    17 year old cat starting to go through the end stages of life - what do I expect in the coming hours/days?

    Went thru something similar with my 20 year old girl. She had kidney disease and I was giving her sub q fluids 2-3 x a week at home which made her perk up and she ate like crazy. One morning I got up and she wouldn't eat, hardly opened her eyes and wouldn't lay on me. Rushed her to the vet and...

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    Not sure what was going on but had a bit of a rough night with Luna. She was very agitated and howled several times during the night. She hardly slept - which means I didn't sleep well either- and paced around all day today and kept eating. I did go to Petsmart but couldn't find any freeze dried...

    She used to love her treats but not so much anymore. Where can I get the freeze dried chicken that you used- it is definitely worth a try as I am going thru alot of food trying to get enough into her. Thank you!

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    Just wanted to give an update. Luna has been on CBD for over a week now and so far we only had one restless night. That night, I didn't get as much into her as she must have tasted it in the food and wouldn't eat it. I give her 4 drops in the morning and 5 in the evening- it's CBD made for...

    Thanks for your reply. I know the CBD oil definitely gave us more time with our Oliver after his leg was amputated due to cancer. Luna calmed down after I gave her the CBD yesterday and was good all night. However, this morning I mixed it in her food and as soon as she tasted it, she was done...

    Thank you for the advice. I believe the Reglan is an injection thar the vet gives. I did give her CBD oil yesterday and she finally calmed down and took a nice nap! She paced and howled a little before bedtime buy was good the rest of the night until she looked for breakfast at 5 AM.

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    Just wanted to give an update. Had 2 rough nights with Luna a week and a half ago and my vet suggested gabapentin but it didn't seem to help and made her wobbly the next morning. I started her on Senilife supplements along with her probiotics and we had a great week! A little pacing and crying...

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    I am very familiar with renal disease. My 21 year old cat lived an extra 2 years with me giving her sub q fluids at home 3x a week. My vet said the readings are not abnormal for her age.

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    She did not see a neurologist as I was also coping with a cat with cancer who had to have a leg amputated at the same time. But I have read up on it and know what noises set her off. I spoke to a vet today who is not my usual vet and she is trying her on gabapentin and wants me to start the...

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    I have a call into my vet. Thyroid was on my list but vet said the reading came back perfect, but my cat sure does have all the symptoms. My other old cat had kidney disease and acted like this, but my vet said Luna's readings were just slightly high and no cause for concern. I appreciate your...

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    I appreciate all the replies as I am having breakfast after getting about 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night. I really don't know what to do. She was good when I got home from work- eating not too much pacing or meowing and enjoyed laying and looking out the window. However that all changed around...

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    Thank you for getting back to me. You have certainly given me something to think about. I had a prior cat that developed dementia at 20 years old and also had kidney issues and I was giving her sub q fluids 3x a week at home, but it wasn't to this level. Last year my current cat had a bad day...

    Help with a senior cat with dementia

    I hope someone can give me some advice. Have owned cats all my life and now have one 18 year old who was showing some issues for a bit-sometimes looked lost, meowed alot, etc. I recently had her to the vet 2 weeks ago for a checkup-all bloodwork came back great, including thyroid. She has had...
