    Thanks for the update. I'm so glad to hear that Priscilla is starting to eat on her own again. I hope that her health will continue to improve and that she'll also start gaining some weight. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

    So glad she's eating better now...let's hope it lasts. Like many others, I, too, had a sub-q furbaby who didn't like to eat. You do what you can to make them comfortable.

    Have you tried canned salmon? The stink stimulates their appetite.

    Prayers on the way for you and Priscilla.

    Thank you good friends and kitties. Priscilla has been eating today too. When I was about to get up, she jumped up on the table by my bed to let me know she's WAITING for her breakfast.. First time in a while she'd left her resting quarters let alone jumped up on something.. She ate some more Eukanuba Renal kibble and more Fancy Feast kibble.. got her fluids and her Blood and Energy and her Calcitriol and her MaxCal syringes..

    I got home this afternoon and found a message from Dr. Lewis saying she'd heard back from the guy at Michigan State.. he thinks we should get a urine sample and do some tests on that.. also maybe do something else medically. I tried calling her back, but she'd just left, so she'll get back to me tomorrow. I also made an appointment to drop Priscilla off at the vet's next Tuesday (first day anything can be done what with weekend and holiday) so they can get a urine specimen.

    Thanks, ShylanHal and your dad for the sympathy and good wishes (and the bumper sticker thought), Candace for the cheers, Raven's Mom for the food suggestions (we already keep chicken baby food on hand! sometimes she loves it, sometimes has no interest), KAK for the encouragement, AbbyMom for the canned salmon suggestion (good idea about the smell! I'll get some!),and Gary for the Fancy Feast idea (usually we have that around but not right now, so I'll pick some of that up too). Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support and kind positive thoughts and encouragement.. Priscilla and I both love you all! (Peony and Sydney and Poppy and Elmer think you're pretty swell too. )

    Pat and Priscilla

    Thank you, Katie and kitties (I kiss cats on the lips too!), Lorraine, and Anikaca77 for all the prayers and good wishes!

    Priscilla just had her lunchtime syringe-feeding of MaxCal plus a few tuna-flavored Feline Greenies she ate on her own.

    Love and purrs,
    Priscilla and Pat
