Getting Stella to eat

DSCF0683.JPGGetting Stella to eat is not an easy task. This weekend she didn’t want to eat much of anything. I’m not sure what to do. She is drinking well, but she doesn’t want to touch the wet kitten food, her Fromm dry food, Ambush’s food, the tuna cat food from Trader Joe’s, or the other various things I’ve tried. She hasn’t touched anything that I’ve seen since Saturday.

She’s tried to eat Ranch veggie dip (not good) and has eaten a little bit of lunch meat. That’s it. We will see what she’ll eat tonight. I’m going to pick up another flavor of the Fromm dry food and see if that helps. Maybe I’ll cook some eggs, lamb, and rice for her tonight.

I know she has lost weight again. Just when we finally broke through the 5 pound mark last week. For Stella, losing a few ounces is a big thing. I’m not sure what to do.

We have a vet appointment tomorrow for fluids. If Stella hasn’t eaten by then, we’ll see what they say.

    I called my vet in Tennessee for a second opinion on the way in to work this morning. She said it is possible that another vet could hear a murmur that she missed. She also suggested getting a second opinion: 80% of the cats she diagnoses with murmurs really don’t require much treatment because it…

  • Snow!

    Of course right when I need to get Kiesha to the vet we have the first snow of the year and everything is closed down. Sigh. I’m just glad that my office lets me work from home when necessary. Not a lot of snow here. Just enough to make the roads slippery and hard to…
