    Deaf cat is extremely distressed over loss over other cat

    Update on this: Started my cat on Cartrophen as Solensia is not available for cats in my country and the vet thought Cartrophen would be effective. He was weighed on the 30th August and was 4.65 kilos. On the 22nd September he has gone down to 4.3kg. He stopped eating when I went for a weeks...

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    Yes he was the big orange cat with a stub of a tail. I loved him very much. Thank you very much for offering condolences. He did by and large pass away on his own terms.

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    Thanks very much for your the advice and help. My cat died at home this evening at 4.30pm. I had someone who is very good with animals go in to see how he was to put him into the carrier and he asked me to leave the room as I distressed. He died during that time so I was not present when it...

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    yeh - trying that at the moment but the list of stuff he won't eat anymore ...well today he ate a slice of ham and a half a packet of sheba. He used to like rotisserie chicken a lot - now he won't eat that; won't eat fish either; won't even drink a full bowl of milk

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    Thanks silentmeowlook, All sedation apparently is an issue in cats with renal falure as far as I can see. No vets will make house calls i'm afraid nowadays - rang all of them - it's not done for small animals.

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    Hi FeebysOwner, I asked about sub-q fluids but because he was feral I was told which is probably true that he would rip the tube out. Knowing the cat I think he would do that. I didn't do anything specific in late May -- unfortunately i've been onto the vet nurse - as you say it is not...

    Kidney Failure - Readings from Bloods help

    Thanks very much for this Kflowers - I think they do try to place them in homes and do a huge amount of good work as in feeding the existing ferals - just totally unhelpful to me when I asked for help from them.
