I am hoping the steroids really kick start her apetite, she is only picking at food, and I've try every type I can think of- chunks, pate, meaty, tuna, turkey, salmon, chicken.

Feeling very worried about Tabatha. I blended some petite pate with cat milk to try and encourage her to eat today. Was feeling really chuffed that she took a lot, this was at about 11 this morning. She's just thrown it all up and had a touch of diarrhoea. She's hadly eaten since Tuesday, she got her steriod and vitbee injection on Wednesday.
I don't know what to do any more, the vet who saw her most recently was saying he wanted to check her blood pressure after 2 weeks on the benzacare and then deal with any blood pressure issues. At this rate I'm not convinced she'll see 2 weeks. I have to get her to eat but I don't know how!

I am very sorry farthing. If anyone could get Tabatha to eat, you could. I wonder whether the time is fast approaching when it would be kinder to let her go? You are such an intuitive person I am sure you will know if she has any chance of seeing this through.

You feel so helpless when they just won't eat ...

fingers crossed, farthing.

Well, after trying every different combination of food undr the sun, Tabatha has eaten white fish with cat milk added today. I just hope she keeps it down, she really should be on renal food, but its more important she eats and if she continues to eat it I can add ipakitine to it. I've spoken to the vet so they know the situation and are aware there may be a call out over the weekend if she deteriorates.

Fingers still crossed.........

Hope that fish and milk has stayed down. Fingers crossed here too.

Thanks.
The fish and milk have stayed down but she hasn't eating anything since the late afternoon. She's asleep by my side as I type. I have to admit I've shed quite a few tears over the last few days, I have a feeling things are going to be a struggle for her. I don't know if her kidneys are the problem, at the back of my mind there is the worry of FIP- with her being FIV and the symptoms she is showing as well as the blood results. It is so hard to diagnose and of course I could just be paranoid, I hope it is something we can fix, but she has had steriods, antibiotics, vitamins and treatment for her kidneys. I was decided that if she didn't eat todat she was going in to be dripped, but at the same time I don't want her in the vet alone overnight. Thankfully she did eat but if she doesn't eat tomorrow I'm not sure what to do next.
