Yes and no. Yes and no. He has seen 4 vets in the past year, none have recommended anything except the fluids and Eleura. The constipation began a week ago, and its been a little over 24 hours with the limbs thing. His primary vet is closed today.

I was given sub q fluids to give to my cat because of his Ckd. He was fine for months. In the past 24 hours, he stopped eating or drinking. I have been syringe feeding with a high calorie mixture and giving about 80ml of sub q for the past 2 or 3 days now. Do I need to up the sub q amount...

I wanted to reply back and say thank you and Feebysowner for all the help, advice, and Information you have provided me. I did bring up the dosing again with my vet, and decided on the higher dose , His first check up is on Feb 18, I ready hope he shows improvement. Out of curiosity, how...

Just a typo... I don't want max to fe any... *Feel i don't know how to edit my replies or posts yet, so yeah lol

I took your advice and bought a pack of disposable gloves and will use your method of cutting a finger off to use. My vet and pharmacist never mentioned anything except the pharmacist said just use my finger and put in his ear in the part with no hair, rotate ears. And wash my finger. I...

All of the information you have provided me is amazing, thank you so much for the knowledge. Regarding the vet or the pharmacist, the most they told me was to apply to part of the ear that doesn't have hair and rotate ears. The pharmacist even told me just to use my finger and then wash it off...

I completely agree with you, if my cat can be on a lower dose, I don't understand why the vet didn't start him at the lowest and then move up slowly if needed. I think I will call tomorrow and discuss this, because I did make a huge fit about not having him start at a high dose because of how...

Quickly, my bad. I was looking at both responses at once, which is why I commented on the links/forum given..

Actually, no. The vet nor did the pharmacist talk to me at all about cleaning the ears. This irritates me, because I tried to be so clear with the vet that I am more into holistic treatments than anything and the fact that the vet (or the pharmacist) didn't give me full instructions makes me...

So my vet started my cat with methizamole ear transdermal gel @ 2.5mg twice a day, once on each ear. Do you think that's too high? I made sure my vet knew that I didnt want to put my cat on these meds because of side effects that I have heard of.. and the compounding pharmacy that I picked up...

Yay I am so happy about your cats recovery! 🙂 I'm sure everything will be great when you get the next set of labs done. Thank you for all of your input and help!

I've read that the meds (yes the one you spoke of) has bad side effects because it's a human medication and not a feline medication (vomiting, lethargy, lack of appetite, itching, etc). But I'm glad to hear that the ear gel has less side effects than the pill. My vet is talking about putting max...

Hi again, Sorry I was away for a bit and just seen this. Yes, I would definitely appreciate links to both. I want to learn everything I can and make sure Max gets the best treatment possible. Thank you so much for the information.

Can I ask you what treatment you went with for his hyperthyroidism?

Last year in November 2020 he weighed 14 pounds, he was 12 pounds Nov 2021. The vet said he's at perfect weight. So he's lost 2 pounds, but no, he doesn't seem to be loosing weight..I feared he would because he wasn't eating. I initially took him to the vet because I heard wheezing. As for his...
