I was told this by the cat food expert at the training session I attended in VA.
Maybe it doesn't meet the recommendations?

Sorry for the confusion, I will try to investigate more before I throw out any information on folks.

Glad to hear that Thumper is eating better. She sure does like to scare ya, huh?

Yep, she is doing a great job at it LOL

I'm getting the mixture of wet food & dry ground up pretty good. I do measure out the 1/2 cup for the days feedings. So, at the end of the day I can tell how much she consumed for the day. I'm not stressing out if she happens to not eat the whole 1/2 cup. She is getting feed 3 times a day, it's working out to be every 6 hours. The first meal of the day she is a chow hound (from over night).

I called the vet's office today and they said I'm on the right track for getting enough calories etc into her. My vet said "give her all she wants".

I know this is very late and I apoligize for not keeping up to date, but my vet recommends Baby food!


Gerber's #2 in either the chicken or turkey. Add a little into the dry or wet foot to"boost" their interest. Have you ever smelled that stuff Ugh, poor (real) babies and kitties!!

But the stinkier and smellier = the better to get their attention! Oh well..........



P.S.

How is her tumor doing?????

Fancy Feast Gourmet Chicken is now her favorite. I mix it with ground up dry food. She is now getting enough calories a day to maintain her weight, she thankfully hasnt lost anymore weight. When on wet food only which isnt a good diet, because there isnt enough calories. We found out the hard way when she dropped from 17 lbs to 12 lbs in 2 weeks.

Answer to how the tumor is doing. It's getting bigger

She can only groom under her chin, guess what happens to that area of the chest? Thumper is now bald in her chest area. I'm going to make her little bandanna to cover up that area so maybe hair can grow back.
