Do cats affected by “bad” pet food need medication?
By crittercare in General Pet Care on November 6th, 2009
Several months ago my cat was very ill. She’s an indoor cat and I work 12 hr. shifts.
The first thing her DR. did was change her diet from wet and dry food to strictly dry. After exams and tests he found kidney and other problems, she could’ve been tested for diabetes, but then what? daily shots?. I declined further testing because he believed her age was the real problem and I agreed.
She’s 16 yrs. old!.
As long as she wasn’t uncomfortable or in any pain I just wanted to bring her home.
I recently moved in with someone so she isn’t alone so much and has more space (and windows) to explore.
I now realize she had all the symptoms associated with the now infamous “bad” pet food.
The obvious symptoms are just about gone now. She’s eating more,gaining weight (her bones were showing), I give her turkey, raw egg, milk, cheese, etc. in small amounts.
If it was the food, does she need medication or is she recovering OK on her own?
