Priscilla's failing kidneys

[Barbara]

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

Thanks for the good wishes and suggestions, Barbara, Karen, orangemm, Gina, and Sandra.

After I take Priscilla for her blood test (5:20pm), I will stop by Whole Foods and pick up a bit of raw organic beef. Should I just cut off a little tiny baby-grape-size chunk and offer it to her? Cut the little piece up into smaller bite-size pieces?

She didn't want to eat at all this morning. I syringe-fed her her 5cc of MaxCal. When I got here this afternoon, she wanted something to eat, so I gave her kibble, first KD and then Fancy Feast. She ate a little of both. I then tried one of those new Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys: White Meat Chicken Florentine in a Delicate Sauce With Garden Greens (who names these things?). She ate a little of the sauce off the top of her serving. The other cats took care of the rest. So then I syringe-fed her some more MaxCal.

Thanks, all, for the pep talk and the cheers.. I'm telling her too, You Go, Girl! (as well as how much I love her).

I thought for sure your cat would eat the Fancy Feast Medleys since that is the only thing Cosmo would eat after he was diagnosed with Kidney Disease. Have you tried just giving your kitty some tuna juice? Or putting some tuna juice on the cat food? Just a thought.
