What wonderful news.

Took her to local vet's office to weigh her (not her regular vet)............

She weighed 17 lbs May 15th.

She weighed 12.7 lbs June 15th (I was told to feed her more dry because wet food doesnt have enough calories), So I started mixing powdered dry with wet food.

She weighed 9.7 lbs today (July 26th)

I'm trying Nutral Cal (just gave her some, she liked it) a couple times a day. It's high in calories.

I'm feeding her 3 times a day (averages out to every 5-6 hours). Going to 4x a day is just not feasable and have a regular life. As it is now I feed her morning, mid afternoon, mid evening.

It figures her regular vet only works 1/2 days on Thursdays (they used to not be open at all), I decided to take her over to weigh at 4 p.m. LOL
I will call them tomorrow.

Prayers are needed

I hate to hear that, lets hope it is nothing to worry about. Maybe she needs a few more days to start gaining?

DRAT! Not such good news after all.

The nutrical will help. And maybe the vet will have you use canned a/d or other high calorie prescription food.

Prayers for dear Thumper.

Oh Thumper girl, you need to gain some weight sweetie!! Keep eating like you are and get chubby!! Big hugs and kissies to you!

Hmmm, my Creamsicle has lost more weight, too, although she's eating normally also. Maybe she and Thumper have joined a weight loss program for cats and didn't tell us.
