(16,002 posts)She stopped eating the dry cat food. Last winter when she stopped eating, I took her to vet and she had a bad tooth that had to be pulled. Poor kitty
But she recovered fine.
Thinking the cat may have another bad tooth, I took her to vet again, but teeth are ok. Oh, she is drinking a LOT of water. She is old, 16-17 years, and so a complete blood test was done. Some things were high, some were low, some indication that she has beginnings of kidney failure, but the vet was most interested in the low potassium. So the cat is getting potassium supplement gel that I mix with some baby food chicken. And she will eat that mixture. And she will eat some shredded cheese too.
But the really odd thing she does, is that she bites out her fur, in chunks. Very weird.
