I have an update I hate to write. I had my cat in my primary vet finally today. (Yes, they finally got back to me yesterday and I was able to get fit in today). They did a physical exam and he did not look good according to them. They suggested some further diagnostics if I was comfortable and...

@Xena44 thank you for pointing that out. I have a call in to the emergency vet to see what they say. Also still waiting on a call back from my primary vet to discuss things in general. When I look up feline diabetes (which I did Bc of the glucose)...he basically checks all the symptom boxes. But...

So the ER vet got back to me and his urinalysis results came back “fine” and showed negative for bacteria. I attached what they sent me. He mentioned it may be a kidney infection. Would that not show up on the urinalysis or blood work? He kind of rushed me off the phone so I didn’t get to ask as...

He spent several hours straining and trying to go last night. Just walking around in the weird hunched position. His poor 17 y/o, 4 lb legs looks so sad and he kept toppling over. I fed him some pure canned pumpkin I had mixed with his wet food and sprinkled with Metamucil. I had been giving him...

I’ve actually been up with him for the past hour or so in the middle of the night. He’s very uncomfortable and can’t poop. He’s straining in the litter pan and just walking around all over. The vet didn’t warn me in how to help the constipation/straining. Just made it seem like it would be...

So I ended up taking my cat to the emergency vet yesterday morning. He was very lethargic, still straining to poop, and peeing around the house. The vet said he believed he had an infection and he was very dehydrated (causing the constipation and straining to poop). They ran blood tests and a...

@Xena44 No, Rawz is not a raw diet. As others mentioned it is advertised as “the next best thing”. The vet prescribed 50mL because he has a heart murmur (add it to his list 🙄). He is not currently on Pred now...the vet wants to start another stronger round. And the pee has no pink from what I...

Hi- I recently posted for the first time over in the Cat Nutrition forum. I have a senior cat (almost 17 y/o) with some health issues. He was diagnosed with CKD about 5 years ago. We’ve checked his values yearly every since (most recently in April 2021) and they’ve stayed only slightly elevated...

@daftcat75 Thank you so much. That is all really so helpful. I've been feeling just at a loss and not like my vet is providing real helpful information anymore and just doing this to check things off the list to appease me but really just chalking it all up to "he's 17 y/o and going to have...

I have a 17 year old beloved cat. Several years ago he was diagnosed with early CKD...but his numbers were only slightly elevated and have only slightly worsened over the years. Around September ‘20 I notice he started losing weight. Since then he has been in and out of the vet (which he hates)...
