I read similar, grain-free not being healthy for cats or dogs because of the added filler. They replaced wheat and rice with things like peas and beans which are not good for cats. It is quite hard to find food without this stuff now, especially with dry food. I hope you continue to see...

...behavior with the water. Our boy is doing much better. Our cardiologist has him on Lasix, Plavix, Enoxaparin, Pimobendan and Spironolactone to help with his condition. We moved him onto kidney food 8 months prior to his CHF episode due to some higher values and the leading theory from the...

...The cardiologist confirmed late Thursday that he indeed had an enlarged heart. He's on a combination of Furosemide, Clopidogrel, spironolactone, pimobendan, and enoxaparin to help with his heart and pleural edema. His resting rate seems to be back down to 30 BPM and he's been affectionate...

What I know is the spironolactone is necessary to keep the aldosterone at bay. This hormone is what deplete the potassium, along with other symptoms. So, giving Sophie the spironolactone will help her to keep the hormone level to normal. May I ask you if there's any reason for not giving her...

...and feeling good. I give her the potassium supplement by syringe every day and she does very well with it. She has not gone on the spironolactone yet. I am going to get her tested around every month or two to make sure her potassium level does not go below 3. She has had this for a while but...

...as he goes in it to pee (but hasn’t pooped in it much lately). He also has a heart condition, so is on a lot of meds – furosemide, spironolactone, hydrochlorothiazide (to decrease fluid in chest), pimobendan, clopridogrel (lower stroke risk). However, he pooped on the bed several times...

Thank you so much for these links! I have looked at them and they are very helpful. Thank you!!

...at Blue Pearl who my primary vet referred me to because she has no experience with this disease. She is doing so well on the potassium supplement alone that I am hesitant to put her on spironolactone. But this forum has helped me a lot with the articles and answers that have been given. Thank...

...or referral hospitals in your area? You may not find an endocrinologist, but could probably find an internist. I know that spironolactone is considered standard treatment, but have no experience with it. If this works anything like Cushings, it will require careful monitoring of levels of...

Has anyone had a cat with the above disease also called Conn's disease? The vet specialist is wanting to put my cat, Sophie, on spironolactone and I wanted to see if anyone has had a cat that has taken this drug before. I am giving her Renal-K now to increase her potassium since this disease...

...part of their effectiveness if crushed. Don't know what issue your cat has, from what I read Florinef can be used to counter the effects of Addison's, which is the opposite of what my cat had. She would take Spironolactone, but the dosage was a whole tiny pill that she would get with no...

He told me to give 1/10th tablet of dytor plus 5 mg which contains ( spironolactone 50 mg and Torasemide 5 mg) twice a day. And also told me to give her electral water. I consulted him online. Because right now in India the corona second wave is terrible. I can't take her to the hospital now. I...

...then sudden bursts of wanting to play, eating, roaming the house, watching outside His Dr gave me an rx for hydrochlorothiazide and spironolactone— so second diuretic in addition to his lasix. Gave him his first dose today. When he is laying down looking rough , I feel like euthanasia is the...

...to move, run, jump, eat and use the litter box as usual. This "home-made" therapy was paired with the prescribed one, a pill a day of Spironolactone. When I and the vet saw that Lola's conditions were stable, we contacted a high-end clinic, the only one able to perform such a heavy and...

WOW, great observation about diabetes. I had never thought of it that way and you may be onto something. Kitty's clinical notes I originally shared were from February 25th, 2016. From a Glucose perspective, she seemed on the higher end of normal until the May 25th and June 4th notes (shared...

Wow. 16 though is a great life. I will be honest if Chloe was over age 12 l may have not even considered surgery but she was only 9.5 years old and that is so young for a cat. My other cat died in 2005 of sarcoma. I did notice a lump but l was young and let it go. Months went by and it got...
