Well, I took Misty to the Vet's last night. Her kidneys are no longer enlarged. Her urine is clear. She gained two ounces. I said about the weight loss and her not eating. I said that I've been feeding her table scraps. He said that I need to force her to eat her food by not feeding her table scraps. I said, she can't eat her food. She just stares at it, meows, licks it but doesn't eat it. So he looked at her teeth. Voila, that's the culprit. She has gingivitis and periodonitis. Her teeth are so bad that she can't eat her hard cat food. She goes in next Thursday (Valentine's Day) to go under anesthesia and have her teeth cleaned. They're going to try to get her in earlier. I went home and checked Fawn's and his are fine. These cats have been on the same food for the past seven years. I thought hard food helped to clean their teeth. I can't believe how bad they were. I hurt just looking at them. Now I'm hoping she's strong enough to handle the anesthesia. If it's not one thing to worry about, it's another, huh? Well, thank you all for your concern and prayers. I'll need more prayer next Thursday.
