Well so far she's eating and using the box alright but she's a bit lethargic. She won't leave the spot between the pillows on our bed unless it's time to eat or if she's got to use the box. We wrapped presents for shipping last night and usually if something like that's going on she'll at least come check things out to see what all the ruckus is about--last night, no.
Got her to eat the Royal Canin renal wet food for her Thursday night feeds and three of her four feeds yesterday, but she outright rejected it on her last feed. So I dished her out some mature formula turkey with a generous dab of A/D in it and she wolfed that down. This morning I didn't even bother to try the renal food--just gave her what I figured she'd eat and she did a pretty good job.
Called the vet to ask about the lethargy. Dr. D says she should bounce back after a couple more days of the increased sub-q fluids therapy. Basically we're flushing all the extra toxins out of her body right now and she's likely to feel poorly until most of the toxins are voided. He said as long as she's eating and using the litter box we should be fine. If she starts not eating while on the appetite stimulant pill or if she starts vomiting, then it's time to worry. Good to know. He also said to keep trying to push the renal food on her, even if it's a dab mixed in with her regular food. So it's off to the vet to pick up more supplies (needles for sub-qs and more renal food) this morning.
So we wait and see what happens. Her follow-up is on Christmas Eve at 1000. Will continue to keep y'all posted.
