I tried it, he liked it but the phosphorus was too high

Yes you're right he can tolerate very small amounts. But I truly did not even consider the smell is just the ingredients. He does eat the original so I'm going to calm down a bit. I will be looking into the website you posted so thank you so much! Allyson and Max I

My boy has significant allergies plus IBD and stage 2 CKD. I've been feeding Orijen as a dry food but it smells a bit rancid for lack of a better description. This is the second bag that I've noticed this pungent sharp odor. I purchased one from Chewy the other Petco. He eats a wet diet of baked...

I am so sorry you have so much going on with your baby. I can't imagine the emotionaltoll but with all your knowledge at least you understand and can advocate without spinning your wheels.. I'm really glad you responded since you have experience dealing with all of my boys' issues. The...

Yes! Great news. But id like your opinions. The neurologist said if he has cns cryptococosis it would not be this subtle. If first signs were early April with only a few days of watery eyes and sneezing (likely allergies)., he would be dead by now. She said we could start zonisamide since he l...

Thank you both! I am praying the neurologist will do the test and they have experience in handling and preparing the sample. I'm glad you gave me some idea of what would be involved. I already do subq 2 or 3xs a week and I only give 100 ml at a time so yes 400 sounds daunting but I will do...

Hi everyone My cat was diagnosed with ckd last year and has been doing well. Beginning in early April he began twitching slightly. Just his face. It's started to get worse. Initially I went to my vet and he suggested ear cleaning. Didn't help. Than was told possible seasonal allergies since he...

Thank you for that! Confirms my thoughts. Finally talked to vet last night and he said sdma levels can vary widely.He said he's seen swings up to 10 points in 3 days high to lower and vica versa. His blood pressure is normal and no protein in urine last 2 blood tests. Vet said to retest in a...

Second test in 2 weeks and SDMA jumped from 18.9 to 22, but creatine dropped from 2.6 to 2.5 and usg stayed at 1.020. Does anyone else have similar SDMA experience?

My thought too! But I'd rather have an idea I suppose but My thought too but sounds reasonable and will help with worry but I might ask if we can wait

Bloodwork and urinalysis came back. Dr wants to treat with antibiotics as Cocci was high. After 1 week will retest blood and urine. SDMA is up to 18.9 from, 16.7, Creatine is up 2.6.from 1.9, Specific gravity is 1.020 which is tad lower, no trace protein this time. So the numbers are...

I agree. He has only ever gone to feline only vet, doesnt eat dry only wet Waiting on results of urinalysis and bloodwork including cbc Chem t4 and something else I'm not remembering. Prayers Yesterday they did the urinalysis and cbc Chem and t4. I'm terrified your story will be my boys...

I have copies of every test. I meant everything else but the trace amounts of protein were all unremarkable. The protein was the only abnormality that the test revealed. Antech ( company that ran the test for vet) indicated trace amounts of protein were indicative of ckd and he should be...

I forgot yes he is peeing a lot more often from 2-3 times a day to 5 -7

Thank you for that info. His last urinalysis in July had trace amounts of protein but otherwise fine. Nothing has changed in diet or lifestyle that I can see that would contribute to such a drastic increase in water. What questions should I be asking the vet?

My boy had bloodwork done in July and SDMA level was 16.7 ( mild) creatine 1.9. At that time he went from drinking about a half cup of water a day for 8 years to 1 1/4 in July. Vet said probably due to hot weather and we'll monitor. In the last week he is drinking upwards of 2 cups a day. We see...

Ive just ordered a sample but cannot find phosphorus etc numbers. Do you have them?

I've gone to the best vet specialty hospital in the area and a specialist at another well respected vet hospital all say same. I wish I could just let it go

No he's the right weight for his size. He's 11 years old. The vet was just at my home and said he seems really healthy but 2 weeks later the fur/ dandruff thing and his continued weight loss bother me. Vet wasn't concerned about it. We've done 3 ultrasounds in 1.5 years. It's been 6 months...
