    19 year old cat with dental extraction

    Hello! I haven't been here in awhile. My 19 year old girl with controlled kidney disease is showing signs of a dental issue. Her vet identified this issue a few years ago but we thought we might be able to control it. We are meeting with her vet next week to see how severe the issue is, but I...

    Help Please

    Definitely not serious but could become serious. I would just go to the vet and she'll be fine.

    When to make the decision about putting the cat down

    Hello, I'm so sorry you're going through this - I'm sure it's painful and stressful. My advice is no, you're cat is not ready. Quality of life may be diminishing but that does not mean it's time to put him down. CBD is an excellent option. Also, we've put my senior girl on supplements when she...

    Homemade cat food for renal failure

    Hello, I'm wanting to make homemade cat food for my cat with kidney disease but she hates everything I make. Today I tried basmanti rice with chicken ground in a blender and added her omega 3 supplement to it. She ate a small amount but didn't seem to dig it. Has anyone else had any luck?

    Kidney Disease - What's working for us

    My baby, Ming, was diagnosed with kidney disease almost two years ago. When she was diagnosed they told us she had 6 months to two years to live. I was shaken and almost destroyed ; I'm a girl in my mid thirties without any children and my cat means everything to me. I started to cry and the...

    Back leg issue with 15 year old cat

    Hello, It's been awhile since I've been here. My baby has been doing very well with her kidney disease. She's 15, just under 8 pounds and is happy. My husband and I were giving her fluids the other night and when the needle went in she she acted strange. She put her head down and just held it...

    My Cats Won't Get Along For The Life Of Them!

    I have to be frank - they might never get along and it might not ever be worth the stress. I had a similar situation in my house and we had to give my male cat to my mother in-law. I was one of the best things I've done - instantly I was calm and I knew he was okay. Cats fighting 24/7 can be...

    Cats On Azodyl?

    Hi there, My baby, Ming, has been on Azodyl for about 2 months to treat her kidney disease. I'm terrified that I'm cursing myself for saying all of this, but the results so far have been really good. Her appetite is incredible, she's gaining weight, she is drinking way less water, way fewer...

    Dealing With Kidney Failure - What's Working For Us

    All my cat will eat is BFF. At first she loved the kidney prescription food since it was new but then instantly hated it after 2 days. At least with BFF the protein is reasonably low and the phosphate is low. I've taken a gamble on Azodyl and am hoping it's working.
