This is my baby, my daughter, my sweet floof. She was the light of my life, my soul mate. I will miss her forever.

We made the decision to let Lita go this week. It's even harder than I imagined, I didn't know it was possible to cry so much. I don't think I'll ever be ok. :'(

Thank you all so much for your replies. I've been away for a bit and missed the last few until now. We are definitely in the throws of trying to decide when is the time to let her go. I posted in the crossing the bridge section to gain some more opinions. Again thank you so much all for your...

Hey folks. I've posted on here a couple times before regarding my kitty's health but in the last couple weeks it's become clear that there's not much else we can do and I will just be watching my baby waste away. The quick rundown is Lita is a 16 yo CKD/IBD kitty. She's been treated for CKD...

I went back and re-read your other post, it really does sound like the same situation! I tried some of the foods you mentioned last week, to no avail. How long did Brooksie hang on after the assumed IBD/cancer diagnosis? As of this week Lita isn't even really drinking really...she just hides...

Got a second opinion and new bloodwork/urinalysis with new vet. Her teeth are fine and she doesn't have a UTI. Her kidney failure hasn't even progressed much. Apparently it's her IBD and possibly cancer, as the vet could feel some kind of mass in/near her colon. The next step is to takes X-rays...

Yes I believe so. I didn't notice at first because I think she was using the same spot several times, but her other litter box has small clods in it which is not normal for her since she's a CRF kitty. Just got back to the vet with an antibiotic. They were unable to get a urine sample from her...

So I'm really starting to think the issue may be IBD as well. I'm home from work today and she is constantly going back and forth from the litterbox and straining. When she was doing this the other day I gave her lactulose to help her pass but it didn't seem to do anything. I called the vet...

Thank you so much guys!! Just got back from the vet with more cerenia for her nausea. But when I came home I saw she had nibbled on some dry food! (I opened a new bag this morning so that's probably why). Thus, I really don't think the issue is her teeth. Also I checked with the vet and a full...

Thank you so much for the kind words.... It means a lot as I spend a lot of time besting myself up and worrying what I could be doing better. She'll be 16 in two weeks and I know she's had a good long life, but I just wasn't quite ready to lose her yet :(

Oh and feeding tube is definitely not an option...

She's on the highest dose of Mirtazapine (1/4). I've tried baby and kitten food, was considering maybe trying KMR though. She saw the vet recently and she wasn't concerned about her teeth. Last time I asked they said they didn't feel comfortable putting her under to clean them anyway though...

Alright guys I'm desperate here. My senior CRF kitty has essentially stopped eating the last few weeks, even though her blood levels aren't even late stage yet and she seems to be doing OK otherwise. She just doesn't eat. She's been on both appetite stimulants (currently sticking with...

Any idea how long withdrawal symptoms would last? I'm so sick of these vets who give out medications with almost no instructions. This is a vet have really liked in the past but this last time I saw her she just seemed to rush through our appointment, it's almost like because she's so old she...

The vet did not tell me to do this... It's a bit late now. She's been on cyproheptadine for about two weeks now.

Meant to share a picture as well!

Hey hall, my old gal Lita (aka the floof) has kidney failure and IBS. She struggles from appetite problems of course and for the past several years we've had her on Mirtazapine. It was working relatively well and she had few negative side effects, but she still wasn't eating anywhere near...
