Hi everyone,

Thank you for your concerns for Melody.

This morning I called and talked to the Vet and she told me that Melody can start on her meds right away and that it will buy us some time until we are able to get surgery.

So I went to the vet and weighed her and can you believe it she is 2.6 lbs! Last time i weighed her about a month ago she was just 2 lbs.

I have been feeding her Natural Balance Orginal Ultra which is reduced calorie formula which is 16.5% Crude Protein. So I asked the vet about a better food for her and I got Royal Canin Renal LP which is Crude Protein 11.4% and it has High Energy. As soon as I got home I mixed some of her old food with the new food and she ate. She picked out the new stuff and ate all of it in her bowl and left the old stuff. I am so excited to see how this food does.

I gave her meds, she got Amoxil Amoxicillin Pediatric Drops. I give to her twice daily. She also got Lactulose Liquid given twice daily.

I just can not believe how generous Kathleen is. I adore her and I can not thank her enough for all the help she has given me. Thank you so much Kathleen!!

Also thank you all for the great information and concerns. I will keep you all updated!
