cat's in the shop...

*sigh* she's getting old and fragile.  she cracked a tooth 2 weeks ago when trying a different food that ended up too hard for her, and possibly cracked her jaw in the process (well, she is a tiny little 6 pound thing).  so today she's in the vet to get the tooth removed and xrays to see if the jaw is broken or if its just an infection...

whah.

awww. :( i hope she's okay.

what kind of food was it?

a dry food that's meant to be better for old kidneys, but i'm going to put her back on standard old-cat science diet and just keep an eye on things 'cause she didn't like it before it got her, found it too difficult to eat after, and lost even more weight when she was supposed to be putting some back on.

Eukanuba is just tougher than rocks, I swear. It doesn't even crunch the same on the floor when you step on the stray bits...

Don't know how their cat version is, but Sophie improved a great deal (for quite a while) when we put her on that Advanced Protection version of the Science Diet for older dogs.

Don't known what all is different between the regular and that, but she found more energy and her joints let up a lot for almost a year before she started the downhill dive again. Wish I'd started using it sooner.
