After 6 hours we called the fire dept. They came out and basically said all they could do was squirt her down with the fire hose. We have left her food and water and try to coax her down every few hours. She moves around on a few branches (all the same height) and meows a lot. After 12 hours the fire dept came again (dear wife is beside herself) and said they didn't want hose her down , she could fall and hurt herself. Duh.
It's now been 36 hours and she is still about 40 feet up a pine tree. We did try to poke at her with a long pole but she went higher.
Vet has said after 3 days dehydration is a real issue and something must be done. My plan now is just to wait and see if hunger overcomes fear in time.
OK experts, who has experience here.Any suggestions? Just waiting is hard on Mari.
Thanks, Don
