A little concerned about Persia

I called the vet and asked for him to call me back but the evening came/went
with no phone call. He'll probably call me today (Saturday).

Some of you read about my great Dallas adventure and the fact that Persia
came down with another UTI while I was gone. She's doing okay with that but
I'm concerned about her weight.

She was at 15 lbs. (she's a long cat) this time last Fall. Then she
developed a UTI in December and was down to about 12 lbs. Now she's at 10
lbs. I've noticed she is not eating the UR food they've got her on. She'll
take a few bites, then just walk away. And she meows at me constantly if I
head for the kitchen, like "Please, I'm starving!" Okay, I know that's a
typical cat-trick but since her bowl is staying full of food I really do
think she's hungry. (I have not given in! No Fancy Feast!)

When she first adopted me another vet told me her ideal weight was 11 lbs.
Maybe I just got used to her being a 'fatty', but it feels very odd to me to
feel bones in her neck and her hips when I stroke her. And then to see
she's not really eating... maybe it's because she's still being treated for
the UTI (she's a good girl and lets me give her the Clavamox drops twice a
day) and still doesn't quite feel well? She's acting okay otherwise.
Running around, playing. Kneading my side in the middle of the night ("Mom,
I'm so glad you're home! and me too!")

I don't know, what do you think? Was I just used to a fatter cat or should
I be concerned over the drop in weight and lack of enthusiasm for this UR
food?

I know the vet will call me today, but wanted input from my pals here

if it were me then i would be a little concerned but i am neurotic when it
comes to my little darlings. the vet should put your mind at ease but i am
sure mistoffelees and Grizzy will be sending you some purrs that your mind
is put at ease later today.

Purrs to Persia I too would be concerned after having Henri
doing the same thing I think you should get him a blood test
that was the only way they found out what was wrong with him
he was 9-3.kl, and when I finally found that out, he was down to 5-6.kl
his kidneys were failing I could only keep him about a week after that
and had to have him put to sleep,hewas 13 1\2. I was devastated

My guys and girl are sending eating purrs for Persia. Oi, I'd be worried
too but I'm sure the vet will have some answers. Is she drinking?

Yes, she continues to drink from her fountain. Not inordinate amounts, just
normally.

Jill, that's an awful lot of weight for her to lose. I wouldn't worry about
that in itself, just the fact that she's not eating enough. I wonder if the vet
will let you switch to another food that she might like better. Purrs for
Persia to stay healthy!
