Hi. I agree with bloodwork & T4 checking for HYPO thyroid as this will affect things as well.Most (not all) chubby kitties have been free fed at some point or have not be monitored as per just how much they are actually eating.And how much activity they are participating in. In multi cat...

Hi Smokey. I work with many people all over the world & do understand foreign countries being so different from N.America.There is no comparison.Even food wise is limited unless you can order through amazon.Meds in some countries are banned and almost non existent.Please google video of cat...

Hi Kalli. I'm sorry your baby is struggling & can relate.Whatever your vet is syringing which is a first I have heard of it BTW as they always want to install a feeding tube.Whatever the food is which will be canned.Make sure you find out & it is probably A/D which is kitty crack to some...

Hi Mandy.How much are you getting into her per feeding and what are you feeding?.Glad she is ok after that.For anemia you can look at her gums.Take one finger and press her gum hold it there for a second then release.It should go back to pink.Great she is on the mend.Hugs C.

Hi CatLuv-r. Good luck with that one Honey!!They all have their own rituals on how they go.Different diet may help.But cat poo just is not always perfume.lol.Be glad kitty is using the box & not the floor.Or depending on litter you could try a different type.Maybe ask where she came from what...

Hi Pawprints. That is why I joined strictly a ckd group to ask all those questions.As per the 21 guage winged infusions, I have used them & have a box right here .I sometimes did the syringe method as well as Maxwell was on 60mls just for hydrating his bowel. Nothing to do with his CKD...

Hi PawPrints. I have also seen it mentioned that method Mrs.Green jeans advised on the Ckd group.What i was told yrs ago by my Internist is never restrain your cat for meds .Although many have to be .I understand.Also they have a real good memory to pain or restraint. Never during...

Hi pawprints. How much fluids are you giving per session? You may have already posted that.I'm sorry for reasking.What size of needle are you using.I never ever used the 18 guage harpoon that most vets give you.I used a 21 guage ultra thinned wall terumo brand.But many use the 18 but not me not...

Hi ape48066. I agree with Artie's Mom the kidney is no where near that area at least when I watch my vet palpate for the kidney's.Although none of us are there to see exactly  where.Even if we were to palpate it we are not vets. Being attached or not attached it concerns me.Just from what I...

Hi Ms.Orphan Annie. I think you are doing a great job BTW & Mr wiggles just sounds wonderful.There are different stages of Ch as I told as per Teresa who was a wealth on the subject.The canned will provide a lot of water for him.I know Teresa would hold up Phoenix's head while drinking as his...

Hi It sounds like possibly a food allergy either to fish which most allergies are to the main protein in foods.Thus the reason I never go with fish.As it is very hard to transition them.If you are giving dry can you have another flavor say chicken,gradually add some chicken crunchies into  the...

Hi ape48066. I'm glad bloodwork came back all fine.Although BW does not tell us everything but can help with some illnesses.This lump that you feel.The last time she was at the vet which was not that long ago.Did they not feel her all over?Her lymph nodes,thyroid gland abdomen ,everything ...

Hi Lisa Thank you for your input as it is appreciated.I must say I have also dealt with mostly foreign countries re:Food and have been told personally by the food manufacturer that, that info is Privy to the company only. Unless your vets tell you to go with that food.Food companies that will...

Good Morning Columbine.I agree C/D is not the only one.That was just for reference only.I didn't feel like listing them all out.As for some being more aggressive ,I know nothing of that.Hugs C.

Hi Geez I'd be really hesitant making any homemade recipe food for renal insufficiency cats.I had 3 in my life .My Maxwell was diagnosed stage 2 (iris ) at 10 years old & ate wellness chicken or turkey pate for 5 yrs 11 months.His renal numbers never changed a bit. You do need a vet that is...

Good suggestion hexiesfriend.Many bowls or even oddball casserole dishes as kitties can be strange & want to drink out of weird things.Lol Also re:"Vet food".C/D helps dissolve crystals.Foods with the  SO index have sodium in them to promote cats to drink.I used have a bowl or weird water holder...
