Hmmmmm... Might have to try that.
Orchid was dying. Granted, she is 16 years old but 1/2 siamese. Three trips to the vet, no joy. Gave her Pen' injections as needed but she still ended up a snotty nose fur covered skeleton. :-( This started about a year ago.
We generally feed Purina dry food and Friskies canned since they like it. Most of the cats are healthy, a couple are fat.
Orchid has a pbuttion for Tuna, so I started offering her 9 lives "tuna select". A dark tuna with egg bits, and protected her from the other cats when she ate so she could eat all she wanted.
Over the past couple of months, she has improved and is actually putting on weight! :-) She is now strong enough again to jump up into her "protected" feeding area, and is getting the strength to meow again. She was so weak, she had lost her voice.
Even her backbone is nearly covered again. Her mother lived to be nearly 19 so maybe she will make it to that age now. Her sister, Athena, does not even look geriatric and is still going strong.
Appears that 9 lives canned is far superior to Friskies. We will probably be switching the entire gang over to it now.
If I tell this story to 9 lives, think they will send me coupons???? ;-) -- Om.
