Sometimes I give Popsie fish oil to help with his coat. Do I need to stop now that he has CRF?

Yes, and, well, NO.Only your vet can answer that question for you
Thank you for that link. I just joined. It's nice to have other people to talk to this about. Popsie's CRF isn't bad but I know one day it will be. It's just a matter of time.Originally Posted by BLAISE
Yes, and, well, NO.
Many people who are caring for CRF kitties do use salmon oil as a supplement.
There will be many questions like this which will come up for you, and there are groups of people who "meet" to share questions and answers like this one. The groups have some very experienced CRF caregivers and people like yourself who are just starting out on this journey. They "meet" 24/7/365 in an online group you can find here.
Being part of that group won't take you away from here...it will give you access to a world of knowledge and practical experience that only comes from day-to-day dealing firsthand with these kitties.
Many people in the group frequently comment on the fact that together, their accumulated knowledge and experience far outstrips that of many of their Veterinarians.
You might want to consider joining up...you could do that and just read the back-and-forth postings until you get the "hang" of it, then post if/when you feel comfortable. You'll be well-welcomed there!
(On a side note, I believe that you were concerned about a high calcium value in Popsie's bloodwork - in an earlier post. I came across something that I think you might want to share with your Vet. I do have to dig it out & will post it back in that other thread.)
