Friskie's vet is leaning towards heart worms or renal failure as the cause of her losing weight and not eating (of course my mom said she fed her some chicken tonight and she ate it). Her vet is going to get the results from the cardiologist tomorrow. The test on her kidneys showed that she is possibly in the very early stage of renal failure. The vet said if they catch it early enough they should be able to treat her with prescription food. My mom's cat that she had before Friskie died of the same thing. She said he lived a good 2 years with it before she decided it was time to let him go. She told me that if Friskie lived another couple of years she would be happy (of course sad too). Hopefully we'll find out more tomorrow when the vet gets her test results.

Kristen, I'll keep Friskie in my thoughts & prayers that she does not have heart worms and that if it is renal failure, that she can be treated and still have a good quality of life for a long time.
