Sherry, I just got off the phone with the vet. He said the main thing right
now is to get her eating this weekend. He suggested water-packed tuna stirred in with the dry food. Persia may be the only cat who doesn't like tuna. He said, then try some Fancy Feast. Oh! She'll be thrilled to hear/eat that! He also suggested something odd: chicken noodle soup mixed in with the dry food. Really?! Hmmm, never would have thought of that. Let us know if she eats the Fancy Feast, ok? It just worries me when they get "off" their food. I'm glad the vet seems concerned about protecting her liver functions. Keeping enough food going through her system will help that. If she dives into the Fancy Feast, we'll know she was just telling you she doesn't *like* the new food. Still purring!! Sherry |

So, apparently it's just the UR food she doesn't like. I'm glad he gave me the go-ahead on this, but I am concerned for the future. She's not supposed to eat food with high magnesium or ash content on a regular basis, and FF has both. Maybe the canned UR will satisfy her... I'll find out next week. Jill |

"jmcquown" wrote Oh no, Jean! I'm so sorry to hear that. After all the trouble Persia went to to insist I become her human, I'm counting on her being stubbornly insistent she stay with me for years and years. I'm on hold with the vet's office right now; he was with a patient but they said he'll talk to me in a few minutes if I will hold. Of course I will. Jill, I hope the vet has put your mind at ease by now. Maybe this is the b*st*rd cat trick Persia was planning to punish you for leaving her? ;o) Peaches isn't off her (his?) food, is she (he?)? Purrs that Persia turns out OK. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

Purrs that Persia turns out OK. It's quite possible this is the trick Persia intended to pull on me! Peaches isn't able to pull it off; I gave her a slice of apple yesterday before I left for work and she devoured it. She was probably chirping apologies to Persia all day for being so weak. Jill |

"jmcquown" dumped this in
on 10 Apr 2004: She's not supposed to eat food with high magnesium or ash content on a regular basis, and FF has both. Maybe the canned UR will satisfy her... I'll find out next week. That is so great that she ate. I wonder if the vet would ok letting you mix in the FF and start cutting it back until it is all UR? Worth asking. -- Cheryl |
