[Felvtalk] Supplements for Grrr
Thanks for all the ideas and advice. I had thought of kitten food but thought it best to steer clear for the reasons mentioned- concern about kidney function- as we are already worried about that. The dang cat eats just FINE- he eats like a horse, and is easily eating twice what the other two are, maybe combined. I'm wary of getting into another bought of testing to determine why he's eating so much and still wasting away- see my previous thread. Very hard to do lots of intensive vet work with this cat. I'm going to try baby food as I think we'll be able to add it to his 'normal' rations without issue. He's still king of the roost- hardly has to look at the other two and they scatter to the wind. I think baby food will be viscous enough for him to nosh in one go with the dry. We have also begun giving him bits of chicken throughout the day- if he didn't think he was special before.. well, now his crown is almost visible.

Yes, hyper-T, didn't think of that, this is what was happening with Fred, he was always asking for food and eating really good but not gaining any weight, he was always acting like he was starving. He also yowled and if I got up he immediately got up to follow me, just in case I was heading to the kitchen and food! -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

PS. Fred was hyper-T and had the radio iodine treatment, he was also CRF we found out when checking for the hyper-T. He had his treatment 3 years ago and is fine, still CRF though. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
