[QUOTE="Lil, post: 738492, member: 17309"] Oh my I'm so sorry to hear this, from both you Copa and you SWOT. Cats are such funny little creatures, not as needy and openly loving as dogs, but for any cat person at least, they worm their way into your heart like nothing else. Our Boo is also having renal problems. The vet put her on a special food. She won't eat it. Period. She was so bad about the dry food she wouldn't eat wet food the dry food was touching - like a little kid who won't eat his potatoes if the broccoli touches it. It took us weeks to find a wet food (non-medicated) that she would eat. Now we're mixing it with the wet prescription food. We're up to about a 55/45 mix - more prescription than otc. We'll see if we can eventually get her switched over. She has to have it "fresh". If it gets a few hours old she won't eat it. We supplement it with Purina dry at night just because if we give her more wet food overnight, she wastes it. We hope that having at least half her food be the prescription is better than nothing. Because she really will eat NOTHING. She'll starve and cry and lose weight. She's a tiny cat anyway - like 7 or 8 lbs; a pound is a lot of weight to lose! Oh Copa, this sounds so awful! But, is there ANY chance that maybe the medication put her in a kind of remission? Maybe she won't go back into distress? At least they'll get her in on a cancellation. I know you don't want to see her suffer...but surely it wouldn't be for long... Big hugs to you both and gentle pats to your furry kids. [/QUOTE]
