Kiri's latest vet check--update post #120.

[Prairie Purrs]

The good news is that Kiri is home and sitting on my lap right now.

The bad news is that she's got a bad URI along with everything else. No wonder she's not wanting to eat! I hope I don't have to force-feed her, but whatever it takes.

The worst news is that the vet thinks that there's some kind of hard-to-detect cancer underlying all of this. He said that he's seen several cats whose kidney failure was likely caused by the poisoned food (one died ), and none of them had their kidney functions bounce back the way Kiri's did. So he thinks that her problems are caused by something else.

She's obviously a sick kitty right now, but I don't think she's ready to give up yet. I've got to get some food into her, though. I'm going to pick up some baby food for her--any suggestions as to what flavors might be tempting?

Penny, you know I am so not going to tell you to feed her baby food..................................may I intrude on our friendship? Try some cottage cheese and yougurt, also some scrambled egg.

When I first got Puddy at 5 wks. old, my vet had me feed her chicken baby food. Of course, she didn't have a UTI. But w/out a doubt, all my furkids love chicken.

Mine too. I think I had Beechnut chicken and broth and turkey and broth, and also the sweetpotatoes. Just make sure there are no onions or garlic in the ingredients. Could you also cook some chicken on your own and puree it with some of the cooked broth? That way you could blend it into a slurry and use a large needleless syringe to force feed her if necessary.
