	My mommy noticed that I was drinking a lot of water and peeing a lot more than usual a few months ago so she took me to the Vet for my senior blood screen. The test numbers weren't too terrible so the Vet's instructions were just to watch me for a few months and give me 5mgs of Pepsid once a day because I throw up sometimes. Mommy is worried about me becoming dehydrated and constipated and I also don't eat enough so she makes me a pumpkin shake and syringes into my mouth twice a day. I don't mind the taste because she mixes 1 tsp of pumpkin,1tsp of baby food(all meat flavors) 1 tsp of Cat-Cal or Nutri-Cal for Cats and then dilutes it with a little lactose free milk. Mommy then stirs it all up into a orange shake-sucks it up into either two 10 ml syringes or four 5 ml syringes and feeds it to me. Yummy!!! I feel better now, have gained some weight and have more energy. I don't seem to need as much water as before and I am peeing much less too. I hardly throw up anymore either. Mommy is very pleased with me and wonders if her pumpkin recipe might help someone else.
