without excessive meowing, that is!!!
I kinda take it back, my cat ate the whole can, and now woke up again being vocally...just sitting here now staring into my face. I guess she just can't tolerate the mirtazapine well enough or still too strong? I know in a day she'll calm down like in January...so we shall see. At least then I gave her Mirtazapine like at 6pmish, and she was like awake the whole night and moewing which was stressful. So now i Held off until this morning so she can get through it during the day and finally sleep in the night. But is this side effect of her moewing and being bit restless means shes not meant for that pill or something else could be wrong? Like even just now as i wrote this, she went to her bed, meowing while laying down (not loud meows though) im hoping she will go sleep.
Re: Arthritis, since the last x-rays were just in January, the vet should not tell you they need done again, unless the scope of the x-rays didn't cover most of her body. Whatever the vet can see on the January x-rays is a good starting point.
Yes I will. She hasn't slept yet since taking it 3 hours ago... and she lays down but as soon she sees me move she gets up and pets me and meows as if she wants more food. but theres no way she could eat more as she ate a lot alrdy? Im hoping this vocalization will wear off soon...
Well good news is that she's been eating well today. must less vocally for sure. I guess if she's eating normally again now its because the med is still in her? I guess once it runs out she may not eat again or very little?
Jem
talked about!!
and yes definitely will ask about the sub-q fluids. But isn't that if she's dehyrdated? Because shes not throwing up water...well not this week at least and shes drinking plenty of water past few days as well?That may be the case, but for now get her back to eating again. That is so important overall. I am guessing that you will still have to move forward with the ultrasound at some point. But, let her be for a while as long as she goes back to eating better.
And, don't forget to ask about the sub-Q fluids that
Helllo,
Well, he wasn't sure. Because based on her latest bloodwork last week, He said that he doesn't see it being a kidney or liver or other organ related issue just based on the bloodwork. Howevert the bloodwork doesn't show everything which he's right. So the next steps were to do an XRAY or ultrasound to see inside her to rule out any tumors or cancers or even IBD.
I'm not suggesting that you don't do the tests that the vet is wanting to do. But I would urge you (I know I've already suggested this) to do the sub-Q fluids for a few days/week or so first. I can't stress enough how beneficial the fluids are for CKD kitties. If your appointment to get the tests done is not for a little bit, you would have time to do it, then re check the blood to see if the calcium and urea levels have gone down as well as if kitty starts eating regularly again.
I agree. I'll ask about those fluids...it's just that I guess she's sorta remain stable in terms of her Kidney values for nearly 2 years and never brought up about those fluids nor did the vet? At the same time, especially in the past several days since visit, shes been drinking from her bowl like normal for like a full minute at least if not longer. She's drinking a lot. I guess that's the part I dont know how she could be dehydrated? But I'lll still ask about it.
