With the horribly cold and dark days we have had the girls have done little but sleep! Lola has a burst of activity - usually around midnight when she decides its time to play and no-one else is allowed to sleep. She seems fine most of the time but I still worry about her lack of appetite and when she does ea, more often than not she doesn't manage to keep it all down for very long. She does seem to be sensitive to certain foods so and I have been trying to get her off any foods containing cereal and wheat etc but it is surprising how difficult it is to find these; most commercial cat foods in the supermarket are full of cereal as are the expensive Royal Canin food she has been brought up on. I have managed to find a couple of cereal free dry foods on-line from specialist suppliers. I've tried all the cereal free wet foods I can find but she is not impressed, some days she will eat them and others she just takes a sniff and walks away. But I am persevering and she does seem better when I can keep her off her previous diet. I had an email from Dr Addie recently who mentioned that, cats who have had the Feline CoronaVirus, even though they don't go on to develop FIP, can develop problems with their intestines and have difficulty digesting and absorbing food. I am trying not to panic buy after Lola's recent illness I can't help but worry this will be an ongoing problem. When Stuart did the ultrasound he said her intestines were quite abnormal, which is also worrying. I weigh her regularly and she can never get over 3kgs, sometimes less. Despite the fact that she eats so little she is a playful little thing and I just hope we can get her sorted out and put a bit of weight on her.
