He’s had quite a bit, actually. Wednesday, they gave him 200ml initially. Thursday another 200ml. Saturday 150ml and yesterday was 100ml. With all that fluid and the water he’s drinking on his own, I’d expect his urination to be excessive still, but it isn’t.
My Thackery Binx was diagnosed with CKD last Thursday (on his 10th birthday of all days ) and he’s since been on sub-qs, appetite stimulant and a ph binder. Before I took him to the vet and up until yesterday or so, he was drinking a lot and urinating just as much. But since his treatment...
I agree, I went and bought a lot of the sides as well for my Binx, including the BFF. It must be a good brand because the store was almost completely out of all the options!
Forgive me, as I’m new to CKD, but Tanya’s site says to feed neither low, nor high protein foods to a cat with kidney disease. 28-35% and these pouches are 54-66%. Isnt that high, regardless of the low PH? Or is it the lesser of two evils type situation?

The appointment went well, thank you. So much love and support on here, it really really helps a lot, thank you. The vet watched me do it on my own and she said I did everything just fine. I think she could tell I was nervous, but having her there helped big time. Binx didn’t react at all, other...
I decided to give him some fluids for the first time today but it didn’t go so well. I’m really nervous about doing it wrong and hurting him. I put the needle in and he chirped and squirmed the whole time and eventually hissed. I didn’t get much in him at all before I stopped. Maybe I grabbed...
Hi guys,
I just signed up to this website today, as my 10 year old, Binx, was just diagnosed with kidney failure yesterday. Of course I’m devistated, but many of the posts on here have given me hope and a positive attitude to tackle this as best Binx and I can. I was just shown how to administer...
