I'm back again frustrated as I've discussed this with my vet.
I have three cats:
Meanwhile, Lucy is eating Purina UR because she has had a bladder stone in the past and that is the only thing she will eat. She will eat a teaspoon of wet about 2-3 days. This has been scheduled feedings because it is primarily corn and I don't want Carly gorging on it.
We've been with the vet office for a long time and it is a cat-only hospital, but the vet we originally starting seeing is not seeing patients any more and the current vet we're seeing is recommending stuff that has corn as the first ingredient.
I feel like I'm failing them because it all seems out of control. I think I'm giving them an eating disorder.
Does anyone have any advice?
I have three cats:
- Much is slowly losing weight, about 1/2 oz per month. She is down to 9lbs 4oz. But her bloodwork is great for a 14 year old cat and she doesn't have any illnesses.
- Carly was underweight when we got her but she is now round. She is still gaining weight and is now 12 lbs 4oz. Here's a picture of her.
- Lucy is still gaining and is now 13lbs 4oz. The vet said he wants to see her stay below 13lbs.
