Priscilla's failing kidneys

Thank you, Kim. She's even eating some of the MaxCal wet food on her own, so I don't have to syringe-feed it all!

Happy New Year to you and yours, too!

All fingers and paws are crossed that this is a good indication that Priscilla is well on the road to recovery!!!!

Thanks, Sandra. I brought home some Fancy Feast Whitefish & Tuna Feast tonight. Boy, did she ever tear into that! (So did all the others, or I would have given her more! Back to the store to get more tomorrow.)

Yesterday she went to the vet's so they could collect a urine sample. They'll let me know the results when they get them - 5 to 7 working days. Meanwhile, we're to keep on as we have been.

Hi Pat!!
You know even though Fancy Feast is not the best for a kidney cat to eat, there are times when you just have to get them to eat again!!! Molly is like that. All the things I know about the protein go right out the window!! I am so happy to hear about Priscilla REALLY enjoying her Fancy Feasts!!!! O,O, I think Molly heard!!!! Take Care, Sandra

Hi Sandra!! I tried another Fancy Feast (chicken liver and something, I think) on her, but she was not interested. You'll be glad to know it did not go to waste, though, as the other cats made short work of it.

I haven't had a chance yet to pick up more of the Ocean Whitefish and Tuna Feast yet.. but this evening she ate a serving of the MaxCal on her own so I did not have to syringe-feed it.

She likes kibble too (KD! and now and then some Fancy Feast kibble), but I don't think she eats much of it. She looks like she's really working on it, and then I see she's still got quite a bit in her bowl.

I know Fancy Feast is not the greatest kidney-cat food in the world, but sometimes I just want her to eat something and really enjoy it!

Thanks again,
Priscilla and Pat and the gang

Continued HOORAYS for Priscilla!!! Eat, girlfriend!!! Molly just loves her Friskies! Wen I tell the vet what she eats, the vet cringes, but Molly IS eating, and at 13+ that is what we want.....Enjoy your food Priscilla!

I'm sorry to see what Priscilla has had to go through - and you too, but glad she's now eating on her own.

You are such a good mommy.

It seems that some of the medicine has helped. I hope Priscilla will continue to feel perkier and have many years with you yet.

Sending positive thoughts to Priscilla, and you. Give her kisses and scritchies.
