My Dusty is 10 and has had several health issues, though she is relatively healthy now.  I'm doing my best to get her to gain some weight.  One thing I do is to water down her canned food.  I add water to it and stir it up until it is mushy.  She likes it better that way, and will usually finish...

I don't know what to make of it either.  She was diagnosed through blood work.  She was at her worst about 2 years ago, when she got a horrid ear infection.  The vet put her under to treat her ears, and did a dental at the same time.  It took forever for her to get better, and there was even the...

I haven't been here much the past couple of years.  In 2006 Dusty was diagnosed with CRF.  I was advised by the vet that this is generally fatal and she may live a few months or a few years.  I decided that I wasn't going to treat her with expensive and upsetting medicine, and I would allow her...

Thank you for that information.

I thought I would add that I don't want to cause her any more stress than absolutely necessary, so I am delighted that I don't have to force feed her the vitamin.  I also want to avoid any more vet trips - not the expense - but the stress of the car trip.  I know her condition is irreversible...

My 9 yo cat has CRF.  I've posted about her before, but it's been quite awhile.  She is very skinny, and I'm trying to get her appetite up.  The last time I saw the vet he suggested giving her viamin B complex.  He said I can just buy it at the drug store.  So I got some, but I am now concerned...

My CRF kitty has really rallied from near death last year to gaining over a pound, anemia improved (based on visual appearance of gums that used to be pale and are now healthy pink), coat nice and thick (compared to fur loss last year).  I'm not medicating her.  I just changed her food to Paws...

She was diagnosed several years ago after having a blood panel.  I have not had recent blood work for financial reasons, but she is much better off now than she was 4 years ago, and especially last year when we thought she was near death.

My 9 yo Dusty girl was diagnosed with CRF several years ago.  Last year we thought she was living on borrowed time.  She was about 5 lbs, had lost lots of fur, had chronic ear infections, wasn't eating much and even the vet suggested we think about putting her down.  My husband would have no...

I think this kitty needs to live with you. I also think it is cruel to not feed him, so I'm glad you aren't letting him starve.

My underweight kitty Dusty has gained weight on Paws canned. Her favorite flavors are Beef & Liver and Chicken & Liver.

I love roasted almonds. I'll buy a bag of raw almonds, then spread them on a cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 15 min. Or you could eat raw pecans, but they are higher in calories than almonds. How about a hard boiled egg? There are also protein shakes for diabetics - Glycerna? The important...
