    Sorry to hear your kitty is going through this :(. Must be very worrying for you.

    Have you tried any dairy products? Like cheddar cheese. cottage cheese, yogurt, scrambled eggs. She may be interested in these and just feed her from your hand, in just small portions - I use these as little treats for my cat.

    Obviously it is not a long term solution but it may just get her interested in food again.

    Have you tried putting a bit of gravy with the biscuits? Make em a bit more tasty and mushy, easier with bad teeth?

    Gravy is far too high in sodium for cats, and especially for those that may be suffering CRF (Chronic Renal Failure).

    Has your vet taken bloods to test for other health issues - e.g. kidneys / thyroid?
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    Thank you for all your suggestions.

    Sadly we never got her eating again, the toxins eventually reached her brain and we had her PTS yesterday.

    We are very upset as we tried so hard, but she just wouldn't eat anything.
