Kitty Farmcat has lost her appetite

my sister raises chickens and after the first kill, she dispensed with
plucking in the traditional sense and skinned them, says she won't ever go
back, Lee, drooling in bird envy of KFC

Thank Bast, my neighbours brought me 2 pheasants last Saturday and today
"voila!" the terrier men came again for a rat hunt and brought me another
2
with a Christmas card as an appreciation for letting them bring their
terriers here to rat.
We will be eating pheasant for the foreseeable future ;-) I just wish
they
came already plucked and gutted though..

Since yesterday. This panics me because of her CRF and her great age.
I have been down this road before with my old dogs, of offering
tempting
little morsels of various wonderful foods, only to have them rejected
and
for me to get more and more despairing as they reach end-stage CRF.

Kitty cannot afford not to eat. She is getting frailer and frailer, as
all
CRF patients do as their damaged kidneys excrete more protein than they
can
take in. I know she did this once before a few months ago but with
purrs
she came back so I am asking for a few more, please.

Yesterday, because she didn't want to eat by evening, I bought her some
lactose-free milk which she drank. I could only get semi-skimmed, I
wanted
to get full-fat to get some calories into her. but apparently full fat
lactose free milk is not made. Dammit.
She only licked at her breakfast of fish pate this morning which she
normally loves. She spent the day mostly asleep in front of the fire
and
at
one time my heart nearly stopped when I checked on her, I thought she
was
dead - by her position and expression.
She ate maybe a tablespoon of chicken this evening, but hey I have a
pheasant cooking in the oven that my neighbour gave me and she has
always
loved pheasant.

Yeah, I know :-(((((

Of course we will purr for KFC. I know you know she can't go on forever,
however much we all would like her to, but we're purring that she will
continue for just a while more. {{{Tweed}}}

Purrs are on the way for KFC to get her appetite back, and to feel
better, soon(!)

I am holding out on the pheasant just yet as she just ate another two tsps
of chicken.

Purrs for KFC to get past her sick feelings and start eating again.
Or to pass peacefully, if this is her time.

I forget, are you giving her subq fluids? If not, that might help right
now.

And don't hold out on the pheasant! If you think she'll eat it, give
her some! Even if she ate a bit of chicken. Right now is the time to give
her *whatever* you think she'll want to eat.

Purrs,
Joyce

Does she like butter? Maybe she'll lick some off your finger.

Purrs from my gang, Licky leading the chorus

Hugs and purrs-- our very biggest ones for our dear old girl.

Purrs are on the way.

No, we have not reached that yet, although it might be the next step.

Of course I gave her some! How could I not? Little torn up pieces of
still warm roasted pheasant breast which she ate. I didn't give her very
much as it is easy to sicken a CRF patient if you do, from my experience.
The leg portions went into the slow-cooker, I guess she will be having that
tomorrow. Good job I've got three more pheasants to go at, eh?
It's months since I was gifted with a brace of pheasants and now I get two
inside a week just when I need them. Amazing.
