The problem with half and half would be that it isn't a source of high-quality protein which is what Gidget needs. Kidney failure eats away at muscle and Gidget needs to add muscle weight, not fat. Have you disscussed this issue with your vet?

Ask your vet if you can try upping her Friskies meat at each meal and continue with as much Science Diet 7 as you can afford. I would hesitate to recommend anything without a vet approval at this point.

Best wishes to you and Gidget!
