Hi, I'm hoping for advice on what's the best food for my cat with early CKD.
Her creatinine value is on the higher side (1.9) but other values like BUN are well within limits.
However, she has moderate arthritis and has been losing weight due to muscle atrophy as well as the k/d therapeutic diet.
I'm now convinced that a low protein diet is not appropriate for her. She barely weighs 6 lbs and can't afford to lose any more weight.
The vet insists on keeping her on the therapeutic diet but she hates it and she's losing weight. She's now down to 5.84 lbs from 6.06 lbs.
I have heard of Tanya's website, but the food table is now slightly outdated. I don't think it's been updated in the last 2 years.
Any advice from CKD cat parents, and specific recommendations on what food has worked for your kitties? Would appreciate any insight.
I've ordered a whole load of varieties from Weruva, hoping my picky kitty takes to one of them!
