UPDATE: KFC
Christina Websell wrote: It's the same, I think; it has Waltham on the pouch as well as Royal Canin. Waltham is another trade name used by the giant pet food company Pedigree, makers of Whiskas, etc. They have their factory in Melton Mowbray, about 12 miles from where I live, and a research establishment a few miles from that near the small village of Waltham-on-the-Wolds, I guess that's where the name came from. TED told me Royal Canin bought Waltham about 1 year or 2 ago. Rusty was eating Waltham's ph S/O for urinary blockage. They might have tinkered with the formula too as Rusty started having tummy problem about the ame time. He was on Waltham's S/O for a long time with no problem until he got R.C. Finally we swtiched to Hill's I/D before his tummy settled down. Winnie F&N used to hoover it up. Maybe Kitty was still a bit too unsettled to eat at first. After she had used her litterbox and had a rest on the spare bed for an hour I put the dish under her nose "dinner in bed, madam..?" She scarfed it down. I always know when she particularly likes her meal because she purrs while she's eating it, and she purred. Boyfie came upstairs to enquire why the special treatment and what was she eating? He got firmly bopped :-) Anyways, purrs for Kitty to have many more good years with you, Thank you. and purrs to you for the pillings. I don't envy you! I'm rather dreading it. It will not be easy. If it proves impossible TED says she can have injections instead which would mean taking her back to the surgery every other day. I want to avoid that if I can, so I will try very hard to get those tablets inside her myself. Tweed |

Here's hoping her treatment works and she has a long time left with you. Would you believe our Speckles is still living? She was "supposed" to have gone to RB by now but nobody told *her* that. Despite a couple of setbacks, she's still hanging in there. Vet told us yesterday there's nothing left but palliative care and has strongly recommended euthanasia. But when I see her each morning perky, with a good appetite, still active, and bright-eyed, it just doesn't seem time. Here's hoping KFC is just as tough and holds on for a good long while.

Her white cells were a bit raised so she has antibiotics for a week. I'm not looking forward to pilling her twice a day, that's for sure! TED has put her on a renal diet, I hope she eats it. I shut her in the bathroom with a dish of it and she's only eaten a bit although she has not been fed today as she had to have a fasting blood test. It looks really nice food, Royal Canin Renal in pouches, little pieces in gravy, smelled good enough to eat :-) She has twelve pouches to try, if she won't eat it I can take it back for a refund and try another flavour. If she won't eat the renal diet at all, TED says he would rather have her eat what she wants than go without food on hunger strike. She is still allowed to eat collared doves, which I am sure will be a great relief to her. Tweed Purrs for little KFC. May she be happy and well for a long time. |

UPDATE: KFC
I'm back from holidays today to read about KFC. I'm glad that you've got a
diagnosis and that she likes her food okay. I wish you the best of luck with all the pilling - I know how hard that is. Purrs on the way for KFC to take the pills and continue to feel better.

We are sending lots of purrs and best wishes that the special food and the pills help Kitty feel much better and that you will have lots of quality time together, Polonca and Soncek Thank you, Polonca. She seems very well today. Tweed |

"Karen" wrote in message ... Well, she IS 20 or so, so she is actually doing very well. If you can keep her comfy that is the big thing. I bet the antibiotics will help a little at least. Did the vet say if you can crush them into food at all? I am crushing them between two teaspoons into powder and putting them into a tbsp of the renal food as Winnie suggested and it's working great. She likes the renal food so much that she scarfs down that tbsp with the antibiotics in and asks for more. Thank you, Winnie. I might have sprinkled the antibiotic over the whole dish of food if you hadn't told me this great idea. Tweed |

Neither of you need the added stress of her not behaving right now. Sam is taking his pills nicely. He sends her feel better purrs. He seems to feel better already too, but I may just be hoping he does. He is much younger than KFC but has been living on borrowed time so we are happy with what we can get. Jo |
