    Slippery elm capsule dosage?

    Thanks! I’m going to try it in food first. Sigh. She will take gabapentin and dasaquin. So maybe I will have luck.

    Slippery elm capsule dosage?

    Per Tanya’s feline crf site. If I’m readying this correctly, one capsule will be ok to give? I’ve got a vet apt Monday, but I just wanted to see what dosage others give in the capsules?

    Is there anyone else having trouble affording the prescription diets for kidney disease?

    Oh ok. That makes sense. My girl is a calico. She’s always been on the small side, but she definitely needs to gain some back. I think the others are right. Don’t waste any money on food he won’t eat. Just get him to eat. Hugs.

    Is there anyone else having trouble affording the prescription diets for kidney disease?

    Oh wow! Mine is 7 lbs. she usually only eats a can a day and a tiny bit of dry K/d. How big is yours? Mine probably needs to eat more as she’s been losing some, but she’s never been a big eater even before she was diagnosed.

    18 yr old stage 2 ckd with high bp having weight loss

    She’s been on telmisartan for 3 1/2 weeks. Her BP was still high at the vet last week. She thinks that’s what’s causing the weight loss. She’s having me weigh her every other day for a few weeks. She’s been pretty steady staying between 7.12 and 7.14 for the last 2 weeks, but today she was 7.10...
