Cat 1.
has elevated 3.3 creatinine & slight high BUN. Vet thinks early CKD. She's unknown yrs & he thinks older than the 13 we think, upwards of 16 or so. Began Royal Canin kidney diet tonite but what do you all think? She has drank & urinated more over past few months but we did make a huge cross USA move 6 mos. ago, thus the added kidney stress??
Cat 2.
our feral. He's FiV pos. since we 1st found out Dec. 2019 & had I known to refuse ALL VACCINES & SEDATION MEDS FOREVER before NOW I'd have spared him a vet trip today & more stress on HIS comprimised Immune Sys! He's got elevated Bun level of 71 & high Creatinine of 2.9 on today's bld wk SHOWING A SNAPSHOT-IN-TIME-BLOOD TEST but how much is really indicative over a trending timeline?? But the vet's worry is low RBC & WBC counts indicative of FiV progressing & running its course of about 8yrs til progressive decline. He was thought to be 5-6 yr old by our old vet & us past summer, but new all-cat vet says more like 8 yrs, at least, tho I'm unsure if this is true? No reason to EVER vaccinate, sedate or otherwise subject a weak Immune Sys Cat to chemicals -- including perfumes on vets or their techs which ends as residual on cats as they lick & ingest more harm!
OK, any ideas re Immune Boosters? Have used VetriScience Lysine chews for several yrs even as he was outside as a feral. I give (or try to get in him) 4 chews x 250mg = 1000mg/day. He does not always eat them tho. Any other Holistic Immune boosters?? TY all.
