Hi - I wrote last July about our CKD cat who went from 6 pounds, 7 ounces to 6 pounds while we were wintering in Florida. Slowly she lost another 2 ounces until about 2 weeks ago when our vet put her on Pepcid ac. Since then she has stabilized her weight, seems much perkier, seems to be eating more, is pooping daily instead of every other day and has not vomited at all. She grooms herself very well and has 3 water dishes around the house which she visits regularly.
When first dx'd with CKD, she weighed 5 pounds, 7 ounces, so she has gained overall, but I wish she would go back to her old (6 pounds 7 ounces) weight. She doesn't show any of the signs of "loaf cat", doesn't howl after eating or when using her box.
She was brought up on dry food and but I have switched her from K/D to Fancy Feast dry which she loves. I mix water in with her wet, or baby food, but she's never been much of a wet catfood eater. I have tried everything from babyfood cat to cat milk and flakes on her food. When I compare her pictures to cat weight pictures, she does not seem emaciated, but a little underweight.
So am I overstressing? Could it be that 5 pounds, 14 ounces is the new normal for her?
Thank you.
