Has anyone had any experience with this food? Specifically the 5.5 oz cans only available through Vet prescription for cats with CKD?
I have a 17 year old female cat with IBD stable on high quality food and low dose steroid.
Recently, her appetite waned along with morning nausea. I took her to the Vet for bloodwork. Her BUN was 39 and her Creatinine was 2.4 end of January. IM vet saw no need for therapy at that time. Now, end of April her BUN is 59 and her Creatinine is 3.1. IM Vet recommends a "kidney diet" and we have begun fluids 2x a week. I am shocked.
Cat was eating KOHA canned food since February and liked it, especially the Venison, which I stopped due to high phosphorus content. Now I am feeding turkey and chicken till I find something more appropriate with reduced protein and phosphorus levels.
Someone else mentioned Hi-Tor Neo Diet which is not prescription, but lower Protein and Phosphorus that most cats like.
I have to keep her eating and am grateful for any suggestions for palatable options.
Thanks in advance!
