I will say the only thing giving me solace is that she still eats all her food. I've been having to bring it to her. But I have done that before. She gets impatient waiting for us to put all her powders and medicines in, she walks away lol. And then I have to go find her and she eats it all up...

50 was too much for her and it took days to wear off. She couldn’t walk. She’s so sensitive to anything we give her. Her back legs keep giving out. Her kidneys were stable when we did her senior panel (which is why we realized her anemia had gotten worse). I’m just really sad and feel depleted...

Thank you all so much for all your kind words and encouragement and experiences. I appreciate it and it cheered me up a little. She gets Dasuquin for her joints A probiotic every once in awhile Protein Binder for the kidneys On a renal wet food diet Has Gabapentin for pain although she...

My 12 year old cat has ckd and a number of other issues that all seemed to have gotten worse in the last two months starting with a bad constipation episode that lead to two enemas. We managed to get that under control but now she’s anemic, so we started treatment on that. Her arthritis has...

I worry about a further underlying cause but I don’t want my mind going there. I also wouldn’t know what we would have to look for. I think between her anxiety, anal gland history, anemia, kidney disease, history of crystals, and bad arthritis and back (she has slipped disks etc) - there are so...

I just wish I knew how long this is going to go on for. I feel like I thought she was feeling better but now she isn’t. I feel like she’s aged 25 years in a week. How long do constipation episodes last. Or how long do people’s cats get over enemas and traumatic experiences. I’m so sad. I haven’t...

Thank you for the response. There was definitely improvement today but still no poop. I pick up the Cisapride tomorrow. I spoke to her vet and she said to be patient it’ll happen. We are giving it until tomorrow. She is eating! So I’m grateful for that. I think I am stressing her out because I...

Just to add - she has been constipated before. This isn’t new. Just the severity. She’s never needed an enema. She is also on lots of supplements. Probiotics, dasuquin, protein binder, meloxidyl (which we haven’t started yet but I have).

My 12-year-old girl, Sassy, has had health issues ever since we rescued her when she was five. From UTIs, crystals, tooth-extractions (pre-when she lived with us), anal gland issues, pancreatitis flare-up, anemia, the beginnings of kidney disease, arthritis, antibiotic resistant E-COLI for a...

Thank you both so much. I’m trying to remain calm. And she’s currently laying on top of me which she does whenever I am upset or cry. She’s my support and my entire world. I know she’s getting older so I am coming to terms with the fact she is just going to be sick sometimes. But she’s not...

I went for a routine check-up with my senior cat (going to be 12 on March 30th) because she has the beginning of kidney disease and we've been dealing with that for around two years. She is also a very anxious cat and often has other health problems that pop-up and we manage. Her vet noticed a...

I agree and question whether we need to actually do things for our pets or give them this medicine and that medicine, but it's the only food she's ever known and we've never had a problem. So I'm sticking with it. Her current vet didn't prescribe it, it's just what the ASPCA told us she gets fed...

Yes definitely, which is why I felt so uneasy about it and decided to just abandon her taking it all together. I hate trying to guess how much is too much or if it's too little. We are doing much better on what we're on now :)

Thanks for the reply! I’m feeling a little better and she seems ok right now. Which is good. She has been on the Royal Canin Urinary S/O prescription diet since we adopted her when she was 5. She’s 9 now. Which is why I don’t want her to get turned off from it completely because it’s a...

So my cat has an e.coli infection but is acting perfectly fine. The vet just wants to make sure all infections are out of her system. We gave her the Veraflox tonight for the first time and she immediately started foaming and drooling. Badly. Like mucus just hanging from her mouth. Her vet said...

We’re switching her to Veraflox and stopping the Baytril. I did a quick search and it seems like I may be able to sleep a little easier with this one. Not to mention it’ll be easier to give her. I think no matter what, any medicine is going to have side effects but I’d rather not risk her...

I meant I’m not giving her the whole pill. I lessened it. Because I was nervous.

I just emailed her. Waiting for a response. I took it upon myself to now give her the entire pill. It’s the 22.7mg version. I’m freaking out though. It’s the second day and so far so good. But I’m so scared. I thought I was doing her a favor by refusing the shot that also had terrifying side...

Just to clarify, she only eats wet food. The minute they told me about the beginning of Kidney Dysfunction, I switched to an all wet diet because I didn't want it to escalate.

Hi, sorry this is a long post: So I've never posted on her but I'm nervous about my decision regarding a treatment plan for my cat and I guess I'm just searching for reassurance from other cat parents. My 9-year-old female, long-haired Somali mix has had a litany of issues since rescuing her...
