Priscilla's failing kidneys

[sandragonfly]

hi there all!

princess priscilla, I know this would be a long road to go but I'm glad to know you're still eating, even little by little! keep up easy work dear one.

pat, I think you should keep trying different raw meat until she tells you what she likes. well, loves! dry food may be "too dry" right now, as she needs a lot of sub-q fluids & moisture food. baby food - gerbers are best - not much artificals and salt in these. microwave it a bit up so you could smell it for priscilla.

just curious - are you thinking about, after she gets all better, to feed all of your cats raw diet? that would prevent anybody from kidney failures for next time. also, cheaper way to keep them healthier. trader joe's beef is what I got for star too.

is she doing her business good and regularly? I hope so, will be keeping you all in our purryers and sending cozy vibes to keep you all warm!! we just had ice storm here yesterday - always a good reason to own pets. all those cuddles, huggles and snuggles..

Hello,
I am so glad to hear that Priscilla is eating. My vet told me that the smeller the cat food the better since the amora makes them want to eat. Hang on to hope and enjoy each others time together. Priscilla sounds so loving and so loved. That is all any one can hope for wheather we are human or animal. Some people never get loved or know how to love. And sometimes an animal has more love, sweethness, kindness and understanding then a hundred people. I will continue to keep you and Priscilla in my prayers. It sounds as if she is doing well. Take care, Monica

I can attest to the above post about the smelly cat food!! It also helps to capture a cat for a rescue!!! But Priscilla is doing things her way and so far she is eating, although not alot, but she IS eating!!!

Thank you, everyone, for all the warm thoughts and good advice.

Priscilla went to the vet's today to get started on Epogen because of her low red blood cell count. But she had gained another .2 pound, and her hematocrit went up slightly from 13 to 14.. so once again we're going to wait on that and keep going as we are, and check her again in another week. Good little Priscilla, doing so well in her own little way!

I've had a long day and I'm very tired, so I'll say more in response to the suggestions about food tomorrow.

Thanks again, and love from us,
Pat and Priscilla (and Poppy and Elmer and Sydney and Peony)
