My boys and I are praying hard and thinking good thoughts for dear, sweet, Grandma!

Thanks everyone for the prayers. Please keep them coming. The vet just called. Grandma will get to come home around 5 tonight. Her kidneys are getting worse but they aren't too bad. She thinks that it's Grandma's thyroid that is causing the problem. She had lost a bit of weight since she was there in October.
Her thyroid then was 3.2 now it's 5.6. So they are going to start her on a thyroid pill and give her some kidney friendly food. They hope the thyroid med will stimulate her appetite and she will start eating. If she doesn't eat by tomorrow night, I'm to call them back. They feel she is more likely to eat here than she would if they kept her.

I just hope she will eat the food they send. She is sending that KD food. I've never had any luck getting my cats to eat that stuff.

I just saw the thread and read your last report. I'll send up prayers for both of you. I hope she'll get better. I'm wondering if it would be ok to cook some chicken and give a little chicken broth and/or a tiny bit of chicken (not greasy) to the vet food?? I've done that before when my Luke cat didnt like the vet food taste. I dont want to tell you to do anything that will hurt your kitty so use your own judgement. I was just thinking maybe tiny broth & tiny chicken & vet food would be better than nothing.

Prayers, good thoughts and purrs to sweet Grandma!

Get well soon, gorgeous

We're so glad Grandma is coming home to be with her family as she contends with this new medical issue. We hope the thyroid medicine will help and she will regain her appetite.

My kidney-challenged cats have always detested the KD food too. Are you talking about wet or dry or both, MoFF? We found another prescription wet food, Purina NF, which mine have found to be MUCH tastier. Not as many vets carry it, so you may have to call around, if you want to give that a try.

The suggestion about adding a little chicken broth and a bit of non-greasy chicken might work too, if your vet says okay.

Here's hoping for positive changes! We are all crossing our fingers and paw pads and saying our prayers and sending our healing energies for Grandma and for you, Connie.

Just seeing this. Prayers that Grandma will eat and feel better.

I hope she'll start eating better. When Ziggy wasn't eating well, she was also given a vitamin B12 shot. I then gave her 1 shot every week for about 4-6 weeks. It really helped her appetite. Hopefully Grandma will forgive you and you'll find a food that she'll enjoy eating again. More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

Well, the vote is in: klamz juz is out!!! Not only will Grandma not eat it or the klamz, but her indoor sibbies don't like it either. Even the two strays outside try and bury it!!! sigh

I put her back on her normal food last night because she had not eaten all day. She ate almost all of it.
I'm wondering if some chicken flavored people gravy over the kd food would work. She loves the wet food with gravy. Of couse, I can't make gravy so it would have to be the kind in the jar. sigh

The vet said to use tough love on her even if she doesn't eat for days. I'm sorry but I can't let my poor ole, blind girl go hungry like that.

Could you, perhaps, mix her very favorite food in with some kd? Like more of her favorite and just a little kd?
