Update Post #23 - Blood Work Results

[Craftlady]

Thumper's appetite has really picked up in last couple days.
Her meals are divided into 4 equal squares (wet/dry mixed together).
On most weeks on a good day we get all 4 squares eaten at a meal.

I divide the wet can into 4 equal parts (4 oz size) I take a section and mix 1 tablespoon of dry mixture which makes 4 equal squares.

In a days times..... She has been eating 3/4 of a 4 oz can and 1/3 cup of dry mixture (looks like flour after I grind it from kibble) for almost 2 months.

Well Today, she doubled her square intake (6 sqs) for breakfast and ( 8sqs) for lunch meals!!!!!!!!! by dinner time she was stuffed from the day and only could eat 3 squares.
Her wet food intake was 1 (4 oz can)
Her dry food intake was 2/3 cups of dry

ALL IN ONE DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will she keep this up?????????????? Stay tuned


Side note:
I have to hand feed her. I help her eat, now today she started llicking it off my bare hand like she was using a bowl. I dont use a syringe just my hand.

What wonderful news.

Took her to local vet's office to weigh her (not her regular vet)............

She weighed 17 lbs May 15th.

She weighed 12.7 lbs June 15th (I was told to feed her more dry because wet food doesnt have enough calories), So I started mixing powdered dry with wet food.

She weighed 9.7 lbs today (July 26th)

I'm trying Nutral Cal (just gave her some, she liked it) a couple times a day. It's high in calories.

I'm feeding her 3 times a day (averages out to every 5-6 hours). Going to 4x a day is just not feasable and have a regular life. As it is now I feed her morning, mid afternoon, mid evening.

It figures her regular vet only works 1/2 days on Thursdays (they used to not be open at all), I decided to take her over to weigh at 4 p.m. LOL
I will call them tomorrow.

Prayers are needed

I hate to hear that, lets hope it is nothing to worry about. Maybe she needs a few more days to start gaining?

[jenluckenbach]

DRAT! Not such good news after all.

The nutrical will help. And maybe the vet will have you use canned a/d or other high calorie prescription food.

Prayers for dear Thumper.

Oh Thumper girl, you need to gain some weight sweetie!! Keep eating like you are and get chubby!! Big hugs and kissies to you!

[Medusa]

Hmmm, my Creamsicle has lost more weight, too, although she's eating normally also. Maybe she and Thumper have joined a weight loss program for cats and didn't tell us. Gotta watch those girlish figures, y'know.

[Craftlady]

Nutri-cal is 30 calories per teaspoon.
I can give 3 tsp per 10 lbs of body weight a day.

Prayers for Thumper! I hope she keeps eating like a little machine and some weight is sure to come back on!

Please, God....remember...
