My 12 year old cat has ckd and a number of other issues that all seemed to have gotten worse in the last two months starting with a bad constipation episode that lead to two enemas.
We managed to get that under control but now she’s anemic, so we started treatment on that. Her arthritis has gotten worse so we started her on the Assisi loop this week too.
I’m just really sad. I’m not handling her being old and just a chronically ill kitty very well. I can’t even get out of bed because she is my entire world and I don’t know what I’d do if something happened.
Me and her vet have been managing all her things for years and I am proactive with everything. We also just started hardcore treatment this week, so I need to give it time.
I guess I am just having a hard time handling that she is old, she’s not going to be the same cat she was even a year ago, and that I need to stop anticipatory grieving.
What are some people’s experiences with both the loop and anemia. She will get a monthly iron shot and then weekly darbepoetin. If I’m remembering the name of it correctly.
