Hello! I haven't been here in awhile. My 19 year old girl with controlled kidney disease is showing signs of a dental issue. Her vet identified this issue a few years ago but we thought we might be able to control it. We are meeting with her vet next week to see how severe the issue is, but I...

Hello, I'm wanting to make homemade cat food for my cat with kidney disease but she hates everything I make. Today I tried basmanti rice with chicken ground in a blender and added her omega 3 supplement to it. She ate a small amount but didn't seem to dig it. Has anyone else had any luck?

My baby, Ming, was diagnosed with kidney disease almost two years ago. When she was diagnosed they told us she had 6 months to two years to live. I was shaken and almost destroyed ; I'm a girl in my mid thirties without any children and my cat means everything to me. I started to cry and the...

Hello, It's been awhile since I've been here. My baby has been doing very well with her kidney disease. She's 15, just under 8 pounds and is happy. My husband and I were giving her fluids the other night and when the needle went in she she acted strange. She put her head down and just held it...

Hi there, My baby, Ming, has been on Azodyl for about 2 months to treat her kidney disease. I'm terrified that I'm cursing myself for saying all of this, but the results so far have been really good. Her appetite is incredible, she's gaining weight, she is drinking way less water, way fewer...

I took my baby in for a check-up, she has been doing great with the exception of a few 'off' days here and there. The vet found her creatinine has gone up to 3.5. I was devastated. She has had a ton of energy and seemed really happy. The past two days after we brought her home from the vet she...

Hi there, When my cat, Ming, got diagnosed with kidney failure my vet was very little help. She told us my cat had 6 months to 2 years to live and recommended we put her on the Dr. Hills diet (do NOT do this). She also said if we feel so inclined we could start sub q ivs but it was not...

Hi there, I've given my kidney cat epakitin a few times and I always get the same reaction - she acts completely out of it and lethargic. Has anyone else had the same experience? I called epakitin to confirm the serial number (I bought it off Amazon) and they confirmed it is their product. They...

My kitty has kidney failure and I've read about the benefits of phosphate binders. I ordered EPAKITIN online and then read that there might be side effects. Has anyone used EPAKITIN? Did it work for you and your cat?

My cat, Ming, has been diagnosed with kidney disease and had a severe UTI after receiving a IV fluids treatment to lower her creatitine level. I honestly thought my cat was about to die and I came here for advice and comfort. Somehow, through good vet techs and prayers my cat is thriving. She...

I took my 13 year old to a specialist for her 3.6 creatinine level to see if they had any recommendations or techniques to lower it. They suggested fluid therapy and wanted to run some tests to rule out kidney stones, UTI, etc... They wanted her to be hospitalized for two days to administer the...

Hi there - I'm having a total freak out. I took my cat to a specialist, her creatitine level was at 3.6 and they recommended that she stay over night for two days to get IV fluids administered to get the creatitine level down. She had 1 liter administered over 2 days. I just picked her up and...

About three months ago I adopted 2 cats, a 2 year old and a 2 month old. The cats became best of friends and were inseprepable. However, yesterday I got the 2 month old, a male neutered. Brought him home, and now the 2 yearold female is terrified of him. She has been hissing at him and...
