Pouncer Update...He needs PT prayers!!

[kitimom]

Wonderful news about Pouncer!!!
Looking forward to those pix, too!!!

[orangemm]

I'm so glad your boy is home again, where he can recuperate with those who love him. Now if only we could get Harry to knock it off, things would be great!

It's good that Harry's calmed down a bit, though. Have you considered tranquilizers for HIM?

Come on, Pouncer, eat some more for your meowmie........

Kim, I'm so glad to hear that Pouncer is continuing to do well. Hopefully you'll be able to find food that he'll love to eat. I also look forward to seeing new pictures of him.

I am so glad Pouncer is doing better- but I also would like to hear what the vet thinks it was- a bad attack of UTI only- or what is it about his liver and/or kidneys?

Does he have crystals? If he doesn't have them, then diet for UT makes no sense. Our Tigris had an attack of non-crystal UTI two years ago and has been fine since then.

If it's kidneys- most cats I've heard of here like Royal Canin Renal better than Hill's.

All the best for the sweet boy.

I'm so glad that Pouncer is back to normal. But if Harry gives you any more trouble, I'll send my Puddy over there. She'll straighten him out.

I hope I'm doing hte right thing..... he REFUSES to eat the SD food. I even tried to force feed him the SD food. Not working, he spits it out. The vet has an alternate food that I can pick up tomorrow. He has only eaten half a can since thursday.... he's hungry but refusing to eat the prescription food. So I popped open a can of Fancy Feast (its all I have). He's downing it like a scavenger and growling at the others who are trying to jump in - usually he'd walk away and let them have it, but today he's gaurding it.

Anyway, I hope I made the right choice. I figure the wrong food is better than NO food. No food can't be good for his kidneys or anything else. I'll get the alternate food tomorrow morning.


Otherwise, he's 100% back to normal. Just hungry.

[catfamily]

I would of done the same.
But who knows what to do next when cats are supose to eat the right food for them and they don't.

Oh, that is so great that Pouncer is on the right road to recovery!!
That must be such a relief for you! Now we just need to get him eating. And I know how frustrating that can be, I went through this just recently with Taz.
Good luck!! And I would have fed him what ever he wanted too!!

My vet says it is more important for Beau to eat than to force the renal diet on him. Beau doesn't eat kibble in any form. I recently got some Royal Canin Renal diet, comes in little pouches. He loves it! He won't eat S/D or K/D canned. He does really like the A/D stuff. That's what I give him when he isn't eating well. It's not meant to be a long term diet, but it is apparently very appetizing even to a sick kitty.

Beau would prefer that I fed him nothing but Petcetra's store brand canned food, the Tuna and Prawn with Rice formula only. I alternate that with the renal diet stuff. That cat eats better than I do!

Glad to hear Pouncer is feeling better.

My vet says it is more important for Beau to eat than to force the renal diet on him.

Same here for Ripley. Right now he is loving Nutro senior can food (thank goodness it wasn't on the recall list!) mixed with his Nutro senior dry so the vet said as long as he is eating well and getting good moisture from the food to stick with that.

I figure the wrong food is better than NO food.

I think so, too! And I hope you'll eventually find a renal diet food that Pouncer likes!
