I made an appointment for my CKD cat Trixie to be seen this Friday for litterbox issues. Since I made the appointment, she seems to be threatening to go on a hunger strike - She did not touch her dry food, and didn't eat her canned food with her usual enthusiasm. This is the second time this has happened, as she went on a hunger strike in December also. I took her to an urgent care vet which rechecked her kidney values and gave her some fluids, and she pulled out of it that time.
I called the vet's office today, and was told that they can't work her in before Friday, but to let them know if I find another place that can work her in sooner. I want her to be seen by her regular vet, as I'm hoping they will give her a more thorough work up than urgent care would. However, I don't want to add hepatic lipidosis to her other problems. Does three or four mouthfuls of canned food a day sound adequate to stave of lipidosis, or would it be better for me to call around and get her seen?
