    CKD diagnosis - what to expect

    I guess it depends on what they think caused the bladder infection,...as in...was it bacterial, stones causing blockage, or her kidneys not functioning properly. (with my previous rainbow cat,...I think it was his dental issues...that caused his eventual ckd, and hcm,...but he was older at 14...

    CKD diagnosis - what to expect

    :yeah: Hi, @Chloe Minerva...definitely take a look at the above site, that @FeebysOwner posted. The data food tables have been so extremely helpful, and also learning more about CKD, and the different stages and treatments, is so valuable, too,...in order to know what to expect. Your Jessie...

    Eye Gunk

    Such a great update on your Oscar. :) :thumbsup::yess: With the tapering of the pred, I would ask the Vet Specialists,...if it could be done with the slowest tapering method possible...so that Oscar's body has time to adjust. Also, since both Internal medicine and Cardiologist, are at the same...

    Those are all good names. :thumbsup: I had to look up Derek Shepherd...doctor McDreamy...wow...good name...perfect. perfection...I could go on and on. .:lol::spew: Yup, he looks like a Derek to me, too. (or derek and the dominoes...from eric clapton's young days) Rosie is a very cute name...

    They are absolutely adorable.! :loveeyes::lovecat2: Thanks so much for the cute photo.:cloud9: Hopefully, other members will also come along,...and offer their opinions...once they see this thread. I'm not sure how genetics with cats works,...since there are a lot of recessive and dominant...

    Black and white....male. Brown and white...female. (still a bit hard to tell, though. You'll definitely know in another three weeks...when the testicles develop...or not) :) :cool2: Can we see some more 'full kitten photos'...because you know we love, love, love kitten/cat photos here...

    Introducing Betty White

    I use these 'see through storage drawers on wheels'...for my cat and dog supplies, meds, syringes, etc. Except that I take off the wheels...since they are not too sturdy, and tip over, or the wheels fall off. Also, cannot open more than one drawer, at a time,...due to 'tipping over'. (if you...

    Cat not eating a lot

    Try an experiment with your Jade.... Put a tiny portion of...the smelliest type of wet cat food,...down on a flat plate. Then a foot away, (30 cm)...place another flat plate...with his usual favorite cat food (tiny portion) Finally, a third flat plate, (another 30cm away)...with either the...

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    Double Yay!!..from here, too. :clap::woo: So glad that you got your Blondie home, again, @catladyky...and that he is eating. :yess: :jive: **You may still find that that he may be 'a bit leaky' from his liquid poop, and that it will look a bit yellowish,...for up to four days. Remember to just...

    Cat not eating a lot

    It's definitely strange that Jade won't eat, unless you put it right in front of him. Yet, he acts normally in all other areas, so he does have the Energy to sustain him. Has your Jade been neutered, already?

    Introducing Betty White

    How does a Specialist go from IBD to FIP...based on fever of unknown origin...(FUO)...when this fever started after his endoscopic procedure?? (god, my head is spinning,...so I can only imagine the day you've had, @daftcat75 :frustrated::disappointed: :alright::hugs::grouphug:) It would make...

    Geoffrey Small Cell Lymphoma

    @artiemom ...I wonder if you can use any of the 'tips and tricks'...from this Fundamentally Feline video...for your Geoffrey. I particularly like the first one, where she coats the capsule, in some A/D recovery food. And also the 'parfait trick'...where the meds are 'sandwiched between two...

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    Did you tell the local Vet the amount of days that your Blondie has not pooped? If you can somehow convince them to do the enema, or just see him briefly, to make sure his intestines are not filled with hardened poop...then that would be so worth it. They could perhaps advise you what you can...

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    None of us are Vets here,....but I think you sister may be right...that your cat has a Blockage in his intestines...impaction, or severe Constipation...and needs an Enema...to move out the poop. This to me, is an Emergency right now, because he's been so long without pooping...and is vomiting...

    Introducing Betty White

    Betty is still a trooper and so are you. Try not to go to 'worst case scenario'...even though I think that all of us here, have 'worry' as our middle names. If it were a rupture, or tear, then I figure you would see it in her vomiting blood, or dark coloured stools. Even with Betty on...

    Introducing Betty White

    Forgive me for asking again,...but can you ask the Vet to also check Betty's B12 levels, pancreas, and thyroid levels,...just in case...as not sure if this is normally done in routine blood work? Could her throat/esophagus be inflamed from the anesthetic and endoscopic procedure? And could you...

    CKD diagnosis - what to expect

    I would not let your Meimey eat the phosphorus binder. Not only because it might cause constipation, but I would be worried about restricting a healthy cat's phosphorus levels, and really don't know what that would do to a health cat's system. StackPath Tanya's Comprehensive Guide to Feline...

    Yay!! It's never an imposition, @hybriseris....ask away whenever you want.

    Introducing Betty White

    I think you're dealing with so many issues right now, that to know which exact one is causing Betty to feel 'not herself'...is difficult. Since they did 'biopsies'...that has to cause 'some pain'...after the anesthetic wears off. (my human sister had biopsies in colon, and did feel lousy for a...

    Cat has been in the heating vent for two days, not eating or drinking.

    Hi @Parktaejoon...I hope your Mila comes back soon. :crossfingers: :alright::hugs::grouphug: Your thread reminds me of another similar thread...from earlier this year...so I am just going to 'copy and paste' my reply from there...and add on to the good advice from the other members. This is...
