Hi. It’s been a while since my last update. Meffy is alright though she’s started becoming grumpy/irritable a few hours after her subQ treatments. I give her treats during the process so she looks forward to it 2 times a week. Since last week I notice she gets really grumpy 3-4 hours after...

Yes I do it with the tenting then poke between. I’m just concern that her skin would be badly scarred with this as time goes by.

I do the scruff test many times to check her hydration levels. Right after the SubQ, it springs back into place. One day later, it still goes back but at a slower rate. It doesn’t stay tented. What size needles are you using for the SubQ treatments? I started with 18G needles given by the vet...

I have managed to "sneak in" some of the phos binder into her food at least one meal a day. Will it be a problem if the other cat eats this too? They don't always finish their food at one go so sometimes my other cat also eats from the same bowl. I feel them together but still in the same...

Sometimes when we are overwhelmed with changes in our lives we feel like we have neglected our cats. From what I’ve read, you’re doing your best for her. Just a few missed playtime doesn’t make your a bad care taker. My cat is 5.5kg and is kinda lazy too. It’s like lifting a bag of rice haha...

Hii She’s doing pretty well. She’s got her energy back and is chasing Meimey around now. Her appetite is also normal but I can‘t seem to get her to drink water. She’s also used to the daily fluid treatment by now and voluntarily with a reluctant face lol. So I don’t have to chase her around the...

This happened to my cats last year. The vet suspected probably an infection or virus in the gastrointestinal tract which would clear by itself. It passed on the the other cat after a week. Vet gave me some eye drops for them. Aside from some eye discharge, they were eating and pooping normally...

I agree with @Caspers Human. Ants keep coming back because there is abundance of food in your house. It could be tiny pieces of cat food, cookie crumbs, kibble. The only way for them to stop coming is to make sure your surfaces and floors don’t have pieces of food. I live in a tropical country...

Update : Meffy is doing great so far. Her appetite is back to normal or it seems like she’s eating more than before. Maybe it’s because I’m feeding her cooked food instead of canned in addition to her usual kibbles. Thankfully she’s not constipated either. The RC renal kibbles should arrive...

When my cats got spayed at 6 months old, they wore a cone too. Their cones had to be tied with a ribbon because it was so big. Yes they knocked over things, walked into walls, tried to jump on the counter/table/washing machine with the cone on until I was curious didn't they feel any pain after...

Yu I just ordered Epatikin. I hope the cats will accept it being in their food. Yes she was at the clinic where the vet gave her too much SubQ fluids (300ml a day!) to the point that she can’t even eat. Now that she’s home all week I’ve been giving the SubQ myself and reduced it to 100ml a...

Thanks. I will check that out.

Is it normal for CKD cats to still drink water even if we are giving SubQ once a day? I keep thinking was it because the SubQ is not enough. Meimey threw up her food last night. She has a habit of eating too fast sometimes and running around immediately after eatinf. After throwing up, she came...

Oh sure. They’re both Calicos so their colours are quite similar except sorry I don’t know how to flip that image here. *hugs* Yeah I know. Little joys is all I need to get through this. It’s so cute that your cats prefer drinking from the dog’s bowl. How many cats and dogs do you have?

Meffy greeted me at the door again today and even wanted to sneak outside. Today I’m so relieved because she finally ate her usual cat food! she must’ve ate some kibble while I’m away too. I’m so happy for her. She’s also grooming her face and feet. This morning she also asked for water. I put...
