A little concerned about Persia

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!!

She devoured half the Cod, Shrimp & Sole Fancy Feast without a qualm! 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.

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.

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.

I guess she really doesn't like her prescription food! I hope you'll
be able to find something that Persia likes.

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.
