Sounds her kidney infection may not be cleared up. That could be why she isn't eating. They are very painful.

Vets usually just guess the first time antibiotics are prescribed. If an infection doesn't clear up, a culture is usually required to isolate the bacteria causing the infection so they know which medication to prescribe.

Sure, Kati is an "old girl", but that is no reason not to treat an infection. Has Kati had bloodwork recently? That will tell your vet how her kidneys and other organs are functioning.

I sure wouldn't give up on your special old girl yet.
