Mimosa has always had a habit of eating fine some days then not eating for a couple of days. When she would do this, we would give her some treats (not much - just enough to have something to keep her stomach from getting upset) and maybe a little milk or some string cheese.
Last week was one of those times, but after a couple days of accepting these things, there was a night where she seemed not to be feeling well and didn't even want her nightly Dentastix (which she always looked forward to getting).
At the vet, I went ahead with getting blood work done and it showed that she's having kidney problems.
Right now, we're giving her a special "renal-support" food and mashing it up with some water to put it directly into her mouth with a syringe until she feels well enough to start eating from her bowl again.
Now that she's getting some food into her, she seems to be feeling somewhat better, but we're going to have to keep an eye on her kidney function to make sure it doesn't become (or isn't already) something severe.
Please keep her and us in your prayers.
