I don't know what thread I read this on, but I ordered this - because my hands just can't do the empty gel caps, and giving Cerenia is a battle. But THIS.....THIS....it's fabulous! I doubt I can use it for the Denamarin - since it's supposed to be on an empty stomach. I first rolled a little...

I am allergic to Siamese cats and only Siamese cats (or Siamese mixes) - with all the same symptoms you listed as well as my eyes swelling shut. Their dander is different somehow. I hope you are able to figure it out with your new baby so that you're able to keep her!

Just now getting to look over the link - wow - this is a FABULOUS resource - THANK YOU!!!

My apologies, I probably should have waited until this morning to respond - as I am up at 3:15 each morning for work, and I was on the last drops of gas in my brain when I replied last night. I absolutely will be researching Weruva, and I appreciate that you've had a cat with a similar medical...

I am working from home 4 days a week. Tuesdays are my office days - until 1 pm, then an hour drive home. I plan to give her Denamarin before I head in to the office, then my boyfriend gets up about an hour after that and I told him I'm leaving a can out for him to open and feed her as much as...

There are several petstores near me that carry Weruva - but after spending almost $80 at Petsmart yesterday, I skipped that stop, but will definitely make that a stop this week. I also saw Tiny Tiger mentioned on here somewhere - and I see that's a Chewy brand - but you have to buy a case to see...

Thank you so much for the link. She is devouring anything that's beef or poultry in gravy, no fish since that's higher in phosphorus. She's loving Purina Pro Plan beef and Fancy Feast gravies. He's not worried about phosphorus, other than not feeding any fish, but she's not a fan of fish, so...

So - vet called today and asked "how's my cat doing?". I told him that she says thank you very much for opening up her food options - she's happily consuming 3+ small cans of food each day vs 1 and a half of the renal canned. He said he wants me to not worry about the kidneys at the moment...

Thank you! I spent so much yesterday gathering a variety of foods for her to try. Purina ProPlan Beef and Carrots was a HUGE hit - she annihilated that can - I've sussed out that pates are not her jam - give her shreds or "porridge" texture with gravy. I am so thrilled that phos binders will...

Hahaha on the "I hate to do this to you" comment! No - I haven't - but I will. I asked about the Azodyl because I remembered that back when Sammy had CRF (as it was referred to back then vs CKD now), that I also joined a FB group - which I "think" was affiliated with Tanya, or may have been...

I'll ask him about it when we talk tomorrow (the phos binder you told me about). On a different note, what do you know about or feel about Azodyl for CKD kitties? Any other supplements that can help support her? BTW - he was thrilled that she had gained weight from her previous visit, he...

Thank you! So much to worry over with both kidney and liver involved.

Her last creatinine was 2.2 and the lab's "normal" range is 0.9 to 2.3 mg/dL. She's gone from 2.9 to 2.3 and now 2.2. Yes, I am familiar with the felinecrf website, I had a six year old kidney cat 8 years ago - he was a semi feral that I adopted, and the vet suspected he may have had some...

My vet wants Lexi to EAT at this point, and she's been doing well on the renal food, but she's starting to get bored (and I'm rotating between 5 versions - all 3 Royal Canin, and the 2 Hill's Stews. I asked him if we should consider phosphorus binder if I get some other brands that are not...

You were very helpful! I do think like you do - for medication - probably "fasting" overnight while she's sleeping and then give her medication as soon as we get up and then the kitchen opens again until bedtime!

Hi all - well - the news isn't great with Lexi - though if we didn't have bloodwork, I'd think she was doing well. She's eating about 2 cans of renal food a day, she's interacting with us, has put on a little weight (which my favorite vet said is not something he sees with most CKD kitties). She...

I'm glad that Jakey is doing well! If my trusted vet recommends US also - I will most likely go forward with that. She is doing so well right now - gaining weight, demanding food every time I walk by the kitchen table (which is where her food bowls are - to keep the dogs from eating it). I...

No worries! It worked on my personal laptop - but would not work at all on my work laptop (even though I've ordered from Chewy before - even today - during my lunch hour).

The replies here have me realizing other items I needed to have on hand. Ordered from Amazon empty gel caps, a pill popper, Equadose pill splitter I saw on another thread, 5 ml oral syringes (also want to try the A/D idea for getting medications in - waffled between 5 and 10 ml before settling...

I ended up deciding on the powdered version - if she won't eat food with it sprinkled on - I did also order empty gel caps that I can give that way (got size 5). Surely 1/8 tsp would fit I'm guessing? If not - I'll order size 4.
