Hi Lisa,

Sorry to have been away so long--I just got in and saw your post.

I'd still suggest the Nat Mur--it will address any lingering grief, check the sparseness of the hair (though this could be pretty normal, depending on the kitty's actual age) and seems to fit in well with your description of her as a "snot machine" which sneezes all the time. It will also help to get rid of the worms GPM's described, if they are there. I'd start with a potency like 30c, mixed in with her water. The poor shmoo has been through quite a traumatic couple of days--a stoning, the death of her sibling, and a clear, violent separation from her mom.

But, now you're her mom! Yay!

If she's already started to munch on raw meat, I have high hopes for your new baby. I also agree that dog food simply doesn't supply the right nutrients for kitties--cats are true carnivores and must have all 22 amino acids in their foods, including taurine. This requirement doesn't exist for doggies, who do very well with less meat--so do try to stick to GPM's advice for kitten supplement foods and the fresh, raw meats, if she can handle them. Eggs are great for kitties, too.

She may start to display some "wacky" food desires after the Nat Mur--one classic thing that kitties start to do after they recuperate their appetite and successfully evade starvation is they begin to display signs of "pica"--the desire to eat undigestible things. If you see her licking the mortar joints between bricks or paving stones or concrete, consider a dose of calc carb as a follow-up after the Nat Mur.

Okay, hope that helps...
Divina
