Hi, I have a seven year old female, Molly who has been up and down for months with her appetite. I took her to the vet about two months ago and they said she was dehydrated and had a large mass in her abdomen. They said be prepared and she may not make it through the weekend. Well she did and for the most part has been doing fairly well. She has maintained her weight, but now will only eat babyfood and she won't eat all day while I am at work. She was eating kibble up until about two weeks ago. She used to hate babyfood but has acquired a taste for it over the past several months. She also gags sometimes when drinking water? Knowledgeable vets are not around so I thought I would attempt once again to get some input from the lists. She runs and sometimes plays with her ball, but does sleep most of the time. She does not seem to be in any pain and is not lethargic. She is shedding. Last week and today she had diarrhea? How much babyfood should she get daily? She weighs 1lb 6oz. We just had to put our almost 8 yr old Phoebe to sleep less than a month ago and it was horrible. I am not ready for another loss, but something tells me she is not going to get any better than this. Oh yeah she also scratches on the carpet after she eats and I think she does it because she is uncomfortable. Any suggestions? Thanks, Kelly [Posted in FML issue 4288]
