    I don’t think I can do this

    Oh, and I just offered him a Churu. That was a big no.

    I don’t think I can do this

    We have done Miritaz today. At least he is eating some treats. THIS CAT is so non-food motivated. He has never had a good appetite even on good days. It has been a struggle to keep him eating for a long time, but he has never gone this long. Baby food does not work. FortiFlora does not...

    I don’t think I can do this

    I am screaming in my head HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? My 16 y/o Himmie has had CKD for about two years and was doing really well. I have been giving him subq’s and keeping his appetite going with Mirataz as needed. He was happy, loving and still playful. We went to the vet (a new one) for bloodwork...

    Would appreciate feedback re: my cat starving himself

    Do a search here for Cerenia. I think you will see quite a few posts relating to it and lack of appetite.

    Would appreciate feedback re: my cat starving himself

    I am going through something very similar. My Purrcy has CKD and we have been dealing with acute Pancreatitis for almost two weeks now. I am syringe feeding and also feel sometimes that it’s just not enough. We have had three feedings today of 20ml each and will do one more tonight. We just...

    Counterintuitive Syringe Feeding?

    Yes, when his bp was checked two weeks after starting the Amlodipine it was 148 at the vet’s office. He was pleased with that. I suspect that it was too low here at home. Makes me sick that I didn’t stop the med sooner, but I thought he needed it and was trying to prevent something bad, but...

    Counterintuitive Syringe Feeding?

    I am a mess, so I hope this makes sense. My 16yo Himmie (my profile pic when he was much younger) has pancreatitis. It has been awful and he flatly refuses food other than maybe 3 or 4 treats occasionally. Mirataz does not work, even using Zofran twice daily. I have been syringe feeding him...

    Elura

    I understand it has a very objectionable taste. Has that made it particularly difficult to administer to your cat?

    Kidney Crash?

    Pardon my ignorance. Can a cat with creatnine of 2.5, designated with Stage 2 CKD, have a crash? And what exactly is a crash?

    Bad Experience with Homeopathic Supplement

    Believe me, this is not my first rodeo with this horrible stuff. We have seen the vet more than I care to think about. Please elaborate as to what miraculous product your vet recommends for congestion. There are antihistamines, but no decongestants that are safe for cats. And antibiotics do...

    Bad Experience with Homeopathic Supplement

    I used Breathe Easy by BestLife4Pets. I only used one dose because I got nervous. Turns out, he was coming down with a pretty severe herpes outbreak. He has stopped eating which always scares me. We are doing the dreaded syringe feeding. He tolerates it well, as he always does with anything...

    Bad Experience with Homeopathic Supplement

    Has anyone ever encountered serious side effects after administering a homeopathic supplement to your cat? I am extremely worried about my cat after giving him a respiratory med.

    Amlodipine and Lethargy

    His bp was checked two weeks after starting the med and was down to 145 from a high of over 200. I worry that it may actually be lower than that when he is home and not stressed.

    Amlodipine and Lethargy

    His kidney values had actually improved. i’m going to call the vet if things don’t get better.

    Cerenia makes my cat stop eating. We never use it anymore.

    Amlodipine and Lethargy

    My 16 y/o has been on .625 Amlodipine per day for almost three weeks now. He has stage 2 CKD and his bp was very high at 200+, so I know he has to have the med. It has brought his bp down to around 145, measured at the vet clinic. He has been so lethargic since starting the drug. Even at his...

    Amlodipine and Lack of Appetite?

    We go back on Friday for a recheck of the bp. Purrcy has times of low appetite, but has been doing well lately. His bloodwork was really good this past month, creatinine was down to 2.5 from a high of 3.7! We use Miritaz, too. I gave him some this afternoon, but still hasn’t eaten much...

    Amlodipine and Lack of Appetite?

    My 16 yo CKD kitty was prescribed Amlodipine for hypertension at 1/4 of a 2.5 tablet per day. For the first few days all was fine and he ate normally. Now that it’s been about 10 days, his appetite seems to be waning. Has anyone experienced appetite issues with this drug?
