After being told that Pumpkin is quite likely going to go blind, I have been on the hunt to find food to fortify her. She is now eating 3 jars of baby food at every meal, but face it – baby food doesn’t have all she needs as an auto-immune kitten. I have found a new canned food at the local feed store. I bought only five cans of it as The Kitty is once again tapped. She LOVES it! She was fighting for her place at the plate to eat it. She has not been willing to eat anything other than AD and Baby food for days now- but I have run out of both at the moment.
The food is Dave’s naturally healthy food Tuna and Salmon in Aspic. I think the smell is as attractive to this kitten as the taste. I just wish I could have bought more than 5 cans of this. I did put it on our wish list a few moments ago (hint hint). *G*
It just warms my heart to find a food that is made for cats that she likes. Usually at feeding time, she either sleeps or just hangs back from the meals being presented. I have to hand feed her and she was losing weight the other day.
The AD is so rich (and expensive) not good for a daily diet. I did check my donation box on the way out- nothing there but my seed money, 🙁
I’ll see what I can do when I get home tonight in the way of a donation.
Food on its way hopefully. Won’t deliver until Nov. 7-13. UGH! Good luck MA with this little warrior!
MA, is the Tuna and Salmon the only Dave’s flavor she likes?
It appears she likes the tuna flavors and salmon. Not keen on the turkey and chicken as much. Just the fact that she is eating on her own makes my heart celebrate. I wrote the company to share her story with them and he wrote back immediately saying he wanted to put her on their FB page. She is a fighter this one- her eyes are less swollen this morning, you can almost see two slits where her eyes are supposed to be. I started using saline to treat her skin yesterday. It is what they put on Mike’s legs when they flare up and so in very small amounts (because I know it is painful as well as healing) I started applying saline to her face neck and chin. I use a cotton ball fairly damp but not saturated. This morning, a whole section of her dead skin on her ears just peeled off. 🙁 There is healthy new skin underneath but boy is it fragile.
