Kodak is 18 and customarily weighs about 11 to 12 pounds, but has recently lost weight because of illness or mental issues. I just now weighed her in at 7 lbs.
She was at the vet last week for a skin infection and rceived a sterioid shot and an antibiotic to take daily, but nothing was said about her weight.
She has feline dementia now and spends a lot of time in her crate, which actually holds our Great Dane, but Kodak likes it there, too. It's where she feels safe. She does come into the other parts of the house lately now, though and appears to be more and more social.
I have begun to feed her 9-Lives canned, and she continues to alternate it with Friskies dry at her lesiure. But, I would like for her to gain weight back more quickly and would like advice on how I can accomplish that. She eats and drinks just fine and uses the litter box in the crate often. I have no problem with her now except for her loss of weight.
I welcome and thank you for your advice.
