Kerry,
You've been here a while and probably read this before...... but with my
crf cat I gave him tons of wet food. The more you water you can get in
the better. Also, mine loved to play in the water and would therefore
lick it off his paws and drink more that way. I would sometimes leave a
sink dripping and he would sit in it and play with and drink the water.
One of those water fountains for cats helps with that too. I know this
doesn't address weight gain specifically, but if Pookly likes wet food better
that will cause weight gain by eating more, plus be good for the
kidneys.

Julie, thank you so much for your reply---I've felt I'm working in
the dark here as the medical records are so badly handwritten (and brief)
and I have no idea how to decode his test result nos (apart from the dreaded
HCT of course).
They instructed Wellness for him, which I'm pleased about and he def
seems to like it.
I
tried to weigh him on my kitchen scales last night but non possible! I wdn't
be surprised if he only weighed 4 lb.
He's very good re the subQ--I make sure to warm the water
first.
I
SO want to help him--he is so bony and light (but otherwise seems fine--he's
very curious, and, being deaf, is able to blithely ignore the growls of his
new"buddies".
I
keep him safe in my bedroom on his own while I'm at work---I don't trust one
of my other rascals in particular
