Hi all,
I adopted a 14 year old girl a few months ago. She has been the light of my life. I took her for a dental cleaning and a myriad of tests when she started turning down her Instinct pate. Turns out she has stage I kidney disease and nothing else that we can tell.
The problem is now I have bought so many of the most expensive wet foods and she turns down all of them. of course, she won't eat the kidney prescription diet either. I bought a mortar to grind it up because she always leaves the chunks, and tonight she even refused the mashed up food with a little of the N&D mixed in. The ONLY thing she will eat now is goat milk, which i have been pouring very tiny amounts into the kidney diet. Her behavior is completely different, she does not sit still with me calmly anymore ever, she asks for food 24 hours a day. She is a nervous wreck, constantly watching and waiting for me to get up to go to the kitchen. I just don't understand how all of this could take such a turn in the span of a month.
I am heart broken, frustrated. None of the vets will help me help her eat or give me more answers. I don't know what to do for her. She sits and stares at me and gets up every time I go to the kitchen for food but there's nothing more I can give her. Please help me!
