Tuesday fluids and an injection of appetite boosting glucose- not much result.
Wednesday the same: first no result. We went to a concert in the evening and came home late- tried to entice the boy with everything. He was around and interested, licked a little bit egg yolk (less than a tea spoon), didn't want his beloved Gimpet paste and not even the Temptations auntie Vio brought.
I was desperate but his behavior was still as if he wanted something and we just didn't know what (mouse liver pate I guess).
Then I opened a sample package of organic chicken and pumpkin which had been around for a while and of which we had checked a second sample when we first got it- nobody had wanted it (as usual with the special healthy food). This time he licked it from the tin but didn't eat much. We put him some on a small plate and on the table (to give him the suggestion he could eat like a human) - and there we go- he came back and ate it. And a second plate.
So Thursday was vet break and when I came home Siegmar told me he had eaten really well. Two little bowls of ground beef. And some goose fat- you can get it here around Christmas time and we bought some. And some liver sausage. And then -oh miracle- even a bit of his own renal food. No I won't spell "spoiled" here.
He goes for another appetite booster today as we want Trude the vet to have the weekend off. She is fantastic and the day we wanted to go to the concert she even had offered to pick him up and keep him at home until we are home. She is not ready to give Filou up and this is a good sign for me.
