My Tucson is a big cat but still a bit on the heavy side but you know, if she doesn't feel well, she instantly stops eating... Not only does it give me a signal something's wrong but that extra weight gives us a bit of time to figure out what's going on. Of course, she's a bit of a fusspot and what's going on could be she has an upset tummy, has hairballs, is annoyed at something or other--But she's had a couple of episodes where her white blood count really went down low and she wouldn't eat much of anything for a few days; again having that extra weight helped get her through it.

Been trying to chime in but having trouble keeping up with the fast pace lately, you are all very chatty :) Anyway, Laura, my FeLV + kitty is doing wonderfully. She had several days of loose stool, a few weeks back and I think it was from the vetri-science treats that I was giving her, they had lysine (she has herpes) and DMG in them. Once I stopped them, she firmed back up again. She's gained quite a bit of weight, my neighbor/pet sitter (who visits Laura daily) thinks it might be a bit too much. But honestly I think having a little bit of extra insulalation is good for her, gives her more of a "buffer" if she should become sick. What do you all think? She's not fat, but she is very solid and borderline a little chunky. She looks great, all of her fur has grown back (she had alot of bald patches when I got her) and her coat is shiny and dense. She eats a full can and 1/2 of wellness per day (5.5 oz can) plus I free feed dry wellness for her. Since I currently have a very sick 14 year old, who won't eat, I'm just thrilled that Laura's appetite is so healthy, maybe it's too much, but again, I think she needs a little extra meat on her on bones. Thanks in advance for any comments, Laura _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
