Food For Newly Diagnosed Ckd Kitty

[sarha]

my 14yo kitty, Caleb, was just diagnosed with CKD and I’m having trouble finding canned food he will eat
He’s been on Wellness pate cans, which I found out have high phosphorus levels and so are contraindicated
Caleb refuses to eat the therapeutic Royal Canin or Hills cans that the vet Reccommended
Any help is much appreciated
Also, I must be blind, but I cant find the search function on this site. Please help me find it, lol

Hi! if you're on your desktop, look up at where it says The CatSite in those neat-o orangey-reddish colors,
Under that, there are the words, in all caps,
home, forum, articles, reviews, gallery, members and search.

I've had two cats with CKD, and neither of them would touch prescription food or any low phosphorus commercial food--tried them all. Since my vet said it was much more important that they eat, I added a phosphorus binder to their regular food. I don't know whether it helped.

If you don't already know it, visit Tanya's website for CKD--it's a wealth of information.
