Please pray for my Grandma kitty

[kaycountrygal]

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.

This sounds exactly like what happened to Mac. He stopped eating and was losing weight. The vet ran some tests, found out it was his thyroid, and sent him home with thyroid pills (fairly inexpensive) and some appetite stimulants. He has been on the thyroid pills since last summer and is doing great! He is almost Grandma's age, about 15-years-old, so I think getting older has something to do with thyroid problems in cats. My vet said that as long as he took the pills, he could live for many more years. I sure hope so. I'm glad Grandma is coming home. Ask if they can send some appetite stimulant pills home. They really get them eating!

So glad she will be coming back home, and we hope the medicine will make her want to eat!

Moff, you can be assured you have my prayers and lots of them for Grandma and a bunch for you too.
I am glad that she is coming home to be with you. Just like us I think they enjoy being in their home when they are ill rather than being stuck in a hospital or clinic.

I sure hope she will eat - and that the medication helps her.

I will keep checking in on her.
