On the idea & urging of Di and Bob on here I wanted to let all here know, that In Jan. I took my 18yo cat to an all-cat vet group. A followup in Feb. at same vet stil was thought to have revealed a stroke -- as this was thought in Jan. But... I (umm Me --- & JUST --- WHO AM I??) NOT THE VETS...

I've been reading the Bible daily and think his loss is a signal to me to join him sooner than later. Please pray for him and me too that I can make it thru the 1st Christmas ever without my baby, Blackie. :) Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Hi, Our senior girl cat has now begun daily vomiting over past few wks. A vet who saw her said she has early kidney dis. But that was back a month ago as elevated kidney numbers found. She treated our cat w/a laxatone? type substance put on her finger glove & cat came home & for 2 days no vomit...

His CKD withered him away & he passed overnight Saturday into Sunday morning. I'm devastated and really took this long to even get on here. Those of you who know his story, he was FiV and had early CKD as of 2019. FInally trapped him last summer but travel through USA w/ his illness, though...

He is in big trouble. He, over past 6 mos., lost from 10plus to 6lbs now. Been in ER Hosp. 2 wks ago,for 5 days in ICU w/ blood transfusion/IV fluids. Has FiV so can't survive renal t-plant. Really sad & he was acting weird over past few months. :( Now I'm trying to pallitatively care for him at...

Anyone try it? In 2 wks it has lowered Creatinine from 3.6 to 2.6. BUN from 65 to 50. Upped RBCs a bit. Upped WBCs 20%. So seems to work along w/ other kidney supps, capsule & crushed up pills. This all on an FiV positive cat w/ early to mid stage ckd & unknown age as he's a streets rescue.

Hi all, we've been traveling cross USA w/ our 2 cats. The FiV boy cat has had to get Sub-Q'd 3x in 6 months now, as he's got some CKD & dilute urine. He was also found to have a slight murmer & then an arrythmia. This 2nd finding, worries Sub-Q vets, as too much fluid can cause Congestive Heart...

Hi, Our boy was given a SubQ fluids, 2x on our long drive & then was found by 2nd vet to have slight murmer & "funky heart beat" aka arrythmia. Vet limited SubQ then to 100ml only as not to risk congestive heart fail. I got his Interferon Alpha B2 yesterday but called 1st vet (who scripted it a...

Hi All! Spoke to UC Davis Vet school today re our Fiv pos. cat (they 1st discovered Fiv in a cat yrs ago). They advised me getting my old vet that 1st treated/diagnosed him to call UC Davis & get a vet to vet consult on his present FiV from UC Davis's vets in Cali now. :( So Interferon Alpha is...

This is a desperate long shot but I see Fiv & FiP share many things. Both have non-regenerative anemia & WBC counts lowered drastically. If these can be boosted in our FiV cat or other FiV cats this'd be for sure a valiant attempt to treat iV similar symptoms & those tha cause MUCH of the...

Cat 1. has elevated 3.3 creatinine & slight high BUN. Vet thinks early CKD. She's unknown yrs & he thinks older than the 13 we think, upwards of 16 or so. Began Royal Canin kidney diet tonite but what do you all think? She has drank & urinated more over past few months but we did make a huge...

I think I saw that Tripe is ok for kidney cats? But not sure about Grassfed Ground Beef? Anyone know the difference re these & kidney Health?

2 questions: His feral life ended this summer as he was caught & we made him indoor only for his safety. He is anywhere from 5ish-8ish yrs old, no one knows? Now tho he only sleeps alot (w/ a tiny, sometimes, wheeze) & pees/poos/eats ok, & walks a bit then lies down to bed again. I play string...

We drove across country in Uhaul & w/ our 2 cats. The FiV pos. one seemed bad in motel last few wks. So on last Thur. took him to an all-cat vet while driving USA. They bld tested him (1st time since 12/'19). His creatinine is up from 2.4 then to 2.8 now. His SDMA kidney marker test is up too...

He snores lighty as this snore isn't noticeable really but dont wanna gabapentin him to get in carrier-- tax his organs/kidney/liver or should i just watch & wait but unsure if this is anything? I setup a vet check this wk for this Monday coming. But i'd need to Gabapentin him to get to vet...

Ok I got this idea from another cat forum where a person has a girl cat of 11yo that has this inflammation. My 12-13yo girl does same w/ the yowl/cry & vomits maybe once or 2x/wk. I will keep eye on this. Her bloodwork in May was normal. Nothing major going on just aging, said vet. Anyone know...

My former outdoor now indoor doesn't move around as much as the past since 3 months ago. Could this be leg muscle atrpophy from not being outdoors & moving, jumping, etc. much? He seems weak & lethargic. he is Fiv pos. & has a gene SDMA test marker for early CKD. Unknown his age as he was on the...

I know the effects should all wear off I hope, but I had give my cat these in wet food last nite in a 'flooding in the apt emergency' to move him out of the room overnite. He is back now & was in carrier from last nite til morn but now can't walk right yet. He still drags his back legs. Can I do...

I thought I'd ask all here if anyone can clarify this? My vet saw our feral in July & he was neutered part 1 in 12/19, but we thought he need a 2nd teste removed as it was still up in abs, thought the vet. It turns out he only had one teste period from birth, & this is very rare she said in the...

He seems lethargic & sad. He sleeps lot. Unsure, if he slept this much prior to (about 2months almost, ago) when we caught him & flew him across US to his forever family, us. I worry as I've never yet been able to get close enough daily when feeding or spending time in his room w/ him to attempt...
