My Big Mr Purr is more or less in the same way , Mary.
His kidneys are weak, and it may be a matter of time before he needs IV Fluids.
Michael is on Rantidine , Feline Omega 3 Fish Oil and Sulcrate Plus Suspension every twelve hours.
What bothers me is that mMchael spends 90 % of his time in a small are in an old recycled stereo stand , and sleeps all the time.
He no longer comes up the stairs to see me , and when I carry him up and put him on the bed, he more or less falls on the pillow steps I have made for him and slwoly goes back to his hide out.
I am concerned as Miquelito and pouncierge are a bit rough , Miquelito head butts Michael the way he always has , but Michael is too old for that sort of play.
He is off his G/D food half the time and wants his Fancy Feast and White Grilled Chicken.
Its a dilemma , do I feed Michael what he wants, as he is 19, or do I try to feed him the recommended food that he doesn't care for.
Poor Old Michael and Boo, it's not easy getting old , is it.
We are sending Our Prayers and best wishes for Boo, Mary and that he is still enjoying his life. That is what I am praying for Michael too, that he is enjoying his golden years.
