More Filou worries- 1/28 good update post 128

[Cinder & Smoke]

Have you tried "Baby Food"?

Comes in multiple "flavours" ... possibly pick up an assortment and
try to entice him by warming it slightly.

Prayers that something Yummie catches his fancy.

Filou, please eat!!!

Hope the vet visit and the fluids helped you to get your appetite back!

(am on my way to work now, but I will keep you and your meowmie in my thoughts...)

Filou, please start eating and gain some weight. You're making your meowmie very upset and you're making us all worry about you too. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care Barbara. (((HUGS)))

Come on Filou, eat!!!!

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Barbara, I hope Filou will eat for you. Phred's suggestion of using baby food is a good one. It is something I have done over the years when the going got rough for my kids.

In the meantime - big hugs to you as you care for Filou.

I hope Filou starts to eat more soon! I know what that worry is like, but your little guy is so much thinner than my chubber that stopped eating. He's now doing better (but still diabetic).

Come on Filou!!! Eat please!!

Tuesday fluids and an injection of appetite boosting glucose- not much result.
Wednesday the same: first no result. We went to a concert in the evening and came home late- tried to entice the boy with everything. He was around and interested, licked a little bit egg yolk (less than a tea spoon), didn't want his beloved Gimpet paste and not even the Temptations auntie Vio brought.
I was desperate but his behavior was still as if he wanted something and we just didn't know what (mouse liver pate I guess).
Then I opened a sample package of organic chicken and pumpkin which had been around for a while and of which we had checked a second sample when we first got it- nobody had wanted it (as usual with the special healthy food). This time he licked it from the tin but didn't eat much. We put him some on a small plate and on the table (to give him the suggestion he could eat like a human) - and there we go- he came back and ate it. And a second plate.
So Thursday was vet break and when I came home Siegmar told me he had eaten really well. Two little bowls of ground beef. And some goose fat- you can get it here around Christmas time and we bought some. And some liver sausage. And then -oh miracle- even a bit of his own renal food. No I won't spell "spoiled" here.
He goes for another appetite booster today as we want Trude the vet to have the weekend off. She is fantastic and the day we wanted to go to the concert she even had offered to pick him up and keep him at home until we are home. She is not ready to give Filou up and this is a good sign for me.
