Just checking in to say HI! and how is Priscilla doing?
Nine is Fine!!
Thanks, Candace and Gina and Sandra. Priscilla is doing about the same.. eats some but not much on her own, and I give her some MaxCal mixed with a little warm water, mostly from a syringe, and I give her her fluids twice a day. I spoke with Dr. Lewis a little this evening. I asked her about the raw meat, and she said that while high-calorie food is not the best in kidney cases, at this point you just want her to eat so I should try anything I think she might like.
I did try some more of the Fancy Feast Ocean Whitefish and Tuna, but she still was not interested, and some of the Eukanuba Multi-Stage Renal wet food, but she voted Paws Down this time.
Dr. Lewis wants to check her hematocrit again and see if it is still holding steady at around 11 (or even improving), so I'm taking Priscilla over tomorrow afternoon for that blood test.
Thanks for the details of how you introduced Star to the raw-meat diet, Gina. I think I will give that a try when I can pick up a little raw organic meat, with luck tomorrow.
Thanks again, everyone, for all your thoughts and encouragement and prayers and good wishes.
Pat and Priscilla

I'm sorry to hear that there are still not many things Priscilla is interested in.
With Filou raw meat is always a favorite- he loves ground steak![]()
I am just seeing this thread about Priscilla for the first time today. I don't have any experience of this situation to share with you, but send my best wishes for Priscilla's blood test.
Best wishes and fervent prayers for Priscilla and you. I hope she keeps on eating!
We had that experience with some of our RB cats. We tried everything we could think of to get them to eat. It was like a cheering section when one would take a couple of bites!
Come on Priscilla, you can do it!!!

hi pat and priscilla, I had been thinking about you both, had to come and check on you, priscilla! I'm sad to hear you're still not eating... I wish you would tell us what you'd like! {{{gentle stritches}}} ..
pat, what your vet said were the same thing what mine said. but can you imagine a really, really small portion of a raw meat (baby red grape-size, maybe?) would kill priscilla instantly? "it can't be, it didn't killed me! it gave me a miracle..," said star. if priscilla loves it, try mix it with whatever other vet food she would try so she wouldn't get too much of "high-attackers". what's her BUN level? star had really high - highest probably - when she began eating raw meat. don't let this discourage you, it took star about a month and half to look a lot better, and perky, ...well worth it!!!
we all wish you a big luck that priscilla would eat something today! AND big desiring hope there would be no murphy's law today either! we love you, little one... please eat.
p.s. be careful with steak - chicken, than any other meat are always best to begin with for a start! gentle protein for now...
Cats sure can be frustrating!! BUT, at least Priscilla is eating, even though it be a little!! Boo did the same thing. I gave her baby food, canned tuna, even her ALL time favourite food, butter. ANYTHING to get her to eat....and eventually, she did eat... Sandra
