Hello - Would like some input from the CRF group. Took my Jengo in for blood-work on April 12th... only 8 weeks from previous blood-work because he was getting weaker. Unfortunately 3 test results were high: Bun = 70.8 Creatinine = 3.7 and Phosphorus = 8.1 putting him in Stage 3 now...

After doing lots of research I've come to the conclusion that my 17 yr old Jengo, who has CKD, has arthritis. I would like to get him on some medication to help relieve the pain but I'm finding negative reviews on the two most common drugs. Would like some input from those of you who have used...

Yesterday we got the results back on a Feline Senior Wellness Profile with Cardiopet proBNP test for my Jengo. He has CKD and IBD and was diagnosed with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy now. I am devastated. I had been complaining to two different vets for months about his weakness and wobbliness...

My 17 yr old Jengo's rear legs have been getting weaker... he can't jump very high any more and wobbles when he walks. My vet said it could be low potassium but on Jan 25th his potassium was fine. Another suggestion was arthritis but don't think it comes on this quickly. He also said...

Would like to know if someone else has had this experience. My old vet put my Jengo on Prednisolone for IBD and he's been on it for about 2 years. I've read and heard from group members that long term Prednisolone use isn't good so I went to another vet for a 2nd opinion. She said that we need...

Hello - My 16 yr old Bengal has been diagnosed with IBD and also kidney disease. He vomited clear foam a couple of times a week... sometimes more. The vet prescribed 1/2 Cerenia pill for when he vomits. He's very difficult to pill and often gags and foams at the mouth after giving him a pill...

Hello again, Due to my health issues I haven't posted since January. I'm still looking for advice from those of you who have dealt with kidney disease and hoping for ideas to slow the progression. Members have suggested reading Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease, but...

My 15 yr old Bengal was diagnosed with IBD although that diagnosis may not be accurate since I didn't want to put him thru the biopsy procedure at this age. He has had regular blood tests, a special blood tests, x-rays, etc. The vet suggested B12 injections since it was low... other results...
