    Thoughts of good being sent to you and Grandma kitty.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    Just seeing this now. Prayers from RI for MOFF and Grandma.

    I have never had a cat eat the vet KD food, either, lol.

    Thyroid meds, yep, I have had good success with those, and with appetite stimulants.

    I find the cat will take the grain free canned food, the one in a gel NOT the one in gravy. Once they have kidney and thyroid issues, I found the gravy just went right through but the gel seemed to help the cat hold fluids. Weruva, Tiki Cat and Fussie Cat are the brands I've used. My cats love the Weruva Marbella Paella.

    I'm glad she's able to come home and hopefully she'll start eating for you again. My RB Storm also had hyperthyroidism and he was very good about taking his pills. I would just put them in chicken flavored pill pockets. I would cut the pill pocket into 4 pieces so I didn't have to buy them so often and then I would wrap a piece around the pill. He loved treats so he just thought the he was getting a treat. Good luck.

    If Grandma won't eat the KD, Royal Canin makes a kidney food that cats seem to like better. There was a cat in our shelter who had to be on this for awhile and really liked it. If you can't give her a pill they make the thyroid med as a paste that goes on the inside of the ear. My grumpy tortie Bosun gets that and she's doing really well.

    Hi, everyone! Grandma got home last night and even started eating. She spent the night in my bed in her favorite place. This morning she ate fairly good. She doesn't seem to mind the kd food, for now at least.
    The only flavor they had was chicken and she loves chicken. I got her a case of it so hope she continues to like it. We have a winter storm moving in and I didn't want to risk her being without her special food.

    She even took her thyroid pill like a trooper today.

    She has been drinking and urinating but like normal today! So right now, things are looking up.

    The kd food looks a lot different than the last time I tried to feed it to a cat. It's now in the small cans like I usually use and comes in a flavor she likes. It used to only come in liver. I've never had a cat that liked liver. yuck don't blame them at all.

    She goes back in a couple of weeks for a recheck.

    Grandma and I thank you all for your love and well wishes and prayers. You are all the best!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
