pedialyte to make a total volume of 200cc. If one can is 220 Cal (not 100% certain about this), and I assume 0 Cal for Pedialyte, then 175cc gets Flower to about 192 Cal per day: not quite 220 but close. If I increase each serving to 40 cc then I can get the full can of food in. I need to double-check with the doctors about this volume.

On another note, she's seems to be getting stuffy in her nose. There have been several times now when she will breathe her mouth, make an odd type of purring sound, something that could almost become a growl. I think from the doctors that this is a sign that she is developing an upper respiratory infection, somthing to keep in mind. I don't want her to get any sicker right now if I can help it, but I think the meds are taking their toll on her as well.

The meal for tonight/this morning was @3:30AM. It's now about 4:00 and she's purring or breathing heavily, I'm not sure which. I gave her ondansetron and cyproheptadine with her meal just now and about 30cc of food. When I fill the syringe to 35+cc of food, eject the food into a container to heat it, and then refill the syringe, I always come up shorter than I expect. She seems content right now; I was worried about taking so long between doses of ondansetron that she might vomit again, but she seems fine so far.
